illy Iperespresso Decaf Home — 90 capsules (5 boxes of 18)

Only compatible with illy Iperespresso machines : illy specifies that its Iperespresso capsules only work with its Iperespresso machines. In its current range, these are the X7.1 , the Y3.3 , and the X1 Anniversary ECO Mode , in its Iperespresso version (the X1 Anniversary for ESE pods and ground coffee does not accept them).

They are not compatible with Nespresso, A Modo Mio or Dolce Gusto machines. See illy machines.

illy rates its Decaf 5 out of 9 for intensity, the same as the Classico, and describes it as having a balanced taste with notes of caramel, chocolate , and toast, and a smooth finish. Its caffeine content is 0.1% at most, compared to 1.5% at most for the Classico.

With caffeine, Classico has notes of caramel, orange blossom and jasmine.

The capsule is a small extraction chamber. The coffee is first hyper-infused, which develops its body and aromas, then emulsified, which forms a thick, velvety and persistent crema: illy presents this two-phase process as patented.

One capsule gives one espresso: it is not reusable.

Five boxes of 18 Decaf capsules, for a total of 90 espressos. The box of 18 is also sold individually.

illy recommends storing them in a dry, clean, and well-ventilated, away from sunlight and heat. The capsules are packaged in a protective atmosphere; once the box is opened, illy advises consuming them preferably within 15 days.

Iperespresso capsules are made of plastic. Please direct them to plastic recycling, or to a dedicated collection point where one exists: follow your local recycling guidelines. Coffee grounds can be composted.
