I’m staying at a hotel with one of these in the room but the instructions are for a different machine! Thank heavens y’all made this video. It’s just what we needed.
The best demonstrations of coffee machines on the net! No nonsense and very informative! Well done girls :)
Thanks for the vid! I’m in Japan and have one in my room but had no idea how to use it!
This is the most beautiful capsule machine after the Gran Maestria!
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 zekegz, We're so glad you had a chance to visit our new Alderwood location and meet Gail. :-) The machine featured in this video is the Francis Francis Y1.1. Francis Francis and Illy are the same company and technically speaking illy owns the Francis Francis espresso machine manufacturer, so the machines are referred to as Francis Francis and the coffee is referred to as illy. We (and others) often interchanged the names, so it can be a little confusing. The Francis Francis Y1 is slightly different, because it only offers an on/off button as opposed to the two volume options on the Y1.1, but it is still a pod machine. I hope this answers all of your questions! :-) - Sarah
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. - Kat
Old video, but a good video. Only suggestion I would make, is to use a shot glass so that we can see the crema produced, I find it mesmerizing to watch it pour.
Well, there's a much wider variety of capsules available from Nespresso, but the body of these shots was actually a bit better than I've had on them. Definitely better than an ESE pod IMHO - Kat
Thank you!! Glad you're finding them helpful :) - Kat
I just bought one of these to go with my collection of coffee machines, after seeing your videos, the only coffee channel on youtube that I trust. Thanks again for your Crew Review, Kat and Gail
Ideally, no; sour is indicative of under extraction and bitter is indicative of over extraction. However, some coffees that have naturally more acidity can also have 'sour' notes, depending on your taste buds. A really well pulled shot of espresso is generally smooth and clean, with different flavors depending on the type of bean, origin, processing and roast. - Kat
I don't understand why everything about it is so tiny, but then they add that huge cup warmer that makes it much larger! It looks really sexy though, and those capsules look high tech for some reason!
I like that it could be a serious cup warming / storage situation. - Kat
HEY you guys got the iper's, I take credit for suggesting that! (even if it wasnt me) :)
Me gusta el estilo de los videos y el sentido del humor que tienen. Ya soy fan. Sigan así. :)
We don't have access to that model ... - Kat
Congrats!!! Please let us know what you think of it once you've had the chance to play with it awhile :) - Kat
Hahahaha .... well, we tested them when they first came out and didn't dig 'em, but decided to give them another go after they released their Single Origin coffees ... definitely dig them now! :) - Kat
Muchas gracias!! :) - Kat
Yeah ... but I think this machine is more oriented toward demitasse / shots only so I suspect this was kind of an afterthought ;) - Kat
Thank you, you made this very easy for me!!
I have tried espresso on many occasions. I adore espresso milk drinks but i have never drunk a shot i liked. In a cafe, i had asked for an espresso but when I tasted it it was very sour. It tasted as if i were drinking lemon juice while inhaling the smell of coffee. Other people were drinking it as if it was fine.At a demo I had tried a straight Nespresso Arpeggo that was not nearly as sour but on the bitter side. Is this the way espresso tastes?
Yay! Enjoy it :) - Kat
Nice! My favourite everyday brand! Do they have a pod recycling programme?
are illy's the most expensive capsules on the market? seems like it.
Can I use a different shape of coffee like a DeLuchi one ?
OS X is the best operating system what are you talking about?
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 Francis Francis Illy IperEspresso Y1.1
or a video i watch after this one the FrancisFrancis! X7.1
on a separate note if i wanted a mug of coffee from capusele what would be a great machine Plz
Thank you keep the great videos coming!
(does not need to be part of the same illy capsule family)
+Chris Coles Hello! If you are wanting just a classic cup of coffee, this machine is the one we would recommend: www.seattlecoffeegear.com/francis-francis-y5-duo-iperespresso-and-iper-coffee-capsule-machine This machine allows you to brew more of a drip coffee, while the other ones you mentioned are more designed for a shot of espresso. Cheers!
You know, I haven't done a price compare... - Kat
Looks like a new desktop from Apple -- if you don't like our software, you'll love our coffee!!
It doesn't make sense to me for this illy machine to use capsules... What a bummer to be honest..
where to buy capsules
I love Gale💋❤
love this machine (well the way it looks anyway; haven't tried it) but the adjustable plate for little of big cup/little cup is yuk, it wrecks the design.
Not that I know of - Kat
thaanks for this video i finally made coffee!
Hahahahahahahah awwwww I loved that movie - Kat
Hahaha - Kat
WALL-E!!!!!
These two take so much time gushing and giggling that they wear you out before demonstrating.
Too noisy! Unwatchable!
