illy's popular Y3 coffee and espresso capsule machine line has a new addition: the Y3.3. Beloved for its extremely small size, gorgeous minimal and stylish design, ease of use and classic illy iperespresso coffee capsules, this new model has been eagerly awaited and is already gaining popularity. The line comes in White, Blue and Red, further adding to the modern look of the machine.

If you're a fan of the line, you may notice it looks nearly identical to the Y3.2, the previous model in the line, so you may be wondering: what's new?

The main change between the new Y3.3 and the Y3.2 is the power button. On the Y3.2, the power button was a standard looking switch on the left hand side towards the back and bottom of the machine. It was nicely hidden but arguably quite inaccessible, especially if you planned on utilizing the machine's small size to fit it into a tight space or on tiny counter.

The Y3.3 has eliminated the separate power button altogether and has incorporated the power function into the 2 brew buttons on the front of the machine, further streamlining the ease and use of this beautifully simple machine. Now to turn on the machine, simply push the espresso button for 2 seconds; to turn it off, hold both buttons for 2 seconds.

With this new power function, you can easily operate the machine in even the tightest situations without having to pull the machine out every time. Of course, you'll still have to access the back of the machine semi-frequently to refill the water tank, but in such a small machine (one of the smallest on the market), not everything can be immediately accessible. This change in the Y3.3 may be small but its a smart and user friendly move that makes this machine even better in tiny spaces. Dorm rooms, bachelor apartments, small kitchens, offices; there is no space too small or too regular sized for the new illy Y3.3.
