Quality loves details. Mild & Balanced
From crop cultivation to the coffee cup, we seek excellence in every single detail of our process. In collaboration with our most dedicated coffee growers, we select only the 1% of the best Arabica coffee beans, perfecting our process to create the unique illy blend: the ideal balance of nine types of Arabica coffee from more than 30 countries around the world. The 1% is no mere detail, but the cornerstone of a tale of quality and sustainability.
Ground coffee can be brewed in various ways, from Espresso to Americano. Each time it is a unique aroma and experience.
Espresso as multi-sensory awakening
A delightful espresso: the eyes sense it first. Thick, unbroken hazelnut-hued crema – that light-brown layer on top – painted by tiger stripes, darker brown. Next, aromas bring a sweet and complex tease, full with notes of chocolate, toast, honey and caramel. Telling taste: "Here is something special." Finally, the sip. Sweet, velvety, full bodied – a passing hint of bitter: here, then gone.
Singular Sensational
We could offer you every region, roast and blend under the sun. But we’d rather give you the perfect one. So we’ve spent eight decades refining a singular, signature blend - celebrated the world over as the pinnacle of what coffee can be.
The nuanced taste of CLASSICO from illy’s unique, 100% Arabica blend offers delicate notes of caramel, orange blossom and jasmine, with a sweet aftertaste. For those who prefer a cup of coffee with a smooth, velvety taste.
