Nespresso Pixie vs Francis Francis Y1 single serve espresso machine






Exclusive side by side comparison of Nespresso Pixie vs Francis Francis Y1 single serve espresso machine by www.aromacup.com. About Francis Francis Y1 The Francis Francis Y1 iperEspresso Machine utilizes illy's revolutionary iperEspresso capsule technology to give your home-brewed espresso the freshest, most authentic Italian flavor possible. iperEspresso capsules feature seven grams of illy's perfectly roasted coffee that, when brewed on an iperEspresso machine, are released in a unique, two-stage extraction process, providing the most flavor with the smallest amount of waste. The Francis Francis Y1 uses the iperespresso capsule to extract the coffee, meaning that the machine never comes in contact with coffee, making for the easiest clean up ever. About Nespresso Pixie: The Nespresso Pixie is a fun new way to brew. This single serve espresso machine is sleek and small, but don't think that means this brewer doesn't pack a punch. The Nespresso Pixie is one of the best single-serve espresso machines on the market for making coffeehouse quality espresso. The ability to choose from a variety of fun colors makes this brewer even more enticing for someone who wants something a little different than the standard one-cup coffee maker. The Pixie is available in 6 colors and 2 finishes with a steel handle and aluminum side panels.

    Two more IMPORTANT comparisons: 1) Illy capsules contain 7 grams of coffee, Nespresso capsules have 5 grams. That is a whopping 40% difference in the amount of coffee in your brew. 2) Illy capsules are NOT sealed, so once you open the tin be sure to store the remaining capsules in a dark, tightly sealed container.

    Originally purchased the Citz and sent it back. Purchased the Y1.1 and love it.

    Thanks for the great review. Wish I had seen it before purchasing the Nespresso Citz.

    The new Y1.1 has two touch sensitive (no physical button) timed settings for regular and lungo shots. And, if you get the capsule "Home Delivery" plan you can get the Y1.1 for $155 which is a great savings for the normal price of $325.

    I also noticed that if you open the Illy capsule compartment a bit faster giving the ejector arm a more momentum it will properly discharge the spent capsule.
