Hello again,
Recently collected two of these francis & Francis machines,one X3 and other much older X1.
Both inoperative or claimed by previous owners.
The X3 had a failed boiler seal,with a bit of reworking and new silicone o ring,works beautifully.
The X1 was simply jammed with calcium and dry joint (boiler top) for temperature probe,works really well now also.
The bigger X1 came complete with both ESE (pod) and ground coffee porta filter handles (not interchangeable with X3).
The X3 unfortunately only came with ESE (pod),again was not interchangable with X1.
I'd like to source ground coffee porta filter handle for X3 with suitable baskets.
Is anyone familiar with these models to the extent of knowing where I might find one?
Kind Regards,
Mick.
