Illy Coffee Is Rather Like A Fine Wine
Illy Coffee
Illy coffee was founded in 1933 by Francesco Illy. Today, Illy markets a single blend of remarkable coffee made of 100% Arabica beans from nine different growing regions in Africa, India, South America and Central America. It is this blend of beans from different growing conditions that gives Illy its unique taste.
Illy thinks of coffee rather like a fine wine… they describe the tasting experience as something that not only affects the palate, but the entire person through all the senses. They strive to create a consistent coffee with every cup, offering richness, a mixture of flavors including fruity and flowery, with hints of caramel, chocolate, almond and honey blending together to create an unforgettable cup of coffee.
Illy coffee is best experienced as espresso. Illy believes that espresso is the quintessential method for true coffee lovers to enjoy coffee. The Illy espresso blend features notes of caramel and chocolate, toast and honey. It is velvety and sweet, setting the stage for the pleasant bitter tingle that is soon to follow. An authentic Italian coffee, Illy’s espresso awakens the spirit, caresses the senses, and opens the doors of the mind. Their espresso is available in a fine grind, a medium grind, as whole bean, or in moka, if you use a moka pot for preparation. They also make ESE (easy serving espresso) in pods, to use in any ESE-compatible coffee maker. Illy’s newest coffee innovation is the Hyper Espresso Capsules, to be used in the Francis Francis Hyper Espresso Machine. Any of these can be used to make creamy cappuccinos as well.
For perfectly brewed coffee every time, Illy recommends its medium grind for use in automatic drip coffee machines. Illy makes their medium grind available in a medium roast for those who prefer a smooth flavor with notes of caramel and chocolate; for those who prefer a more robust flavor, they offer a dark roast with deep notes of cocoa and hints of creamy caramel.
For those who like using moka pots, Illy offers a special coarse grind. For those who don’t know what a moka pot is, think of a better designed percolator. It is used on the stove top, cold water is put in the bottom, coffee is put in a filter, the lid is put on, and as the water heats, and it rises through the filter. When the coffee begins to sputter, it is done.
Illy coffee can also be brewed using a flip pot, a French press, or in the thick Turkish style.
Illy coffee makers are state of the art, too. They offer the Francis Francis X1 Espresso Machine, the Hyper Espresso System for the Hyper Espresso Capsules, and the Francis Francis Trio, which work with the ESEs. All are true works of art, designed by architect Luca Trazzi.
And finally, to finish off the perfect coffee experience, Illy began commissioning cups from Italian designer Matteo Thun in 1990.The first edition was available to the public in 1992. Illy offers these cups in signed limited editions, treating the cup as canvas. Each edition is decorated by a different artist.
Is Waking Up With A Folgers Coffee In Your Cup The Best Part Of Your Day?
Folgers Coffee
Most of us are familiar with the famous Folger’s slogan: “The best part of waking up is Folger’s in your cup!” Folger’s Coffee was founded by James A. Folger in the 19th century in San Francisco. Proctor & Gamble acquired Folger’s in 1963, after it had become one of the major brands of coffee in America. Folger’s not only offers several basic coffees, but has developed Folger’s several gourmet selections as well.
For those who use ground coffee on a daily basis, Folger’s Classic Roast is the most popular. Folger’s Simply Smooth collection was created for those who love coffee, but have sensitive stomachs. It comes in regular and decaffeinated. Simply Smooth is created by choosing quality coffee beans and roasting them to a level that will ensure good flavor without irritating sensitive stomachs.
The Folger’s Coffeehouse Series offers something for everyone. Starting on the mild side, Folger’s Breakfast Blend offers a mild, smooth coffee flavor. Moving on to a medium roast, their new House Blend has full flavor and a café-style richness. Heading into the medium-dark roast, Folger’s French Roast is hearty and robust in the French tradition of coffee. Also in the medium-dark range is their 100% Columbian which offers a rich and unique flavor. Folger’s newest offering in dark-roasted coffee is called Black Silk, which is described as smooth, with a subtle smoky note. Finally, Folger’s gold standard coffee is the dark-roasted Gourmet Supreme, a smooth, rich, full-bodied coffee.
Folger’s Flavors gives the coffee fan even more to experiment with. Chocolate Silk combines the richness of chocolate with a full-bodied coffee flavor that appeals to chocolate fans everywhere. Cinnamon Swirl adds a delightful hint of cinnamon to a rich coffee. French Vanilla is a very mellow coffee with the enticing scent of vanilla, and finally, Hazelnut combines a rich nuttiness to another mellow coffee.
And finally, we have Folger’s Gourmet Selections. Bistro Blend is a medium roast coffee that is available as ground coffee, perfect for drip coffee makers. Crème Brulee is a ground coffee with a unique light flavor. Lively Columbian is a rich, full-bodied medium-roast coffee available in decaffeinated, ground and in whole bean.
Morning Café is a light-roasted coffee with a delicate bright taste. It is available in ground. Caramel Drizzle is another ground coffee with a rich creamy finish. Hazelnut Crème is enticing, rich and smooth, and is available in ground and in whole bean. Chocolate Truffle is a must for chocolate lovers. It is creamy and rich with a distinctive chocolate flavor you won’t soon forget. Vanilla Biscotti is smooth and creamy with a luscious vanilla finish. It is also available in both ground and whole bean. Espresso Roast is a bold and intense ground coffee, perfect for anyone who truly loves the full flavor of coffee.
Folger’s still makes instant coffee as well… the well-known Folger’s Crystals, and now in single serving packets as well. They also make three Cappuccino flavors that make an instant cup.
Folger’s also makes Coffee Pods, which work with the Home Café system to brew one perfect cup of coffee at a time. Coffee Pods come in a variety of flavors. The pods look similar to a round tea bag, and are placed into specialized coffee makers by Krups and Black and Decker.

Coffee:cappuccino
“Cappuccino” is yet another household name to coffee lovers. The ingredients are pretty much identical to the much-loved “Cafe Latte” from our last issue. A cup of cappuccino also simply contains hot milk and milk foam. The slight difference is that cappuccino boasts more foam than latte, which means less milk of course.
So, a cup of cappuccino will give you a more intense, sophisticated, bitter taste of coffee (since there’s less milk in the way, the real coffee taste exudes and conquers the cup). The milk foam the just-right proportion of the divine milk foam, is idealistic fun for those who love soft, smooth, tickly sensation of the bubbly foam!(though, it will evaporate after a while if you leave it on the table..)
Another tip is to sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg powder even cocoa powder, on your cappuccino to spice up or sweeten up the flavor. It’s your choice!
