The new Francis Francis X7 iperEspresso machine from illycaffè is sure to delight anyone who unwraps it this Christmas, be they coffee aficionado or gadget enthusiast.
Designed by the esteemed Italian architect Lucca Trazzi, the Francis Francis X7 uses the unique illy coffee iperEspresso method to create perfect, full-bodied espressos at the touch of a button.
The X7 also allows the coffee enthusiast to adjust the length of their drink, so whether your morning calls for a short ristretto or a taller lungo, your coffee will always be the perfect size under its thick, long-lasting crema.
The traditional steam wand is also perfect for creating cappuccinos, lattes and, on those rare days when coffee doesn’t feature on your menu, even hot chocolate.
With its exquisite good looks, and innovative new approach, the X7 will look consistently perfect on any kitchen worktop, and deliver consistently perfect coffee, long after Christmas is over.The X7 costs £179 (including 42 illy iperEspresso capsules) and is available in red or black from www.espressocrazy.com.
