About illy

Frequently Asked Questions
Do illy Classico Lungo capsules work in every Nespresso machine?
No. These aluminum capsules are made for Nespresso Original Line machines, the compact models that take the small capsule, and they do not fit Vertuo machines that use larger barcoded pods. If you are unsure which system you own, check the model name on your machine before ordering.
How do I brew illy Classico Lungo capsules for the best cup?
Insert one capsule and press the lungo button for roughly 3.7 fl oz (110 mL). If you like a lighter, longer drink, you can let the pour run a little further. Skip the 1.35 fl oz espresso setting, because the grind and dose are built for the longer extraction.
What does illy Classico Lungo taste like?
Classico is illy's medium roast, rated intensity 5 of 9. The cup is smooth and velvety with notes of caramel, orange blossom and jasmine. The lungo format stretches those flavors across a bigger serving, which many people prefer as an all-day coffee with or without milk.
Which pack sizes of illy Classico Lungo capsules can I order for an office?
The capsules come as a Single 10 ct box, a Pack of 3, a Pack of 6 or a Pack of 10 boxes. Offices and cafes with a Nespresso Original Line machine can pick a larger pack to keep a shared coffee station supplied between orders.
