illy has been making
its world famous coffee since 1933.
Founded in 1933 in Trieste,
Italy, illycaffè is the quality and innovation leader in the
coffee industry. According to Coffee and Cocoa International,
an industry trade magazine, "illycaffe's entire ethos is built
on quality.
Illycaffè produces a unique
single blend of gourmet coffee for both brewed and espresso
preparation made from 100% high quality Arabica beans, which
is tailor-packaged for sale to restaurants, cafes, homes and
offices. In Italy, it is the leading brand in the hotel,
restaurant, and bar segment. Each day, over two million illy
espressos are served in Italy alone. And each day more than
three million people in the world who know quality, choose
illy for their coffee
.
The word espresso means "made to
order" and is used to describe food and drinks that are
prepared at the customer's request. Over time in Italy, this
became the most common way to make coffee, and eventually the
word came to be used as a noun referring to the preparation
itself.
Espresso is a lot of flavor in a very small cup. Espresso is
not just a beverage—it is not going to quench your thirst. It
is an experience, a relaxed moment in a hectic day or the
final tasting note at the end of a memorable meal. Dr. Ernesto
Illy, who has dedicated his life to the pursuit of a perfect
cup of espresso says, "A one ounce cup of perfectly brewed
espresso provides an intense aroma and flavor experience, but
no calories—it's a guilt-free indulgence."
