The iconic & vibrant red X7.1 Coffee Machine by Francis Francis offers the next level in coffee making performance, exclusively using renowned illy capsules. Extract perfection The iper Espresso system enables you to prepare true café-quality espresso in the comfort of your own home. The X7.1 uses a revolutionary new method to deliver you the perfect espresso, thanks to a ground-breaking two-stage extraction technology. Instead of the coffee being extracted within the coffee handle, where the illy capsule is placed, it takes place within the capsule. Coffee is forced through the bottom of the capsule, mixing the aromatic oils with air to produce a full-bodied & long-lasting crema. Not only does this iper Espresso system produce extraordinary coffee, it also means the X7.1 Espresso Machine is easy to clean & maintain due to the machine never coming into contact with the coffee. Flawless design The X7.1 is supported by 15 bars of pressure & a generous 1 litre removable water tank. It is not only espresso that this exclusive illy machine makes. With its traditional steam wand you can make a thick, frothy cappuccino or latte too, making you able to entertain whoever walks into your kitchen. The X7.1 Espresso Machine uses an automatic descaling program, maintaining this beautiful poster red machine & utilises a handy auto-stop feature to control the cup volume. Included with the Francis Francis X7.1 Coffee Machine is a tin of 14 illy capsules, making you ready to experience this beautiful coffee from the outset.
