Coffee connoisseurs are a rare breed. Caffeinated though they may be, they usually have finely designed machines pumping out their obsessions. Despite popular belief, the finest coffee doesn’t come in a paper cup with a white and green emblem stamped on it. It’s usually made with care by an Italian machine with a covetable red label, Illy.

This Francis Francis X1 Illy Coffee Machine is the perfect blend of style and substance. The X1 has been one of Illy’s most popular designs for decades, but this latest model has been beautifully upgraded. Illy describes it as “ideal for connoisseurs who love preparing authentic espresso the traditional way, the X1 Ground features new state-of-the-art electronics and automatic boiler refill. Featuring all new electronics and updated controls, this retro-futuristic espresso machine designed by Italian architect Luca Trazzi comes in a handsome finish that makes a bold statement in any kitchen.”

It can accommodate fine grounds for espresso or regular coffee grounds. At around $700, it will make a delicious gift for your favorite foodie.
