I recently purchased this coffeemaker to replace my previous one which I had for four years and was also a Black & Decker Spacemaker. This is the fifth one I have had. I like this one much better than any of the others. There is a feature which keeps the coffee nice and hot which my previous one didn’t have (on and off switch). The markings on the water reservoir are on both sides now instead of on just one side, so I don’t have to turn it around to see how far to fill it, and also there are deep indentations for my fingers on the reservoir which makes it so much easier for my arthritic hands to carry. My filters seem to fit into the Brew Basket better than in my previous coffee maker’s basket. They no longer overlap. The pot doesn’t drip while pouring as my previous one did. It took a long time for my husband to install but after several hours he did a good job doing it. He had to go to the hardware store to buy longer screws with a finer thread. Now it is installed securely and is very satisfactory. Others may have no problem with installation. It is a pleasure to use, and I am so glad that I bought it.

The Francis Francis X3 is a road to repair, expense, aggravation, waiting and less. The x3 broke annually. The boiler is too tiny. Check out Machines in the 1000-1500 dollar range. If you buy an x3 fro 600.00 before long you’ll be spending well over a thousand dollars anyway. So wait.. Research, get on line and figure out the basic fundamentals of expresso. It’s a bit of a challenge and an art. If you dont figure out the basics of how to properly grind and fill a portafilter which you can view on youtube, the you will be playing with a machine which is very very easy to destroy. If for instance you are short on water, or the coffee is added with too much pressure then the next day you’ll be puting your x3 into a box and 5 weeks and $150.00 later you have another chance to break it. To me it is just not dependable. Leave it on by accident and bang will be an audible sound of the boiler popping. The way around this is the pod method which is lame and will not give you the the traditional expresso as the Italians created. Not too mention the ouch of 65 cents per cup. Might as well enjoy the service of a waiter. The problem for me is that if you are talented in the repair dept. then the fact that the Francis Francis is strictly proprietary .. This means $75.00 for time plus parts. $600.00 for the X3 is monumental in light of the later cost’s. The big design and the combination water-steamer coming out of a boiler the size of a small coffee cup is a disaster waiting to happen. When you taste a real expresso from a real expresso machine in the 12-1500.00 range, my guess is that you will do with your coffee maker or europress until you can pay the money and have something wonderful. There is nothing like waking up to the most fabulous machine which is dependable, beautiful, pours out steam like a locomotive, and pours out a cappuccino like a Barista from itally, You’ll be thrilled about the $600.00 you saved by not buying a damn Francis Francis machine.

The Cuisinart TTG-500 Two to Go Coffeemaker has been specifically developed for people on the Go, and it makes that very clear from its title. Very often people have complained about the mess that normal coffee machines cause as a result of pouring the coffee into Travel mugs and then cleaning the pot itself. The Cuisinart TTG-500 Two to Go Coffeemaker is targetted towards these people and in my assessment keeps the promise that it makes.
