See the ClassicoIntroducing the illy Iperespresso Professional system
The illy Iperespresso system was designed to simplify espresso preparation while ensuring consistent extraction. Thanks to the capsule format, the user doesn't need to measure coffee, adjust the grind, or handle ground coffee. Simply insert the capsule into a compatible machine to prepare a cup.
In its professional version, this system is particularly well-suited for locations where multiple people use the machine daily. It ensures a consistent supply of coffee with clean, quick, and easy operation. It's a practical choice for businesses, reception areas, hotels, restaurants, shops, and waiting rooms.
The illy Iperespresso Professional capsules therefore meet a specific need: to offer consistently high-quality coffee in an easy-to-use format. The choice between Classico and Decaf then depends on the consumption profile, the time of day, and the user's preferences.
illy Iperespresso Professional Classico Classic Roast Capsules – 30 capsules
illy Iperespresso Professionnel Classico Classic Roast capsules are designed for lovers of smooth, balanced, and easy-to-enjoy coffee. The Classico profile is one of the most accessible in the illy range. It offers a well-rounded, harmonious cup, perfect for regular consumption.
This coffee is distinguished by its smooth taste and pleasant mouthfeel. It is generally appreciated for its delicate notes and balance, without excessive intensity. It is not a very strong coffee, but rather an aromatic espresso, designed to appeal to a wide audience.
The 30-capsule format is particularly practical in a professional setting. It provides a quantity suitable for frequent consumption, whether in an office, break room, shop, or reception area.
Who are Classico Classic Roast capsules intended for?
Classico Classic Roast capsules are suitable for those seeking a smooth and balanced espresso. They are ideal for those who prefer a pleasant, aromatic coffee without excessive bitterness or strength.
They are also recommended for professional spaces where users' tastes may vary. In an office or reception area, not everyone necessarily appreciates very strong coffees. The Classico therefore represents a good compromise between taste, mildness, and consistency.
Pointof Classico Classic Roast capsules

- 30-capsule format suitable for regular consumption.

Pointto consider before buying
Classico Classic Roast is not the most intense coffee in the illy range. Those who prefer very full-bodied, strong, or bitter coffees may prefer a darker roast.
It's also important to check compatibility with the machine you're using. The term "Iperespresso Professional" is significant: not all capsule machines use the same system.
illy Iperespresso Professional Decaffeinated Capsules – 18 capsules
illy Iperespresso Professional Decaffeinated capsules are designed for people who want to drink coffee while limiting their caffeine intake. They allow you to enjoy an aromatic espresso without choosing a regular coffee with higher caffeine content.
Illy decaffeinated coffee maintains a balanced and pleasant profile in the cup. It is particularly suitable for times when you want to avoid caffeine, for example in the afternoon, at the end of the day, or after a meal.
The 18-capsule format is well-suited for more occasional consumption. In a professional setting, decaf is often offered alongside regular coffee to meet the needs of clients, visitors, or employees who prefer not to consume caffeine.
Who are the Decaffeinated capsules intended for?
Decaffeinated capsules are for people sensitive to caffeine, those who wish to reduce their consumption, or those who like to drink coffee at the end of the day without too much of a stimulating effect.
They are also useful in public places. In a shop, office, hotel, restaurant or waiting room, offering decaf allows you to cater to a wider range of preferences.
Pointfeatures of Decaffeinated capsules
- An interesting alternative for limiting caffeine.
- A balanced and pleasant cup profile.
- Convenient 18-capsule format for occasional use.
- A good complement to a classic reference like the Classico.
- Suitable for late afternoon coffee or after a meal.
Pointto consider before buying
Decaf coffee is designed for a more specific use than regular coffee. In an office or shared space, it will generally be consumed less than regular coffee. Therefore, it's often best to buy it as a supplement, rather than as your primary coffee.
As with the Classico, machine compatibility must be checked before purchase. Iperespresso Professional capsules are not suitable for all capsule machines.
Classic or Decaffeinated: which capsule to choose?
The choice depends primarily on the intended use. For daily and regular consumption, illy Iperespresso Professionnel Classico Classic Roast 30 capsules are the most versatile choice. They suit most users thanks to their smooth, balanced, and easy-to-enjoy taste.
For occasional consumption or for those who wish to avoid caffeine, illy Iperespresso Professional Decaffeinated capsules (18 capsules) are more suitable. They allow you to enjoy the taste of coffee while reducing your caffeine intake.
In a professional setting, it's often ideal to offer both options. The Classico can serve as the main coffee, while the Decaf provides an alternative for those who need it.
Choose the Classico
The Classico is recommended if you're looking for a primary coffee for a machine used regularly. It's suitable for everyday coffee breaks and spaces where several people use the same machine.
Choose Decaffeinated
Decaf is recommended if you want to offer a caffeine-free alternative. It's ideal as a complement to Classico for the end of the day, with meals, or for users sensitive to caffeine.
Criteria to check before buying
Check the machine's compatibility
Before ordering illy Iperespresso Professional capsules, you must ensure that your machine accepts this format. These capsules are not compatible with Nespresso, Lavazza Blue, Lavazza A Modo Mio, Delta Q, Dolce Gusto, or other similar systems.
Choose according to your taste profile
The Classico is better suited to those who prefer mild and balanced coffees. The Decaf is more appropriate for those who want to limit their caffeine intake while still enjoying an aromatic cup.
Adjust the choice to the consumption volume
For frequent use, the 30-capsule format of Classico is more practical. For occasional use, the 18-capsule format of Decaf may suffice.
Consider the place of use
In an office, shop, or waiting room, Classico will often be the primary choice. In a hotel, restaurant, or customer area, Decaf can be added to offer a more comprehensive selection.
Storage tips
To preserve the quality of the capsules, it is recommended to store them in a dry, clean place away from heat. Avoid direct sunlight, humidity, and significant temperature fluctuations.
Ideally, the capsules should remain in their original packaging until use. This helps preserve the coffee's aromas and maintains better freshness in the cup.
In a professional setting, it is also advisable to regularly monitor stock levels. Since Classico is generally consumed more frequently, it may require more frequent restocking than Decaf.
For what professional use?
In an office setting, Classico Classic Roast capsules are ideal for daily coffee breaks. They offer a simple, mild, and pleasant coffee, suitable for a large number of employees.
In a waiting room or reception area, the Classico makes it easy to offer coffee to visitors. The Decaf can complement the offering for those who prefer to avoid caffeine.
In a hotel or restaurant, both options can be useful. The Classico is suitable for classic espresso, while the Decaf meets specific needs after a meal or at the end of the day.
In a shop or small business, these capsules allow you to offer coffee in a simple way, without complex management of ground coffee or a grinder.
Conclusion: Which illy Iperespresso Professional capsules should I buy?
