Francis Francis Y1.1 (see larger image) Insert capsule One touch simplicity See larger image Two stage extraction process iperEspresso Capsule System Unlike conventional one-stage systems, the iperEspresso capsule system uses a two stage extraction process to create an exceptional, full bodied espresso that bursts with rich aromas. During the first stage, water enters the capsule, saturating the coffee which allows flavors to develop and intensify. In the second stage, the coffee exits through a valve specially designed to enhance the body and aroma while also creating a velvety crema topping. Both stages occur directly inside the capsule never letting the coffee come in contact with the machine, meaning virtually no mess or clean up. Discover your favorite espresso.
