Making Coffee With Illy Espresso Pods

Many people prefer to purchase illy coffee beans in tins of either whole or ground beans for preparation in traditional coffee makers. However, for those who have a single-serve espresso machine that can create one cup of espresso at a time in the comfort of their own homes, a different denomination of coffee may be more suitable. Luckily, illy coffee is available in two versions specifically for use in at-home espresso machines.

ESE, or "easy serving espresso" is how illy espresso pods are commonly referred to. These pods can be used in any espresso machine that is capable of using pods. Each pod is filled with 7 grams of ground coffee so that you know each cup of espresso will have been made with the perfect amount of coffee as determined by the experts at illy. It only takes 30 seconds to create a cup of espresso when using an ESE pod. Illy's "perfect blend" is utilized for the espresso pods, which are available in three roasts: dark, medium, and decaffeinated. Those who are familiar with illy's product line know that the blends are differentiated with three "theme" colors. Medium roast always features red packaging, dark roast has black packaging, and decaffeinated is identified by a green lid.

Illy also offers iperEspresso coffee capsules that can be used in single-serving espresso machines. Instead of percolating the coffee, an extremely unique two-step extraction process is used to create a velvety, flavorful cup of espresso. Iper-infusion is the first step of the process; the coffee's flavor and aroma is extracted and hot water is pressurized. In the second step, emulsification, the coffee is pushed through a valve that is located at the bottom of the iperEspresso capsule. The result is a cup of espresso like no other. Since the coffee is enclosed in the capsule, no coffee ever touches the espresso machine, which allows for easy cleanup and lack of oil buildup inside of the machine. Illy's iperEspresso capsules are available in dark, medium, and decaffeinated roasts.
