Beautiful machines with an excellent coffee
Since 1994 Francis Francis!, founded by Francesco Illy, has produced espresso machines of high quality materials and design, dedicated to the home market. 
Francis Francis! was the first to propose a bold and unconventional household appliance thanks to the affinity between metal and color: the X1 model is the most photographed espresso machine in the world.
In 2004 the company was purchased by illycaffè, the company leader for more than 70 years in the espresso coffee segment. |
The >Trio models
The Trio technology turns the beautiful design of the Francis Francis! machines into a valuable tool for making an excellent espresso.
The new Trio extraction group allows for greater versatility and the possibility of obtaining the desired espresso – long, normal or strong – with a simple and intuitive rotation of the filter holder. 
Cup quality is also guaranteed by a completely electronic control system.
The Trio system uses the E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) single servings.
The same coffee pod can therefore be used to obtain three different results. The new Trio technology has been applied to the X1 X3 and X6 Francis Francis! machines.
Machines made to last
For all the Francis Francis! espresso machine bodies, the highest quality of materials have been chosen, bestowing a timeless fascination to the espresso machine.
All the models are available in a wide assortment of colors with finishes that guarantee maximum durability and brilliance.
If the machine is taken care of and kept clean and dry, it can be enjoyed for many years. That's why only tested components of the best quality are used in the Francis Francis! machines!

It all began with an excellent espresso and a design idea
All the Francis Francis! machines originate from the creativity of Luca Trazzi, renowned designer and architect who has collaborated with numerous companies in the field of the design. 1994: The X1 was born.  "I will never forget, how Luca, who understood not a single word of Catalan, gesticulated to Joaquim, who understood not a single word of Italian, and indicated concentric circles with his hand, as if he was trying to depict the shape of a head… Joaquim nodded… and Luca kept at it: He would send him the drawing.
Two months later, Joaquim, beaming with joy, presented the first X1 made out of wood.
It immediately became obvious to all of us: the pleasure in the shape lay in the notion of giving the kitchen an entirely new meaning. The espresso machine would no longer be a misshapen, parallel-piped object, an inexpressive thing that should be hidden away in a cupboard. It would be a beautiful coffee machine, which would fill the kitchen with joy, be pleasing in design and inviting to the touch…". (Francesco Illy) |
