Great
By Louis
Bought this machine from amazon 6 months ago. Nothing to complain about. Looks great, makes great shots (one at a time!). I 'd wish all parts would be stainless steel, but the little plastic spout is doing the job for now...Would buy it again!Go for it, if you like your after dinner expresso strong & creamy !

Francis, Francis, What! have you done?
By jonny jon
I could,nt believe it, an X1 in stainless for £360.00. I told myself it must be too good to be true. And it was. When I took it out of the box there was water inside the wrapping. I did,nt think it meant anything.I got the machine fired up and had some initial problems with the electronic beep not sounding and then the lights flashing but I seemed to rectify that after a look at the troubleshooting page.So now to make my coffee. I like it strong so the smaller of the two inserts i fill to the brim for one coffee.Whats! happening here, I cant get the portafilter on?. Why? because theres a hoofing great lump of metal in the way, so I have to take some coffee out, and then some more and then some more. By the time i,ve inserted the stuff theres only half the grinds that i normally have. Even with the larger insert I cannot put enough coffee in to make two strong cups of anything.Why did,nt a coffee drinker test this product out, after it came back from the engineers? It tastes not as good as tescos instant!On my second attempt I noticed that where the chrome collar is bolted into the main body of the machine, water was bubbling out where the seal is located, and leaking down into my coffee cup.I thought Thank God, I can send the stupid thing back!!!
