iperEspresso is a single-serve capsule system for preparing espresso coffee and espresso-based drinks, developed and patented [1] by Illy.
Capsules
iperEspresso capsules contain a complete extraction group that replaces the traditional percolation process with a two-stage extraction. In the first stage, iper-infusion, hot water under pressure creates conditions that bring out coffee flavor and aroma. In the second stage, emulsification, the iper-infusion is forced through the valve at the bottom of the capsule, by mixing the aromatic oils with air to produce cream. [2]
iperEspresso capsules are manufactured only by Illy. The cost per serving is 10% higher than Illy E.S.E pods, and twice higher than Illy ground or whole bean non-encapsulated coffee. Each capsule contains approximately 7 grams of coffee.
Illy offers three roast variations: normal, dark roast, and decaffeinated. It also offers Lungo, medium roast capsules that produce a longer (higher proportion of water) espresso, and the Monoarabica line, single-origin Arabica beans from six countries: Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Colombia, Costa Rica, and India. Seasonally, the company offers Idillyum, a low-caffeine Arabica grown in El Salvador.
Machines
iperEspresso capsules require special espresso machines, which are manufactured by Francis Francis (a subsidiary of Illy), Gaggia ( Saeco), and Cuisinart ( Conair).
In addition to home espresso machines, Illy offers professional Francis Francis X7.1 iperEspresso machines for hotels and restaurants.
