Illy Ground Coffee Espresso - 100% Arabica Coffee

For over eight decades, illy has dedicated itself to the pursuit of perfecting the art of coffee, with the unwavering dream of offering the world's finest coffee since 1933. Through meticulous research, innovative processing, and a deep commitment to sustainability, illy has developed a distinctive blend of Arabica coffee that is celebrated globally as the pinnacle of espresso.

At the heart of illy's coffee-making process is the careful selection of the top 1% of Arabica coffee beans, cultivated by farmers in over 30 countries who share illy's values of quality and sustainability. illy has forged lasting relationships with these growers, working together to nurture a virtuous circle that not only delivers exceptional coffee but also promotes socio-economic development for the producers.

The journey to achieve the perfect cup of illy coffee is an ongoing exploration of raw materials and experimentation. After the beans are processed, they undergo a rigorous selection process to ensure zero defects – even a single imperfect Arabica bean can compromise the aroma of the blend. To preserve and enhance the rich, aromatic profile of the coffee, illy utilizes a patented pressurization system, first introduced in 1934, which replaces the air in the tin with an inert gas at a pressure higher than the atmosphere, locking in the freshness and elevating the distinctive aroma.

The result of illy's meticulous attention to detail is a finely balanced, medium-bodied coffee with notes of caramel, orange blossom, and jasmine. This signature blend, crafted with the finest Arabica beans from around the world, allows coffee enthusiasts to enjoy a classic Italian beverage in the comfort of their own homes, with the ease of freshly prepared, immediately enjoyable coffee.

Sustainability is a core tenet of illy's philosophy, and the company takes pride in its constant focus on environmental stewardship and community well-being. As part of a global movement towards a better, more livable, and more enlightened world, illy is committed to paving the way for a brighter future, one cup of exceptional coffee at a time.
