How do I use a Francis Francis espresso machine?

I've got more!

I bought two hundred rolls for a grand.
The man reckons I can make five times that back. Bargain!

So quoad, this aerobie aeropress this - is it good?

Depends what you want! It's got a good reputation. A surprisingly good reputation. IIRC, Steve's quite a fan. There's a thread on TMC (IIRC, started by the bloke who designed / invented it), and it's a device with a whole lot of followers...

Erm, it's up there on my 'list of things I'd quite like, but tbh can't really justify and keep on forgetting about when I've got a spare twenty quid*'. Meant to be somewhere between FP and espresso. Can also be customised with a Swiss Gold filter.

Definitely worth having a look at the tmc thread, if interested.

*also, I recently got a Chemex. And am trying to find a way of using two espresso machines, a new FP, my Chemex and my vacpot in some kind of ungodly rotation "Oh, it's Tuesday, that means it's Zaffiro day!"
