## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma.  To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results.We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced.  To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone ever compared the quality of coffee between the iperEspresso and Nespresso machines?**
A: If you are looking for an Italian espresso experience, iperEspresso is much better. Nespresso is weaker, and you can taste the difference if you drink pure espresso. A standard single espresso shot is 7-8 grams of coffee and 30 ml of water. iperEspresso capsule contains 7 grams of coffee, Nespresso is 5/6 grams. Also, a default setting on Nespresso machines is 40 ml of water for a single shot, iperEspresso will make a correct 30 ml shot out of the box. The length of shot can be adjusted, but you can't change the quantity of coffee inside the capsule. The quality and reputation of illy coffee is well known. You can buy the whole beans, they serve illy in many cafes and restaurants, even in Italy. The coffee in capsule is the same that is prepared by professional baristas and served in cafes and restaurants. There is even a professional version of iperEspresso capsule machines that sometimes you can see in Europe. I've never seen Nespresso served in cafes, I even never seen whole bean Nestle coffee. Also, illy doesn't buy their coffee at the market but from company trained farmers in different regions.

**Q: Will these work in a nespresso machine? Or illy only?**
A: Illy only

**Q: The item best by mm/yy?**
A: They come sealed in a canister and the capsules themselves are sealed so freshness has never been an issue for me.

**Q: any coffee machine is fit for this capsules?**
A: No Jehee . . . These capsules are made by Illy and they are shaped specifically to fit the Illy iperesso machines.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderfully addicting espresso
*by S***L on January 3, 2011*

This is a warning: A love for good espresso is an expensive habit!!!I've been making my own espresso at home for 20 years. Every morning I would grind the beans, measure and tamp them into the filter, add water, steam my milk, and then wash the entire machine and repeat. I have to wake up early because this is a time consuming process. I've tried other pod machines, and they just don't make a good cup of espresso.I recently began using the illy Francis Francis Y1 with iperEspresso capsules, and the result is better than my manual method, and takes a little over a minute a cup.Generally, I take my cappuccino cup and heat an ounce of milk in the microwave for 30 seconds, use a hand frother for just a few seconds, press the button on the Y1, and in about 20 seconds it brews a 1 or 2 ounce shot of perfect espresso (you have to depress the button when you think it is finished - there is no auto shutoff). Wham, bam, done!As far as I know, the iperEspresso system is the only "pod" that comes close to a real cup of espresso with crema. And this crema is really a thing of beauty. If you don't know what I'm talking about, try it once and you'll understand. As someone who likes strong coffee, the dark roast is almost not strong enough, but the flavor is so well balanced. It's the perfect blend of bitter and sweet with a body worth savoring.This isn't cheap, and it's more wasteful than grinding your own beans. So take that into consideration. But, I've only had espresso this good in Italy. Constant trips to Italy would be very wasteful and expensive, so that's my barely rational justification.I'd also like to share that the Y1 seems to be the most affordable offering in illy's line of iperEspresso systems. It retails for $295, but illy offers a promotion where you can buy the Y1 for $125 when you order a minimum of 2 canisters (21 count) through illy's website (illyusa.com). There are no other requirements to fulfill. So the machine and the coffee adds up to less than the cost of the machine itself. I took advantage of this deal and I couldn't be happier.This coffee will put a new spin on your day. Not to sound too cheesy, but I can't wait to wake up each morning and enjoy my first cup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent flavor, but you pay for it.
*by V***N on May 24, 2012*

Everyone complaining about the price should really take a walk to a coffee store or caffe. Coffee has risen in price the past couple years. Add to that the euro and you'll know why these capsules are more money.BTW, currently Amazon has a 6 pack of canes for 89.99. That's free shipping and comes out to $14.99 which is what the cans costed when they initially rolled out the iperEspresso system.I have been using the black can for some time now. Do not even consider buying the red, medium, roast. This dark roast is exactly what espresso should be like, dark and bold and delicious. The crema produced from this coffee is very very good. sugar will sometimes just sit on the top, as a proper espresso should.My review is for the black top can, which is my favorite one.I have also tried the red, blue and green. I've already given my impression on the red, it's so-so. The blue top can is for luongo(long) shots. These are excellent for making an Americano. Use two of these pods plus very hot water(6-8ozs) and you'll have an absolutely delicious Americano coffee.The green top cans are decaf and I am not a big fan of decaf but they are decent. I always have a can around for when guests like to have a decaf espresso.So each espresso will cost you 95 cents. While that is a pretty hefty price, you are getting caffe quality espresso, which would run you about $2 in any coffee shop. It's a lifestyle choice, you could always get a stove top macchinetta from Bialetti and make espresso that way but you will never ever achieve the quality and crema like these illy capsules produce.Enjoy your coffee everyone!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, easy espresso!
*by A***N on August 12, 2017*

I love my Illu espresso maker and pods! The simplest way to make great, Italian espresso. It even creates the yummy crema on top! (The creamy frothy goodness on top of only well made espressos). Take from me an Italian girl. We love our espresso. In Italy, we only go to cafes that have the Illy sign out front. The best! Replacing the pods isn't cheap but if you can afford Starbucks it's cheaper than that for sure! Pair it with a legit milk frother and you have awesome cappuccinos as well. Oh and this is for sure the best flavor (black/bold). We tried the blue one because it was cheap and it wasn't good.
