Cafe Delicato August 4, 2008

I was first introduced to Illy in Paris. My friend used it in a drip coffee maker and I couldn't believe how smooth it was, whether the scoop as level or heaping. Stronger maybe, but just as smooth. Moved on to Italy and would only hit coffee bars with the Illy insignia. Could only find it in the Italian North End in Boston, nowhere else. Finally, finally, it started showing up at Whole Foods and I started to buy it again. I've had Kona, I've had Jamaican Blue Mountain- they don't hold a candle to Illy. I use the expresso fine grind in my auto drip. I just use a paper filter and let it go a few minutes over the finished brew alarm because it's so finely ground, it's a slow drip. But it's worth it! I'm not taking a chance with the medium ground for the auto drip. I don't want to muck around with perfection.
Introduced it to a special person this summer and I think I can honestly say, I've added a smidgeon to his quality of life.
The. Best. Coffee. In. The. World. Period. July 23, 2008

I think the headline says it all.
Simply put, I've never had better coffee in my home. With a BUNN machine (Thermos-carafe style) and the filters that fit the BUNN properly, Illy espresso is perfectly brewed every single time. Upon sipping the first cup in the morning I actually say (out loud!) "Ah, great coffee!"
Pricy, yes. But SO worth it.

If you like Starbucks, you will love Illy. :) Much better aroma, but similar style (more-or-less over-burnt).
My wife prefers it to Lavazza, and I have to oblige. If I were single, I would stick to Lavazza: great aroma, not over-burnt and half the price.
Tastes as good as the espresso in the Italian coffeeshops April 5, 2008

After a long visit to Italy, my husband tried several brands of coffee and stopped when he tried this one. He swears by this for the best tasting espresso for at home.

I lived in Italy for 3 years and this was predominantly what all cafes used to make their espresso drinks. I am so pleased to be able to get this same high-quality espresso here in the U.S. It is far better than any other espresso in the world. Even so for those well known coffee shops on every corner...no offense to die-hard fans of the well-known chain (I confess I do drink their products when too lazy to make my own).
