A rich history and recognized expertise: the Illy brand

Founded in 1933 in Trieste, Italy, by Francesco Illy, the Illy brand quickly became a symbol of excellence in the world of coffee. From its beginnings, the company has stood out for its commitment to quality, innovation and sustainability. The invention of the modern espresso machine and the introduction of ESE pods are just a few examples of its impact on the coffee industry. Today, Illy stands for perfection in every cup. The brand works directly with coffee producers around the world to guarantee exceptional beans, grown with respect for the environment and local communities. Illy ESE Pods embody this heritage by making the premium espresso experience accessible to everyone.

What is an ESE Illy pod?

THE ESE Illy Pods (Easy Serving Espresso) are pre-packaged pods containing a perfect serving of high quality ground coffee. Designed according to the ESE standard, these pods are compatible with a wide range of espresso machines designed for this format, making them incredibly versatile. Each pod contains 7 grams of precisely ground and compacted coffee, wrapped in a biodegradable paper filter. This precision guarantees optimal extraction, allowing you to create an espresso with creamy cream and authentic aromas. With Illy ESE Pods, you don't have to worry about dosing, grinding or tedious cleaning: they provide a simple, clean experience without compromising on quality.
