Timeless Design. Sustainable Innovation. Effortless Espresso.

The X1 Anniversary Espresso Machine blends iconic Italian design with modern functionality, offering a seamless espresso experience for both ground coffee lovers and those who prefer the convenience of E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pods. Designed by renowned architect Luca Trazzi, its rounded, vintage-inspired silhouette is paired with a durable, all-metal construction—available in striking red, stainless steel, and black.

Crafted for versatility, the X1 Anniversary accommodates both ground espresso and 100% compostable E.S.E. pods, giving you the freedom to choose your preferred brewing method. Powered by a 15-bar pressure pump, it delivers rich, full-bodied espresso with perfect crema, every time.
