The Francis Francis X7 iperEspresso coffee machine is very elegantly designed and extremely convenient to use. This machine uses the illy iperEspresso capsules. The patented capsules by illy basically work like other systems such as the Nespresso capsule system or the Caffitaly system. The ground coffee comes is a pre-prepared dose inside a capsule. The capsule is then inserted into the machine and with one click of a button you get the perfect espresso. With the iperEspresso system, the espresso is ejected directly in the cup, without any contact with the machine, resulting in minimum cleanup and maintenance.

The Nespresso system is a popular capsule system developed by Nespresso.

Nespresso promises a high quality flavor when they limit the expiration date of a Nespresso capsule to up to 9 months from the roasting stage.

As usual, Krups and Magimix manufacture similar machines for the Nespresso capsule system. In other countries those same machines are simply branded as Nespresso brand models.

Capsule System

Coffee Capsules

Capsule systems for making coffee are a newer method than the traditional coffee handle machines, and are well fitted for home or small office uses. They offer a simpler, cleaner way for producing quality espresso and other coffee and tea beverages. Essentially, capsules which contain premeasured amount of sealed ground coffee are inserted in the compatible capsule system machines. The machines then pierce the top part of the capsule to allow the water to flow through. Following that, hot water is forced through the capsule with high pressure, extracting the beverage to the cup. Each capsule is used once and then disposed of.

Caffitaly

The Caffitaly System (or Caffita System) is one of the capsule systems for brewing coffee beverages such as espresso, and other beverages as tea. In order to use capsules of the Caffitaly system one has to use the dedicated coffee machines designed for those capsules. The system was developed by the Italian company Gaggia.

Gaggia is also a coffee machine making company, so naturally Gaggia machines, such as the Gaggia Caffitaly K111D home coffee maker are compatible with the system. However, other machine makers such as Saceo with their Saceo Office machine are also compatible.
