I hear “X5″ I think “BMW”. That’s just me. The other day my dear friend Clare - a total Nigella - told me she’d just ordered the FrancisFrancis! X5 Espresso Machine. In pink. She says “It has a 48-ounce water tank with rear access and a battery-powered clock on the front.” I say “Great. Will stop by to try it out sometime soonish” and think Does it also come with a compass in the stock?

Then I go straight to my Product Review Source. The X5 is small and shiny and comes in a rainbow of colours. But it looks nothing like an airplane or ship that might be invisible to radar - despite the manufacturer’s claims.
