Small footprint is kind to limited counter space. Am using this several months for single shot espressos and Loungo espressos. Very reliable. The aroma, the quality of the cream, the overall consistency of the liquid excellent. Review: You won't mistake this for a true Italian coffee - It's difficult to separate the machine from the coffee because, essentially, buying this machine means you are committed to only ever drinking Illy coffee. I'll try to give comments on both the coffee and the machine. The machine: It's a showpiece for sure. It's heavy, nice quality and seems to justify its price. I've only had it for a couple weeks so I can't comment on durability. That being said, you do sacrifice some function for the sake of form. As others have said, the water tank is limited and the used pod tray fills fast. Not only does it fill fast, but if you wait until it's completely full, it can jam and be hard to wiggle out. The cup warmer is a novelty and really doesn't do much unless you leave the machine on and use it constantly throughout the day. The coffee: This is where I was most let down. I have tried Nespresso, Keurig, Dolce Gusto and now Illy (in addition to trying a conventional espresso machine). I travel to Italy twice a year and spend a total of 4-6 weeks there and I keep trying to reproduce the coffee at home. It seems like I'm chasing an unattainable dream at this point. I bought EVERY SINGLE POD that Illy sells in the US: the dark, medium and lungo. I bought all the monoarabica pods: India, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Colombia, Costa Rica and Brazil. I tried them as lungo and ristretto; I played with the water levels and used bottled water. Nothing I could do could make me like this coffee with the exception of actually adding cream and sugar: a huge NO NO for espresso! The problem is that they all, in varying levels, have a sourness and unacceptable acidity. The dark roast is probably the closest to drinkable out of them all. I have the same issue with Nespresso: sour sour sour.... blah! Obviously taste is subjective and for some people this may be delicious. Then again, some people find Keurig heaven-on-earth and I think it's absolutely disgusting (no matter which pod). Admittedly I have set a high bar, but for this kind of money (not just the machine, but the cost of pods), I really expected more. A note about the pods... Illy brags about their two stage process for brewing, but I've found that this works maybe 60% of the time. The result is sometimes you get more or less water depending on the quality of manufacture of the pod. Sometimes the pressure releases too early and too much water comes out and sometimes the pressure valve doesn't break at all until the second stage and you get less coffee in the cup and the taste is off. I'm afraid that I will have to return this machine and continue my quest for the perfect espresso. ## Features - Single serve Espresso machines uses Illy iperEspresso Capsules - Aluminum body with tempered glass cup-warming plate - 2 Programmable cup volume settings - Volume Auto-Stop - Power-saver mode and auto-decalcification program ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007X4MR6G | | Brand | illy | | Coffee Input Type | Capsules | | Coffee Maker Type | Espresso Machine | | Color | Red | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (51) | | Date First Available | October 4, 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08027785020162 | | Included Components | Milk Frother | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | Yes | | Is Dishwasher Safe | No | | Item Weight | 11.02 pounds | | Item model number | Y1.1 216623 | | Manufacturer | Illy Caffe North America, Inc. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Fully Automatic | | Power Source | Internal Battery | | Product Dimensions | 4"D x 5"W x 6"H | | Special Feature | Programmable | | Specific Uses For Product | Espresso, Lungo | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 411378245267 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** illy - **Capacity:** 7 Liters - **Color:** Red - **Product Dimensions:** 4"D x 5"W x 6"H - **Special Feature:** Programmable ## Images ![Illy Caffe Y1.1 216623 Touch Espresso Machine, Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lEzsfluFL.jpg) ![Illy Caffe Y1.1 216623 Touch Espresso Machine, Red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81i2pZgZtpL.jpg) ![Illy Caffe Y1.1 216623 Touch Espresso Machine, Red - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cJyQ+-imL.jpg) ![Illy Caffe Y1.1 216623 Touch Espresso Machine, Red - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ko08D7r9L.jpg) ![Illy Caffe Y1.1 216623 Touch Espresso Machine, Red - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513uwZ7cF2L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hola Looks like the picture is not the correct one of the model, can you confirmed. The Y1.1 has not a bottom has two sensors to chose size of coffee.** A: Hi Clira,The current image shown on Amazon is incorrect. The Y1.1 that we carry does feature the two sensors to choose coffee size. **Q: Is this machine 110-240 V? Thanks** A: it is 110v. They may make a 240 model, but this particular one is not. Given the high energy pull of an espresso machine, I would strongly advise finding a 240, and not getting a step-down convertor. **Q: how do i use this machine?** A: Place a small tea cup under tower, remove water tray on right side, fill with water to line place tray back in, turn on switch at back left. Lift front Crome piece on tower, place Espresso pod in, close Crome piece down and touch little picture of coffee cup on front left corner of the black surface after you hear a chime. I find this unit simple to use and Espresso is fantastic! **Q: how do i use it** A: Similar to using a keurig machine. Open top lever and drop the pod in then close. Fill the water tank. Turn on power switch in back. Press small or large coffee mug symbols to start. And put mug under pod! : ) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dream machine *by L***A on January 1, 2014* The best home espresso machine at any price. So easy to use and maintain.

Piece of JUNK. *by S***A on August 1, 2014* This item broke 22 days after the return policy expired. I'm so disappointed in this product. Before it broke, I was not that happy with it. I love Illy coffee, but I did not like how wasteful they were with the plastic packaging of the pods and the large tins. The machine itself is a decent size that doesn't take up too much counter space, but therein lies the problem. We were constantly filling up the water reservoir and emptying the large plastic pods. The machine would only dispense a small amount of espresso, so we were also having to use two pods for a decent sized drink. The machine was an expense and then the pods were getting expensive with the need for two at a time. I regret buying this machine and advise others against it, too. It was an expensive mistake! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/768374-illy-caffe-y1-1-216623-touch-espresso-machine-red](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/768374-illy-caffe-y1-1-216623-touch-espresso-machine-red) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
