TRIESTE, Italy – illycaffè, a global leader in high-quality sustainable coffee, presents the X9 Iperespresso machine, described as a timeless masterpiece of design. With a smart frontal operation and capsule system, the X9 coffee machine is extremely compact, solid and easy to use.
Made from precious materials and a result of a complex production, it involves the use of a 6-cm-long aluminum bar, masterfully transformed into an unprecedented elliptical shape.
Characterised by its small size, it fits any corner of the home or office. The machine is equipped with an electronic card, in-cup lighting during dispensing and controls that allow you to store and select two volumes of espresso, guaranteeing a perfect result in the cup every time.
