Francesco Illy’s and Achille Gaggia’s technological innovations ushered in espresso’s modern age in the mid 1900s.  Now these two celebrated names in coffee come together to offer a beautifully compact espresso machine that produces pleasure in every cup with minimal effort, time, maintenance and know-how.  

The Gaggia for illy espresso system features quick and simple loading and automatic ejection of illy Iperespresso capsules, each containing the ideal measure of the illy blend: nine highest-order Arabica beans, sourced from four contintents, for a rich, balanced, aromatic espresso.  Choose your favorite, in either black (GXI/01) or iconic illy red (GXI/02).

From two masters, one beautiful espresso: yours.
