☕ Gift set contents

1. Illy Classico ground coffee 250g (metal can)

The flagship of the illy roastery. This masterful, time-tested blend is made exclusively from nine of the world's best 100% selected Arabica coffee varieties. The beans undergo a precise medium roast ( Classico ), which creates an unusually harmonious and silky smooth cup. The taste is perfectly balanced between sweetness and pleasant bitterness with captivating notes of ripe caramel, blooming jasmine and delicate milk chocolate, completely free of harsh bitterness.

• Unique pressure packaging (pressurization): The coffee is sealed in an iconic metal can in a protective inert atmosphere under high pressure. This patented process reliably locks all volatile aromatic substances and precious essential oils inside the cells of the coffee beans. The result is an absolute guarantee of freshness, as if the coffee had only been roasted a short time ago.

2. Original illy porcelain cup with saucer for Cappuccino

The professional, thick-walled cup made of high-quality, pure white porcelain has the ideal volume for preparing a traditional Italian cappuccino (or for a longer coffee such as Lungo or Americano).

• Barista geometry: The inner bottom of the cup has a specially rounded shape (the so-called egg profile), which facilitates optimal coffee flow from the lever and helps to perfectly mix the espresso with whipped milk foam to achieve a velvety consistency. In addition, the massive walls perfectly accumulate heat and protect the coffee from rapid cooling. The iconic ear in the shape of an open circle is the design signature of the illy brand.

💡 Preparation and serving experience

Ground illy Classico coffee delivers consistent barista results in home lever coffee makers, traditional moka pots (bialetas) and drip coffee makers. For a full experience, we recommend warming the cup before preparation (with hot water or on the surface of the coffee maker). Extract a good espresso (approx. 30 ml) into the preheated cup and then top it with properly warm whole milk whipped to a velvety microfoam. The illy cup's shape beautifully guides the flow of milk, which will also be appreciated by enthusiasts trying the latte art technique.

Tip for preserving freshness: After opening the metal can, we recommend keeping the rubber seal of the lid clean, tightening the can tightly after each use and storing it in a cool, dry and dark place (you can even store it in the refrigerator to completely slow down the oxidation of the oils). The elegant can can be reused in the kitchen after the coffee is consumed or recycled ecologically. The porcelain cup is fully certified for demanding gastro operations and is suitable for use in the dishwasher and microwave.
