One of the most popular coffees both in homes and bars is certainly Illy, immediately recognizable by its characteristic red brand. Forever Illy is a proud ambassador of Italian espresso coffee and precisely because of its respect for tradition it is highly appreciated by consumers who also choose it at home, both ground and in capsules.
Illy has perfected its blends using two capsule systems, Iperespresso and Uno System, without forgetting the ESE compatible pods.
Which Illy Products Are Suitable for Your Machine?
First of all, it is appropriate to make an initial distinction between products that use the technology in pods and those with capsules. These two terms are often used as synonyms when in reality they are profoundly different, despite both being two ways to serve tasty single portions of espresso coffee.
Le waffles they contain 7 grams of ground coffee inside two thin sheets of filter paper and can be used on machines designed specifically for this system or on some (not all) machines for ground coffee, thanks to special adapters. For the pods, a consortium called Easy Serving Espresso which establishes the criteria and production standards in order to facilitate the purchase of consumers. In fact when it comes to compatible pods we refer to all those brands that meet the ESE criteria offering pods compatible with any machine of the same brand.
On the contrary, the capsules they have a rigid and different shape from one manufacturer to another and for this reason they are not interchangeable from one system to another. When we talk about compatible solutions in this case we are referring to producers who do not have their own capsule system and therefore make them in shapes identical to those of their competitors, to offer a valid alternative to consumers.
Illy creates its own blends for ESE pods but also using its two capsule systems Iperespresso and Uno System. If you own an ESE pod machine or a ground coffee machine with a pod adapter, you can easily buy illy products that use this technology. On the contrary, in order to use the Iperespresso and Uno System capsules you must have coffee machines of the corresponding brand.
What are the Best Illy Blends?
After identifying which single portion product line is compatible with the system you have you can begin to evaluate the coffee blends offered by Illy.
For the pods and the Uno System capsules you can opt for three tasty coffee blends: Medium roast, balanced espresso with aromas of chocolate, toasted bread, caramel and floral hints; Dark Roast for an energetic and aromatic coffee, with a strong but intense taste; Decaffeinato, the perfect solution to not give up the classic espresso but without caffeine.
The choice however is wider for the Iperespresso capsules, whose assortment includes different solutions and blends for a different coffee every day. In addition to the more classic blends Dark, Long, Red e Decaffeinato it is in fact possible to opt for a particular collection of 100% Arabica and single origin selections. In fact, you can buy incredible coffee capsules that take their name from the territories from which the best raw materials with which they are made come. Between these Monoarabic are particularly popular Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia e Guatemala.
