A captivating taste contrast packed under pressure for an absolute guarantee of freshness in every opened can."

Do you want to enjoy a top-quality espresso in your home or office, offering the choice between a delicate balance and an energetic boost depending on your mood? The advantageous mix containing 2 pieces of 250g metal cans of ground coffee from the illy Espresso Classico (medium roast) and illy Intenso (dark roast) lines from the globally iconic roaster from Trieste is the perfect choice for discerning coffee connoisseurs. This exclusive set is made exclusively from nine of the best varieties of 100% high-altitude Arabica in the world. Thanks to the precise fine grinding, the coffee is ideally calibrated for preparing an authentic Italian espresso. This ensures that the hot water extracts the coffee at the optimal speed, the drinks gain flawless body and the rich palette of aromas with a thick, elastic crema fully develops in the cup.

By purchasing this mix (2 × 250g), you will not only get a perfectly balanced coffee menu, but above all the assurance of perfect freshness. The unique patented system of packaging under pressure (pressurization) in an inert atmosphere reliably locks all volatile aromatic substances and precious essential oils inside the can. Instead of opening one large package, which loses its properties over time, you gradually open individual 250g cans. This guarantees your family, visitors or colleagues an absolutely perfect, fresh barista experience until the last cup.

☕ Flavor profile: Sweet caramel, dark cocoa, blossoming jasmine and toasty notes

This mix stands out for its extraordinarily complex, velvety smooth texture, penetrating aroma with a captivating contrast of both roasting stages and a perfectly balanced palette of subtle tones:

• Sweet caramel and milk chocolate (Classico): The medium roast position enchants with delicious, warm notes of caramel and fine chocolate, which give the coffee a stable, elegant and highly rounded base.

• Dark cocoa and toasted notes (Intenso): The darker roasting position completely eliminates acidity and brings out the intense accents of pure cocoa and the aroma of freshly baked bread crust.

• Blooming Jasmine and Dried Fruit: The aroma and subtle undertones on the palate reveal a refined trail of jasmine and orange blossom, leaving a clean and long-lasting sweet aftertaste in both blends.

💡 Who is it ideal for and what kind of preparation?

The premium illy Espresso blend delivers excellent and consistent results in all types of home and office lever coffee machines. It is also the perfect choice for traditional Italian moka pots (bialet), but also works great in electric drippers or French presses.

It is a fantastic choice for those who love variety and change their coffee ritual throughout the day – the medium-roasted Classico is ideal for a harmonious morning espresso or a delicate morning Lungo, while the dark-roasted Intenso will perfectly kick-start you after a hearty lunch. Both versions also form an absolutely stunning and stable base for milk specialties (cappuccino, latte macchiato, flat white), with which their chocolate and cocoa tones combine in perfect harmony.
