Illy Coffee is out of this world!
Confession: I have been a true fan of Starbucks. I used to think Starbucks was the best coffee ever and the many bags of Starbucks in my pantry will prove that! However, I recently received a gift of a half pound of illy Caffe Normale Drip/Medium Grind (Blue Band) Coffee, 8.8 Ounce Tins (Pack of 2)and I was for once in my life, truly impressed with the quality, flavor, and aroma of this coffee. I also find this to be heartbreaking as I do not know what to do with all my Starbucks that I have on hand. I just gave 3 pounds of my Starbucks to my mother-in-law since I will not be drinking it anymore. If you are a true coffee conesseiur then you will love Illy coffee. If I ever open a coffee shop, I would be more than happy to invest in this company.
Illy is great for drip or espresso coffee machines
We use Illy in both drip and espresso machines. Their darker roasts are wonderful, not bitter, and form a nice crema when used in our espresso machines.
Drink Illy any time of the day–use decaf at night as needed!
Do not feel pressured to buy whole beans and grind them every day. This ground coffee is great! The Illy canisters are vacuum-sealed and have a long shelf life. Buy several at a time if you see a good price, and enjoy!
Smooth and flavorful
I keep coming back to this espresso as one of the smoothest, medium-bodied but full flavored coffees I’ve tried. I make it in a 4-cup drip coffeemaker, not an espresso machine, and the results are still great.
I have tried the dark roast version but find that one is too much for me (at least brewed this way). I just wish it were cheaper or came in a larger quantity; it’s not the kind of price that you’re comfortable making extra cups worth and not drinking them.
Definitely one you should try if you have not.
