Francis Francis for illy X7.1 iperEspresso Machine

Fans of illy coffee will love nothing more than having this Espresso machine by Francis Francis made especially for illy’s convenient single-serve capsules.

If your’e not familiar with illy’s coffee, it’s an Italian coffee brand that is usually served at the best European and high-end cafes, so you know the stuff is top-notch! Personally, it is one of my favorite coffee brands ever.

The Francis Francis espresso machine has the classic looks of a manual espresso machine – absolutely gorgeous design – but it works in the most push-button convenient style. It works with illy’s iperEspresso capsules to create the perfect shot of Espresso with a single touch of a button, and with a variety of customizations and programability available, you’ll be able to create the perfect cup of espresso, cappuccino or latte that is made just for you.

Features of the Francis Francis X7.1:

• One touch brewing using illy’s iperEspresso capsules.
• Steam wand for frothing milk to create delicious coffee drinks like Cappuccino or Latte.
• Programmable volume and temperature.
• Innovative patented two-stage brewing process to create the most aromatic, full bodied espresso.
• Minimal clean up required. The coffee extraction takes place inside the capsule and does not come in contact with the machine at all.

illy offers a range of coffee blends to choose from, you’ll be able to choose from: dark roast, medium roast, decaf and lungo – which is basically a medium roast but prepared to create coffee with more volume like an Americano. These are only the basic blends available, other delicious blends like Brazilian, Ethiopian and Guatemala are available as well. The capsules are usually sealed in a metal container – unlike the usual boxed capsules – which keep the capsules safe for the longest time.

So, if you’re ready to make the best European style coffee drinks at home, and have a strikingly beautiful appliance at home, the Francis Francis X7.1 is the machine for you. It is available in Red or Black, so choose the one that goes with your decor the best.
