illyCoffee, iper Coffee Capsule, Medium Roast Drip Pod, 100% Arabica Bean Signature Italian Blend, Premium Gourmet Roast Brewed, Compatible with Multi Beverage illy iperEspresso Machines (18 ct)

The item is fine, but I bought the wrong thing! My fault, not the coffees. This coffee is really good!

Bought these as they were less than the version in the metal tin. But… the unit is not the same even though it is the Illy brand. I have the Illy Iperpresso and I love it. These pods splatter, coffee doesn’t come out with cream and the coffee is not hot. Meaning I had to microwave it. I notice the pressure drops on these pods but not the “same” pods that come in the tin container. Went back to the tins and works perfect. I included a photo of the “tin”. Use those in whatever flavor you want. No issues.

Makes a great cup of espresso

I usually buy the old, well-behaving metal box of 21 capsules. This is the 3rd time I purchased the new packaging of 18 capsules. The name of the coffee is the same as always (see attached pictures). The first time I received the soft package, at the first use my machine was leaking from all over and around the capsule holder. I descaled the coffee machine, but nothing changed I had to discard the remaining 14 capsules. The next time I ordered the metal box, it worked as usual, a charm. Then I gave another try ( No2) to the soft package, and it worked fine. Now the 3rd set is the same as the first, and I (being a scientist, who does research) studied and compared the capsules from the metal box and the soft package. There is a significant difference. First, the design of the top and bottom surfaces of the capsules are different, not esthetically, but technically. There are significant technical discrepancies, explaining the different behavior. The "novel version has several small holes on the top and missing an extruding part on the bottom, what are the probable cases of severe leaks. See attached pictures. I never had a problem with the soft-packaged Ipespresso capsules for Francis-Francis, when bought in Europe. It is a disappointment with a brand like Illy.

These coffee pods are so easy to use with my illy espresso maker. It's super quick to make espresso for my lattes and very clean to discard. If you have or are planning to get an illy espresso maker, I highly recommend getting a monthly subscription for these pods!

Good product

They work fine in X7.1 Illy espresso machine, you just have to manually stop the brewing process. They brew nice strong coffee, almost like Turkish coffee.

I'm sure you're looking for how the coffee tastes however this is the box I received. It's all damaged and I'm concerned about the quality of the coffee possibly being or open.
