Francis Francis! 201030 X1 Trio Espresso machine Review

I had wanted this machine for about 3 years.I finally decided to get one in Stainless.It is absolutely gorgeous!It is such a fine ascetically pleasing design.I love the toggle switches.Fit and finish are wonderful.
I had it for about a year. Unfortunately it was only good at making espresso with pods.It was an awful steamer and I drink mostly milk based drinks.
I ended up with the Rancilio Silvia.It is a night and day difference.The Silvia a "real" machine.Better tasting espresso, much, much better steamer ending in a tremendous product.
If you want a beautiful piece of equipment siting on your counter and are not too into coffee, one a week or so, I'd recommend getting this.Otherwise look else where for a good grinder and a good machine.I'd recommend the Silvia as the best you'll find under $800.

Francis!Francis! X1 Ground Espresso Machines Review

We bought this based on info about how good the construction was. Paid about $600 over four years ago.(from another website) We only used it on the weekends and really enjoyed it.About six months after the one year warranty expired so did the machine! As soon as we plug it in the GFCI blows. There is some kind of short in it and the only place that repairs them is in Oregon or Seattle. So there it sits, for over two years, collecting dust. Very, very dissapointed in the machine.
