This may be a stupid post, but I was in the HomeGoods store near North Point Mall looking for odds and ends for the coffee shop I'm working at now, and ran across 3 Francis!Francis! X5 machines behind some toasters and irons.  I don't have a decent home machine and am considering buying one of these.  I still need to read some reviews on them, but heck, for $299.99 it can't be a terrible deal...can it?

I just figured that if anyone out there was looking for a cool looking home machine but couldn't afford anything from the Elektra Casa line ($1000-ish) this might be a decent place to start.

Click here for some feedback. Looks like their going for about 75% of normal street price.

I am not a big fan of Francis! Francis! machines based upon my reading but you might be able to learn to 'love' their quirkiness.
