NEW! Francis Francis Y1.1 iperEspresso Machine
Enjoy the rich, smooth taste of illy espresso at home with the all new Francis Francis Y1.1 iperEspresso machine. Simply insert an iperEspresso capsule, touch the icon for regular or a double shot of espresso, and the machine will automatically stop brewing at your desired amount. The result is a full-bodied espresso with long-lasting crema. The automatic energy saving mode will turn off the machine after 60 minutes of inactivity. The Y1.1’s aluminum body, tempered glass cup holder and compact silhouette make it a perfect fit in any kitchen.
Unlike conventional one-stage systems, the iperEspresso method uses an innovative, patented two-stage process and because extraction takes place entirely inside the capsule, the coffee and machine never come in contact, making for easy clean up. Capsules sold separately.
Also, available with recurring coffee capsule deliveries for only $155.

A REVOLUTION IN TASTE AND TECHNOLOGY
illy iperEspresso is a revolutionary innovation in the world of coffee that lets you prepare extraordinary espresso and cappuccino at home with ease and simplicity. Protected by five international patents, the heart of iperEspresso is its proprietary capsule with the unique iperChamber™ where illy coffee extraction takes place in two stages. In the first stage, hyper-infusion, hot water under ultra-high pressure mixes with the coffee under optimal conditions to enhance extraction of precious flavors and aromas, creating a richly complex flavor. In the second stage, emulsification, coffee is forced through the patented e-valve™ at the bottom of the capsule, mixing the aromatic oils with air to produce a full-bodied espresso and a thick, long-lasting velvety crema.
Capsules contain approximately seven grams of perfectly roasted and expertly ground and tamped 100% Arabica illy coffee. Available in medium roast for a sweet, balanced, pleasantly nuanced flavor, dark roast for a more intense and robust flavor and decaffeinated.
UNCOMPROMISING FUSION OF FUNCTION AND FORM
iperEspresso capsules work exclusively with the Francis Francis X7, Y1, and X8 iperEspresso machines, designed by Italian architect and designer Luca Trazzi. These striking machines are not only stunning icons of Italian design, they’re also extremely easy to use, allowing anyone to prepare authentic Italian espresso and cappuccino with one-touch convenience.
And because coffee extraction takes place entirely within the patented iperEspresso capsule, there is absolutely no contact between coffee and the machine; the machine itself stays perfectly clean, and the quality and purity of every cup is guaranteed.
ITALIAN DESIGN MEETS STATE-OF-THE-ART PERFORMANCE
Beautiful and well-made, Francis Francis espresso machines are a true marriage of striking Italian design and state-of-the-art technical innovation, crafted for the sole purpose of creating the perfect espresso experience in the home. It goes without saying that the finest home espresso requires a machine of the highest-quality, but at illy, we believe technical perfection alone is not enough: it takes a machine that is also visually stunning to fully indulge all the senses and enjoy the ultimate beauty of the espresso moment.
Francis espresso machines for the home are designed by Italian architect Luca Trazzi and are a favorite among consumers who appreciate their stylish design and superior performance. The fittings are bronze and the pipes are made of plastic materials specially designed to resist high pressures. The pumps guarantee the optimal pressure for espresso while brass boilers ensure excellent thermal stability and an ideal temperature curve.
Wired magazine has described the Francis Francis design as “retro-futuristic”: an object that tells a story, evokes a culture, lights up a room with color and echoes the round shapes of life and the world.
