    3.0 out of 5 stars Lovely retro look but not as good as it should be, 14 Jan 2008
    By Caramac girl (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    I wanted one of these machines for a while before finally buying this one. I wanted to go for the Kitchenaid one (over 500 pounds!)but my husband persuaded me this one was fine. I have now discovered a couple of annoying glitches the first one being that the one and two cup spouts supplied with the machine are plastic (not metal like those with other machines) and they don't fit under the filter properly and fall off. This means that we can't use them and have to make single cups every time - which is a faff if you have 3 or 4 coffees to make - either that or fiddle around pouring coffee from one cup into another or use a small jug etc.....Which brings me onto the other frustrating thing which is that there isn't much 'headroom' for a cup under the filter (even less with the spout attached) - only short espresso cups fit and so if you wanted cappucino you have to pour the espresso into a bigger cup to give room for the steamed milk. I now know that the Kitchenaid is higher and so would take taller cups and mugs.
    I guess the X1 is made this way so that it's not too tall to fit on the kitchen worktop where there is a wall cupboard above but it does compromise it's function.
    I have to say despite these frustrations it looks lovely, I use it every day, it works very well, has a good sized water reservoir, heats up in good time, it makes great coffee, (but I'm drinking too much!)
    Overall 325 pounds feels too much to pay for something that isn't quite what it should be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Top Coffee!, 21 April 2008
    I saw these in Italy about 5 or 6 years ago, and bought one on my return to England. I've never had any issues with cup sizes (I use regular espresso or cappucino cups), and mine came with a metal spout, which has always fitted without any problem.
    It still makes fantastic coffee after 5 years.
    If/when it does finally throw in the towel, I'll be replacing it with one exactly the same.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Francis Francis X1 is ace!, 15 April 2008
    By Mr. P. Campbell (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I disagree with Caramac girls review. My Cappuccino cups fit fine under the spout and the plastic pouring spouts also fit properly. It looks cool, makes great coffee and the frother/ milk heater is more powerful than some. Buy it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY
    Very poor quality shots. Very messy. Mine's going in the bin! Buy La Pavoni or something else instead, for £200 less (not Gaggia - unreliable). Gets one star for looks.
