I have had my machine for two years and it has operated flawlessly the whole time. I do proper maintenance and descale with Cleancaf regularly. from Amazon.com The FFx1 had it all. Or so I thought. Looks are not everything - I have learned, when it comes to espresso machines. THis is a work of art, but after 1 year of great lattes, it stopped working. from Amazon.com We bought this based on info about how good the construction was. Paid about $600 over four years ago.(from another website) We only used it on the weekends and really enjoyed it. About six months after the one year warranty expired so did the machine! As soon as we plug it in the GFCI blows. from Amazon.com This is a great little espresso machine. I've had mine since 2004 or 2005 with no problems. from Amazon.com The negative reviews I just read may be spot on, but I only use this machine to make a double-shot of espresso every morning. The machine has worked flawlessly for years and it's a reliable part of my morning routine. from Amazon.com This machine is well made and has a user-interface that my destructive wife can handle without breaking anything; although she did scratch it on day 2 using a dish sponge :( from Amazon.com Don't believe the hype about "quality brass components". The pump on my machine died after one year of daily use in the morning. The temperature gauge on the front stopped working a few months prior to that. from Amazon.com I've never had a single problem with it. I manage to make a delicious cup of espresso with plenty of cremma from my own ground coffee EVERY TIME. Maybe some of the "professionals" are having difficulty with it because they are treating it like a commercial machine? I find that it is simple to use. from Amazon.com I bought my pea-green Francis! Francis! X1 from Amazon about 5 years. Since then, I've used it almost every day -- let's say 1000+ cups of espresso so far. from Amazon.com I had wanted this machine for about 3 years. I finally decided to get one in Stainless. from Amazon.com
