Yes it does look good. But thanks for the hot tip!


. It is the older model where the bolier is aluminium, I believe the newer ones are brass. Its not very consistent probabaly due to aluminium boiler. Steaming is not that great either. Ive had mine for about 4 years and have had the thermostat replaced twice and also the temperature gauge as well. Youre far better of with a Silvia which at least comes with a commercial size porta filter. The FrancisFrancis X1 is sligthy smaller, did I mention the cracked plastic handle on the porta filter :-[ Stay away from it if you can and dont succumb to its looks, my wife did !!!
