Visually: Expect a coffee topped with a beautiful hazelnut-coloured crema.
On the palate: Discover a richly flavoured coffee with hints of chocolate and toast. Thanks to its long finish, a light bitterness emerges, which is very pleasant. In short, get ready for a deep, full-bodied coffee!
Drink it at any time of day, preferably at the end of a meal. Its lively character will give you a boost if you're feeling less active.
ILLY, the Italian coffee par excellence
Who hasn't heard of the ILLY brand or its famous pods? Nobody, because the Italian brand has long been a benchmark for Italian coffee. After establishing a place for itself in Italy and gaining a reputation as the queen of espressos, ILLY now offers access to the best coffee in all its forms.
Enjoy their selection of coffee beans, ground coffee, and capsules!
Ranges such as Arabica Selection and Illy iperespresso capsules are very popular with coffee aficionados. They will find rich aromas, consistent results and all the expertise of the brand created in north-east Italy.
Illy Caffè was founded in Trieste, by Francesco Illy, in 1933. Today, the company is in its third generation of family ownership.
Illy makes no secret of its love for coffee and is the proud holder of 4 quality certifications and 1 sustainability certification. It also owns 4 specialised laboratories and has been the driving force behind 4 major innovations, the fruit of Illy's commitment to research.
The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
