## Overview

## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma. To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results. We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced. To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

Review: Consistent quality with a rich chocolate flavor - I bought Illy Guatemala whole beans and it’s become one of my go-to coffees. The beans have arrived fresh and the flavor is consistently good from bag to bag. The standout for me is the chocolate note — it comes through clearly in my drinks without being bitter. I also really like how the darker roast holds up in milk drinks. It still stands out instead of getting lost, and it stays really smooth with low acidity. Solid, dependable coffee that tastes great and performs the same every time.
Review: Premium Taste, Smooth & Rich - This is honestly the best coffee. The flavor is rich, smooth, and tastes so good that I can barely focus on writing this review because I just want to get up and make another cup 😂. The caffeine content is just right, and it’s very smooth—no bitterness. The medium roast color is perfect, and the size is just right for how quickly we go through it. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but the quality is absolutely worth it. If you love great-tasting coffee and want that premium café vibe at home, this one is it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WTF! Seriously.
*by S***5 on January 17, 2026*

I wasn't going to write a review because there are almost 10,000 already posted, so I realize this review will not likely ever be read. That said, I've been pulling espresso shots on my 60 lbs Italian espresso machine for the last 15 years, and can't believe how tasty Illy's Decaf Whole Bean Coffee is. I usually buy Blue Bottle Hayes Valley for my morning Americano, which they roast within 2 weeks of delivery, so I wasn't expecting much with this decaf. Uh, I was wrong and why Illy doesn't advertise that they use a more cleaner process (CO2) for their decaf is a miss. I would market that front and center given that Illy's decaf isn’t decaffeinated with harsh chemical solvents; it uses the CO₂ method, which is generally less likely to leave chemical residues and doesn’t use synthetic pesticide-related processing agents in the decaffeination stage itself. Bravo Illy. I love this decaf and get to enjoy coffee outside of the morning hours. The quality of your decaf is spot on, as is your roast, which produces a naturally sweet shot of chocolate notes with no acidity.
