Details

Impress your customers by serving ethical, high-quality Italian espresso using these illy Classico lungo single serve espresso pods! Filled with illy's Classico medium-roast, pure arabica blend coffee beans, these espresso pods produce a balanced flavor with a slight sweetness and notes of caramel, orange blossom, and jasmine. Meaning "long" in Italian, this lungo pod is formulated for use with double the amount of water than a regular espresso pod, creating a drink that is approximately the same size as a double shot of espresso, due to its longer extraction. The perfect house coffee option for your establishment, this lungo espresso has smooth taste and delicious flavor for the powerful pick-me-up your customers expect. Because a lungo shot is brewed more water, it has a milder body with a slightly bitter finish, a thinner consistency with less crema, and more caffeine than regular espresso. The typical way to drink coffee in Italy and other European countries, these pods allow your customers to brew their own espresso and feel transported to an Italian destination.

Packaged in single-serve packets to ensure optimum freshness, these pre-ground and portioned pods ensure a consistent serving-size and taste with every brew. Plus, they are virtually mess-free, offering an easy clean up for your staff. To use, simply place the pod in your espresso machine to brew. Some espresso machines may need to be equipped with a pod adapter prior to using these pods; to ensure these pods will work in your machine, read your espresso machine's equipment manual before use. These illy espresso pods offer you a hassle-free way to offer a morning cup of espresso, or a strong brew to accompany dessert!

As a third generation family business, illy coffee was founded in Trieste, Italy in 1933 by Francisco Illy. Francisco and his son, a chemist, helped shape the design of the modern espresso maker and created the first pre-measured coffee pods. Using pure arabica coffee beans, the Illy family created nine signature blends to deliver a smooth, unique taste in every cup. Now recognized worldwide for their superior quality, illy sets the standard for innovative coffee excellence in the form of improved ethics in the supply chain, increased sustainability, and consistent high quality. Plus in 2021, illy solidified its commitment to better environmental and social standards by becoming the first Italian coffee company to obtain a B Corp certification. To offer up the delicious taste of premium Italian coffee with a purpose, look no further than illy cafe for your coffee needs!
