Superb Illy Coffee everytime

Neil Davis - 27th July 2015

I bought this earlier in the year after seeing that Illy did a coffee pod system on a TV programme as this is my favourite coffee, rather than the planned purchase of a Nespresso system. I have to say that I have not been dissapointed, the Frances Frances built machine makes perfect italian coffee everytime. It also is well made, nice to touch and looks great on the kitchen counter.

I bought this to replace an existing coffee machine which used loose coffee as I found this gave inconsistent results, depended heavily on the brand and ground size of the coffee, and it's worst feature was a milk system with a plastic nozzle that cross threaded easily making cleaning a nightmare.

The Illy system is better in everyway, the machine is fast to heat up, creates the right amount of coffee at a single press of a button, the milk frother creates nice foam and there is no cleaning to talk of. For example the Illy nozzle simply pulls off, comes apart in to two pieces, and then you rinse through with warm soapy water.

The whole system is so fast and so easy to use that I haven't drunk instant coffee at home in months now.

The machine came with test pods for the Dark (Black) and normal (Red) blends, however after testing a few we found that the Longo (Blue) pods give probably the nicest coffee for a latte. We found the best deal for the coffee was to buy online from the local illy distributor as many of the other sources whilst looking cheaper charge a huge amount for postage making the price per pod overall higher.

I recommend the purchase of a small milk jug of less then 500ml, as the 500ml one I bought is a bit too deep for the nozzle, and a thermometer as judging milk heating by time gave patchy results where as the thermometer means the right temperature everytime.

I hope more and more people find and buy these machines, they are superb.


Tasty coffee Machine

New machine to replace the same model now 5 years old and leaking. Very pleased.

WillyT - 27th July 2015

Beautiful looking machine (if you like ET); beautiful tasting coffee (if you can stomach the price); the crema is creme de la creme; can be a bit temperamental sometimes (hey, it's Italian - but made in China of course). Just remember to use hot cups (I fill mine with boiling water from my Alessi kettle -oh, name dropper!) whilst Franny is firing up. Grazie mille, Illy.

Just fabulous

amandapolly - 27th July 2015

This is the best espresso I have ever had, apart from in a little bar just off st marks square. It makes beautiful coffee, is simple to use and looks great in the kitchen. The coffee choices are good and I just wish I had found it earlier. I can't say enough good things about this product.

bon achat fonctionne bien

Très bon pour une machine à capsules

R. Batten - 27th July 2015

Je ai une machine assez décent à la maison et je suis cela avec quelques collègues de travail pour le bureau.
Avant que je me sers d'un modo mio lavazza qui était bon (je vous conseille -4stars) et je l'ai essayé Nesspresso quelques fois (assez pour savoir que je préfère vrai café).

La disponibilité à café à dosettes est la plus grande préoccupation, mais il améliore - surtout quand vous pouvez utiliser Coffeeitalia.co.uk etc.
La variété de café disponible est décent et je voudrais encourager les gens à essayer tout ce qui illy produits pour trouver ce qui est le plus satisfaisant.

Mon favori actuel est le café brésilien de leur gamme de l'origine unique.
Je souhaite juste que Coffeeitalia.co.uk serait stocker toute la gamme au lieu de devoir acheter ailleurs.

excellent

Viel besser als Nespresso

DannyInverness - 27th July 2015

Viel besser als Nespresso ist Geschmack besser, keiner der 600 Sorten von mehreren farbigen Kapseln, die allen schmecken genau dasselbe. Es ist sehr leicht zu reinigen und wenn Sie den Geschmack, aber keine Summen wollen, die entkoffeinierten Kaffee schmeckt mindestens genauso schön wie der regulären. Der einzige wirkliche Nachteil ist, dass die Kapseln sind ein wenig teurer, und Sie müssen noch eine Weile warten, wenn Sie einen anderen Kaffee zu machen, nachdem Sie den Dampfer verwenden möchten. Ansonsten perfekt.

Quatre années heureuses de café chic

S. R. George "Simon George" - 27th July 2015

Je l'utilise une machine à expresso £ 3500 dans mon entreprise avec une qualité supérieure, du café fraîchement moulu. A la maison, je l'utilise le X7. Je bois de meilleurs expresso à la maison. L'amour de la gamme de dosettes, y compris les variations de monoarabica, qui sont disponibles à partir de EspressoCrazy. Oui, la buse de vapeur est un peu limitatif, mais je adorer cette machine - et ont eu pour près de 4 ans sans aucun problème.

jusqu'ici tout va bien. Il est vraiment facile à utiliser et à nettoyer

Racfry - 27th July 2015

Nous avons acheté cette machine à café à Noël comme il est bien noté par les réviseurs qui, jusqu'ici tout va bien. Il est vraiment facile à utiliser et à nettoyer, café de bonne qualité. Je recommande que vous achetez en ligne les capsules en vrac comme meilleure valeur (et je ne l'avez pas été en mesure de trouver tout près de moi dans les supermarchés)

Parfait.

Ruth C - 27th July 2015

Ceci est le meilleur achat que je l'ai fait dans un temps long ... un café parfait et regarde le travail stunning.a de l'art.
Si prompts à chauffer up..I ont aucun problème pour les capsules, certainement en avoir pour mon argent hors de lui ... aimer ...


Grande Cafetière

bluestar2205 - 27th July 2015

Si vous êtes un amateur de café, ceci est une grande machine à café pour vos besoins quotidiens. Seuls les dosettes de café Illy peuvent être utilisés avec ce produit. Donne une tasse parfaite de expresso ou un cappuccino au bout de vos doigts.

Francis Francis X7.1

M "Mags" - 27th July 2015

Maschine macht ausgezeichneten Kaffee. Achten Sie darauf, einige Kapseln bestellen, wenn Kauf dieses als kostenlose Proben einfach in die Box zu bekommen sind veraltet. Würde dieses 5 Sterne gegeben, wenn es nicht für veraltet Proben

can't agree with other reviewer - great machine

Helena Handcart "Helena Handcart" - 27th July 2015

I can't agree with your other reviewer, who I'm guessing is a bit of a coffee obsessive/barista (and nothing wrong with that) - in my experience, the X7.1 delivers great coffee, every time.

It uses capsules so it's aimed at the occasional domestic user who wants fresh coffee on demand (rather than opening a can of ground coffee, taking a while to use it up and having it go past its best).

The time to switch from normal coffee mode to "ready to steam milk" for cappuccino seems to be a feature of all domestic machines as (unlike professional machines) they all use the same boiler for both temperatures. I've not found the time delay an issue on the X7.1 as there is an automated function to vent steam & return from steaming to coffee making temperature in a few seconds (it's in the manual).

Overall, for convenience, space-race looks and (most importantly) great tasting coffee I would recommend this machine. If, like the other reviewer, you're aiming to be a barista and dive into the world of different roasts, grinds, milk frothing methods and so on, then you will want to look for a machine which uses ground coffee.

Enjoy unparalleled Italian espresso and cappuccino with iperEspresso, the capsule system that lets you prepare café-quality espresso at home with the touch of a button.

Unlike conventional one-stage systems, the iperEspresso capsule system uses an innovative, patented two-stage process to create intensely aromatic, full-bodied espresso with rich, long-lasting crema.
