From cultivation to the cup of coffee, we strive for perfection down to the smallest detail. In close collaboration with the most dedicated coffee farmers, we select only the best 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans worldwide. In this way, we perfect our process to create the unique illy Blend: the ideal balance of nine Arabica coffee varieties from over 30 countries around the world. The best 1% is not just a small detail, but the foundation for a story of quality and sustainability. Perfectly balanced between acidity and bitterness. With its characteristic bitter note and balanced body, the INTENSO roast of the unique illy Blend made from 100% Arabica is ideal for anyone who loves a rich, full-bodied taste. The ESE coffee pad system is practical, simple and clean: the machine works with single portions in which the coffee is enclosed in two sheets of filter paper.
