The Illy X▪CAPS capsules bring Illy's unmistakable 100% Arabica blend into the newest system devised by the Trieste roaster, engineered to pull an espresso that always tastes true to itself. This category holds a compact yet complete line-up: four roast profiles spanning the full taste spectrum, from the gentlest balance to the boldest character, all roasted in Italy and crowned with a velvety, persistent crema cup after cup.
The Illy X-Caps range
- Classico — a smooth, balanced espresso with notes of caramel, orange blossom and light chocolate, in a pack of 10 capsules.
- Intenso — full-bodied and decisive, with hints of cocoa and dried fruit, in a pack of 10 capsules.
- Forte — rich and intense, echoing dark chocolate and toasted bread, in a pack of 10 capsules.
- Decaffeinato — soft and aromatic, with caramel, chocolate and delicate floral notes, and caffeine below 0.1%, in a pack of 30 capsules.
Every reference carries the signature of Illy and the same 100% Arabica blend that made the brand famous around the world.
Which roast to choose
If you want a coffee to sip all day long, Classico is the natural starting point — measured and never tiring. Those after more body will find their cup in Intenso, while Forte suits anyone who prefers a full, vigorous espresso, perfect first thing in the morning. Decaffeinato keeps its aroma and roundness with no compromise, making it the right call for the evening or whenever you cut down on caffeine. Three of the four references are flagged as new arrivals, a sign of how fresh this system still is in the Illy catalogue.
Formats and system
Classico, Intenso and Forte come in boxes of 10 capsules, while Decaffeinato is offered in a more generous pack of 30 — handy for anyone who reaches for it often. All the capsules are made for the Illy X▪CAPS system, designed to preserve aroma and freshness right up to extraction and to guarantee consistent quality in every cup.
