## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma. To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results. We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced. To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

Review: Whole bean delivers richer flavor - I love Illy coffee and particularly Intenso. The preground has always been good but there just something about these fresh beans that adds to the richness and taste.
Review: Best of the best - I have been making a morning 3-shot espresso Mocha in a manual machine for years. I've gone through Starbks beans, Lvazza beans, and many others. Some are good but the problem with most of them, is after awhile, you get too much of some feature in the flavor of those beans and you get tired of it after a while and need a change. I don't know how they've done it, but Illy has made perfect espresso beans that have a perfect flavor for over and over daily drinking. I hate that it's the most expensive one, but I'm hooked, and this is all I order now. It's on subscription.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyoke use this in a breville smart grindsr pro? If so, what setting do you use as i cant get the grind right?**
A: I have a Breville espresso machine that has a built in grinder which goes from 1(fine) to 16. For espresso, I use setting #4, and this produces espresso that I like (lots of crema).  Ultimately, I think the grinder setting is based on type of brew method you want to use and personals preference.

**Q: Are the beans free from any oils?**
A: No coffee bean is completely and naturally free of oils. I did not notice any such issue  and I have used this coffee in French Presses and drip machines.   I think it also may depend upon storage. The cans are airtight until opened and then it is best to transfer the contents to another airtight container to maintain freshness and consistency. Hope this helps!

**Q: does the coffee come in beans or grounded?**
A: Beans. Get a burr grinder and you will enjoy freshly ground coffee second to none.

**Q: Is this whole bean or ground?  The title says "whole bean" and the details say "ground".  Which is it?**
A: Thank you for contacting us. it is Whole Beans. You can also look at the can itself and if it's the whole bean, it will show a coffee bean on the banner at the bottom of the can. Or you can call illy customer care at 877 455-9347 and we will be more than happy to assist you.
