Illy Espresso Whole Bean Medium Roast 250g

The Illy Espresso Whole Bean Medium Roast 250g is a premium coffee offering that delivers the classic Illy experience in every single bean. Crafted from 100% Arabica, these beans are sourced from carefully selected plantations and roasted to a medium profile that balances bright acidity with a smooth body.

Key Characteristics

• Origin: Premium Arabica beans grown in optimal climates, ensuring consistent flavor notes.
• Roast Level: Medium roast – the sweet spot that preserves natural bean sweetness while developing a gentle crema.
Weight: 250 grams per sealed tin, ideal for home baristas and small cafés alike.
• Packaging: Airtight tin with a resealable lid to lock in aroma and freshness.

Flavor Profile

The medium roast brings out subtle caramel undertones complemented by a hint of nutty warmth. The acidity is bright yet restrained, giving the espresso a lively lift without overpowering the palate. When brewed, it produces a velvety crema that lingers, enhancing the overall sensory experience.

Brew Compatibility

Designed for espresso machines, this bean performs exceptionally well in both manual and automatic systems. Its uniform grind size when ground fresh ensures optimal extraction pressure and a balanced shot. For those who prefer a richer cup, the medium roast also works beautifully in a French press or pour‑over setup.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve freshness. The airtight seal keeps the beans aromatic for up to six months after opening, provided they are ground just before brewing.

Grinding Tips

• Use a burr grinder for consistent particle size.
• For espresso, aim for a fine grind that allows water to flow at about 25–30 seconds per shot.
• If using a French press, opt for a coarser grind to avoid over‑extraction and bitterness.

Environmental Commitment

Illy is committed to sustainable sourcing. The beans are harvested with responsible farming practices, ensuring minimal environmental impact while supporting local communities. The packaging is recyclable, reinforcing Illy’s dedication to eco‑friendly operations.
