Hey thanks for the great video and you both are natural on the camera! Could i ask if it was just about the coffee would you go with FrancisFrancis! X7.1 or a video i watch before this one the Francis Francis Illy IperEspresso Y1.1 on a separate note if i wanted a mug of coffee from capusele what a great machine Plz Thank you keep the great videos coming!

woahh what a nice texture

Is the "alien dude" available in other colors in the USA beside red and black? I have found beautiful colors on ebay - lilac, blue, sunrise, but the are not the proper voltage for USA. Damn Italians!..haha. Any insights? I want a blue one!

Review slightly incorrect. You can actually program the dose by keeping the dosing button depressed. When you have enough you can release the button. Or, as it says, you can stop the dose by pressing the dose button again at any time. Just bought this machine because my aeg amodo broke (3rd machine). Very consistent espresso which is the norm for pods. The only thing I struggle with is the steam wand. It introduces too much air into the milk, so the texture is all wrong. That's why when she poured the milk, it kind of glooped into the cup. You won't get a silk smooth cappuccino like a traditional steam wand. Having said that, if you have never textured milk before, you'll love this as you don't need any skill to use it. Using a porta filter (the handle), is by far the best way to use a pod. You throw it straight into the bin. Most pod machines prefer to catch the pod and store it in some kind if internal waste bin which is something else you have to clean out.

Where can I find the clear glass milk frothing pitcher you used in this video?

Great to see any reference to this machine. I've seen it in various places, but very little information exists regarding it. Thanks, guys!

My wife just happened to wonder into Seattle Coffee Gear yesterday at their new location, coincidentally. I found this video afterwards while doing some research. We met Gail, and she demoed this machine for us. I got hooked on espresso shots when I visited Italy a few times for work a few years back, and have been wanting to get something like this for some time. The only thing is I didn't want the expense and hassle of those bigger more complex machines (however beautiful they are). The crema and taste on this was fantastic! Reminded me of walking up to an espresso bar in Milan and putting down 90 euro cents for a duo espresso. We also demoed the Nespresso Vertuoline since my wife likes a cup of coffee most times anyway, and it makes both shots and drip coffe. I preferred the Illy demoed in this video. The Nespresso as some have commented seemed at lot more bitter, and I wasn't digging the flavor as much as the Illy shown in this video. On another note, isn't the machine in this video the Illy Caffe Y1. I think the Francis Francis is a sexy red (or stainless or black) manual espresso maker, not a pod machine. Did Illy rename it? Either way Gail was super informative, knowledgeable and helpful. Even better, I think she convinced my wife it was time to buy one. I'm sure you can get higher quality and heat with some of the more high end machines, but for the price of this one, it definitely seems worth it if you mostly do espresso shots. I think we might pull the trigger on this shot machine. Pun intended.

Hello Marco! Thank you for your clear video on the Illy X7.1. I recently bought one in Germany and tried using it here in the states and I can't get any coffee to brew. I turn it on, the temperature increases and after itthe little cup light goes on it never goes to the central blue light, it jumps to the red triangle!! Do you know what the problem might be?

hahahaha i do the same cappuccino system in my to go mornings!!! but its not the real way to do a cappuccino.

wich model i need for coffee ground ? i dont want capsule.
