Coffee machine: Illy X7.1 iperEspresso Machine - Francis Francis design

All the details

This is a single cup machine that I use this to make expressos. It has a steamer function for cappuccinos/hot chocolate etc. which I have used a couple of times, it seems to work well if you follow the instructions (need to release the heat from the steam wand before it will brew the coffee, make sure the wand is in the jug correctly for frothing etc). The instructions are online and there are videos on YouTube etc showing how to use it. The videos suggest that it can also be programmed to save your preferences - but I've never got around to that! You can buy the Illy capsules in larger supermarkets or online. I use a refillable metal capsule equivalent which I'm including (with tamping tool) as shown in the photo. It also comes with the water reservoir (not shown). The yellow colour is paler than shown in the photo
