A lot of guys are making the switch to making their daily espresso shot at home, rather than keep stuffing dollars into the pockets of a certain large coffee chain. But if your budget or counter space don't allow for a high-priced espresso machine, you can still have that barista-fresh coffee fix at home.

The new Francis Francis Y1 from Illy, creates café-quality Italian espresso from a ridiculously small 9.5-inch square base, with a short 11-inch mini tower - fashioned from tempered glass and brushed aluminum. (And if red doesn't match your decor, you can get it in black too.) Perfect for dorm rooms, studio apartments, and anywhere else you are counter space-challenged.

Plus the Y1 uses the revolutionary iperEspresso capsule system, producing a full-bodied yet remarkably smooth espresso, with velvety crema, at one touch of a button. Just place a capsule inside the mini tower, press start, and enjoy authentic, Italian espresso in just seconds.

And the Y1 can be preordered now at illyusa.com, for just $125 (a $295 value) when purchased with monthly delivery of fresh iperEspresso capsules. And you can ask that cute barista back to your place for some espresso for a change.
