Every day, people the world over drink 5 million cups of illy coffee. Yet no matter where they sip - be it in Milano or New York, Iceland or Indonesia - this 100 percent Arabica blend tastes fresh and consistently delicious. Whether it's regular, dark roast or decaffeinated, illy quality does not change. That's due to a special packaging method that maintains the coffee's flavor characteristics and preserves its full fragrance and freshness - without chemical additives. |

Illy caffè's dedication to quality and innovation is a family passion spanning three generations. What Francesco Illy began in Trieste, Italy, in 1933, when he set out to produce the world's finest coffee, continues to this day. By combining authentic Italian tradition with state-of-the-art technology, illy has earned its reputation as the world's leading coffee | |
| Coffee Once Banned in Italy! |
 Coffee was once thought to be the "devils brew" because of it's connection to the Islamic culture.
Considered to be an unholy drink in 16th century Rome, Pope Clement VIII thought it would be imprudent to ban the brew with out first tasting it. Legend has it that Clement VIII tasted it, liked it and baptized it on the spot and the Italian coffee house was born.
The top coffee brands in Italy are Illy, Lavazza and Segafredo. I know at least one of you out there thinks Lavazza is the best but just like wine - it's all a matter of taste! |
