X1 Owner (quality: 4.5)	11.28.2007	Rating: 8.6

Thomas Scheidegger (quality: 5.0)	09.19.2000	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: looks great but will only satisfy espresso-drinkers

Steve Strawman (quality: 8.0)	02.04.2006	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Probably more style than substance, but capable of making decent (not great) espresso; a high-maintenance trophy-wife.

Steve Caswell (quality: 7.0)	12.14.2007	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Great machine if you're into convenience and like the idea of switching between pods and traditional in an instance.

Steve Baker (quality: 2.0)	02.04.2000	Rating: 4.0
Bottom Line: Steer well clear of this baby its a nightmare!

Bottom Line: Can find no reason to rate less than a ten on all counts

Robert Bloom (quality: 4.3)	12.14.2007	Rating: 1.0
Bottom Line: £25 coffee in a £400 machine. Or, for U.S. readers, $50 coffee in an $800 machine.
