Review on ☕️ Illy Y3.3 Espresso and Coffee Machine (Black) - Enhanced Size: 12.20x3.9x10.40 by Bernard Larjin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great little espresso machine

I have an espresso machine but want to change up a few flavors so this is a good option. It's the same price and size as my Nespresso machine, but there are a few things I like more about this machine. First, I can't quickly make a cup of hot water with a Nespresso coffee machine because of the design. If you don't put a capsule in, the water will go straight into the used capsule container and not your mug. I don't have a problem with that. It's really easy to get a good cup of hot tea. Second, the water tank has a removable lid, so I don't have to remove the whole tank to add more water every time. The white car is also very aesthetic. This machine has some disadvantages, mainly environmental. Illy capsules are recyclable, but the recycling kit is $15 and you have to buy it on their website. Nespresso recycles their pods for free, and the pods are aluminum, so I think they're better than the plastic pods Illy uses. Nespresso also has a larger selection of coffees. That being said, I absolutely don't think you need two pod coffee makers, but I can't decide which one I like better either. I would say go illy if you drink both coffee and tea and Nespresso if you only drink coffee.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Repair
