illy was founded in 1933 in Trieste by Francesco Illy. As early as 1935, he designed the Illetta, which the brand describes as the forerunner of modern espresso machines. Its signature coffee is a 100% Arabica blend from nine origins.
The Iperespresso system, patented by illy, extracts espresso in two stages: hyper-infusion under pressure inside the capsule, followed by emulsification as it leaves. The capsule regulates the pressure, temperature and extraction time, and the coffee never touches the machine: one capsule makes one espresso.
Our selection: the X1 Anniversary Eco Mode (Iperespresso capsules, in stainless steel or red), the X1 Anniversary E.S.E. & café moulu (portafilter, milk frother, 1 L water tank), the X7.1 (Iperespresso capsules, steam wand, 1 L water tank), in a domestic or professional version, and the compact Y3.3. You can order illy Iperespresso capsules with the machine.
illy is present in more than 140 countries, trains baristas and enthusiasts at its Università del Caffè, established in Trieste, and presents the Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award to coffee producers every year.
The questions our customers ask most often.
It depends on the coffee you want to use and where you will use the machine:
For an office, choose the X7.1 Professionnelle; for home, choose the version of the X1 Anniversary that suits your coffee.
One Iperespresso capsule makes one espresso: it cannot be reused.
Iperespresso is a system patented by illy that extracts espresso in two stages inside the capsule:
The capsule regulates the pressure, temperature and extraction time, and the coffee never touches the machine. This is why an Iperespresso machine only takes Iperespresso capsules.
The frequency depends on your water hardness and the number of coffees you make: the machine tells you when descaling is needed. On the X1 Anniversary, a slowly flashing orange indicator signals that descaling is needed; the X7.1 also has an automatic descaling alert.
Use illy descaling solution and follow the procedure in your machine's instruction manual. According to the X1 manual, failing to descale can cause faults that are not covered by the warranty.

The E.S.E. & café moulu version lets you choose coffee from any brand; the Eco Mode version offers the simplicity of capsules.
