About illy

Beauty. Pleasure. Consistency

Every day, over six million cups of illy are served throughout the world. And every day, each cup combines a small moment of joy and beauty with the pleasure of a short break for socializing or reflection.

A cup of illy espresso is a brief but intense experience that caresses the senses, awakens the spirit and opens the mind. From the very first sip, illy's rich fragrant aroma and distinctive, consistent taste provide an authentic Italian coffee experience to be savored over and over again.

The illy difference is, above all, its unique blend of quality espresso coffee-a single perfect blend of 100% Arabica beans from 13 different countries, carefully selected and subjected to 114 quality control steps before it is sold.

The illy difference is a commitment to collaborating with coffee growers and giving back economically, socially and environmentally to coffee-growing communities while ensuring sustainability in countries from Brazil to India to Ethiopia.

The illy difference is an unwavering passion for the culture and the arts, expressed by illy's signed and numbered limited edition cup collections designed by renowned contemporary artists.

The illy difference is leadership in innovation and technology, with an uncompromising approach to every step in the coffee journey; from meticulous selection of the beans, to their skillful blending and roasting, and finally to packaging in an air-free, pressurized environment that ensures exceptional freshness in each and every cup.
