A Tale of Two Francises: Coppola and the Francis, Francis! X7 espresso machine -- now on sale for $395 SHIPPED, & with FREE illy espresso!


Updated 12/18/09:



In "Epic in a Demitasse Cup" (New York Times), filmmaker-turned-foodie and winemaker Francis Ford Coppola exalts the retro-cool look and awesome performance of his Francis, Francis! X7 espresso machine.



Now is THE perfect time to snap up your own stylish piece of caffeine culture -- because the Francis, Francis! X7 is on sale today for the way-low price of (drum roll, please...)

$395 with free ground shipping from Sur La Table, available in red or black -- and complete with mail-in offer for 126 FREE Illy espresso capsules worth $96! (Fine print: offer valid only with purchase of the X7.)

The artful, playful Francis, Francis! line has long reigned supreme as true eye candy among espresso machines. But the X7 is the model in which, by all reviewers' accounts, the makers of Francis, Francis! finally and truly succeeded in marrying gorgeous form with fabulous function. This machine makes one seriously good cup of espresso -- just ask Francis Ford Coppola (who, incidentally, shares a first name with the machine only by coincidence, according to the NYT).

And as readers of the NYT article will note, this model started out at $699; regular list price today is $599. So grab yours now before this offer ends! And don't forget the mail-in offer for 126 FREE espresso capsules, available exclusively to buyers of the Francis, Francis! X7.

So what's to wait for? Grab one for yourself, or make this the holiday gift they'll never forget!
