I recently joined auto delivery program and received illy X7.1.  We had Nespresso machine for years and love the quick and easy way to enjoy espresso and americano.  Friend of mine recommended Illy, so when I saw the auto delivery promotion with complementary machine, I ordered and was quite surprised how much better it tasted!  Coffee tasted and smelled far better, and I especially love the steaming milk feature.  I had a separate nespresso milk frother which made foam but never gets hot and pain to wash the whole thing after each use.  I just stopped making lattes and cappuccinos.  But with X7.1 it is just so easy and always make hot drinks!  Absolutely love it!!
