The patented Illy iperEspresso Lungo Capsules use a two-step extraction process to deliver fresh, great tasting drinks. Each capsule has been carefully measured, ground and packaged to brew a long espresso (approximately 2 ounces). Illy iperEspresso Lungo Capsules have a rich medium roast and are compatible with the Gaggia for Illy Plus and FrancisFrancis! X7. The can contains 21 Lungo capsules.
I was wondering if I have to change the settings on my Illy Gaggia Machine for this product to get a 2oz pull? It only brews 1oz just like all the other cartridges and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if my machine is defective. Thanks!

The product description says it's for the francis francis x7 machine, but the picture looks exactly like the ones for the x8 machine. Is it so? - can this be used with the x8? same for the other cans of illy pods listed (dark. medium roast etc) - are they the same as the pods for the x8? thanks.

Michael Rosso ♦ Emily...Thanks for your interest in the Illy iper Espresso Lungo capsules. You will be able to use these capsules in your Francis Francis X8, and not the Illy pods. Thanks.
mjackson ♦ Brian,
You can brew a longer shot but in order to make a ten ounce coffee you will actually want to make an americano by adding hot water the the Lungo shot. It then will make a pretty good cup of coffee.

mjackson ♦ Kathy,
You can change the volume of espresso that is brewed. Then you can set it for 2 ounces. Here is a video to watch that will help you. http://www.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia/gaggia_for_illy.cfm
