My francis francis X1 is in need of a service, can anybody suggest a place in Adelaide that may be familiar with this machine?

Much appreciated,

Hi DCR - the X1 , and I think all of the FancisFrancis! machines are manufactured by Quaha - and are almost the same as a series 1 Napoletana/Quaha/Mokita/Salda etc. They do however have an electronic espresso temp thermostat (the steam one is a standard screw in bi-metallic) - and the steam valve tends to leak often , but its particular to that machine.  Apart from the portafilter seal and cleaning the showerscreen , theyre pretty reliable, and anyone that can service any of the other machines should be able to do the X1 .
regards, pip.

Thats great, thanks pip. Weve had the machine for over a year, and (as you suggested) apart from a little leaking from the steam valve it has been very reliable. A good home countertop machine generally.
Appreciate your response,
