Passion for coffee runs deep at espressamente illy
The story begins in Trieste, Italy, an Adriatic port town where coffee first entered Europe, and where in 1933, company founder Francesco Illy developed the modern espresso machine. The story is still being written today by President and CEO Andrea Illy, representing a third generation of illy family leadership.
“Rich and full-bodied, yet velvety smooth: distinctly illy.” If you ask discerning coffee lovers what makes them passionate about illy, chances are, this is what they’ll say. You’ll hear it in 140 countries, where illy’s singular, signature blend – a rich symphony of nine pure, sustainably grown Arabica beans from four continents – delights millions of coffee lovers at home, at fine hotels, restaurants and cafes, and at work, every day.
illy is where experience, taste, scientific curiosity, art and culture come together to create a multidimensional and multisensory pleasure in the cup. You can find it in every bean, and in every visually striking espresso machine illy designs; in the illy collection of cups produced by art’s contemporary masters; at every espressamenteilly around the world and in the Artisti del Gusto (“Artists of Taste”) international network of leading independent cafes and skilled baristas.
