illy caffe

Considered the best espresso one can buy, Illy, has cornered the market on innovation and technology when it comes to it's beans. They have taken espresso to new levels with their art-worthy machines to their single serving Iper pod that produces crema even if your cat loaded the wand. It truly is delicious, flavorful, consistent espresso - every time. We at the shop are lucky enough to offer you espressos on the house so you can experience the joy of a crema rich espresso from Illy because they really will put their money where their mouth is.  As for the art-worthy machines they are beautiful, and yup, you guessed it we have them for sale in the shop.  They're Ferrari red and they don't cost anywhere near as much...

COFFEE GURU
Ernesto Illy, a chemist, was chairman of Illy Caffe from 1963 to 2004. It was founded in 1933 by his father, Francesco, a chocolate maker from Hungary who moved to Trieste after World War I. Largely under Ernesto Illy’s direction, the company built a laboratory equipped with sophisticated instruments like gas chromatographs, infrared emission pyrometers and flame ionization detectors. There, coffee beans are cut into slices eight microns thick for analysis in an electron microscope. Every step of the manufacturing process is monitored by computers. There are 114 quality-control checks between the time bags of raw beans arrive on the loading docks to the time roasted beans are shipped in sealed cans. Every day, Mr. Illy, along with 15 other people he had trained, would taste every lot of beans that the company was considering buying.
