PASSION FOR COFFEE RUNS DEEP AT ILLYCAFFÈ
The story begins in Trieste, Italy, the Adriatic port town where coffee first entered Europe, and where in 1933, company founder Francesco Illy developed the modern espresso machine. The story is still being written today by President and CEO Andrea Illy, representing a third generation of illy family leadership. Recognised in 140 countries, illy’s singular, signature blend – a rich symphony of nine pure, sustainably grown Arabica beans from four continents – delights millions of coffee lovers at home, at fine hotels, restaurants and cafes, and at work, every day. illy considers respect for the environment and people that nurture coffee a fundamental part of doing business -- in evidence every day for 20 years across Central America, South America, India and Africa. Francesco Illy’s innovative spirit lives on today through advances like iperEspresso, a five-patent-protected rethinking of espresso preparation, made simple for all; in illy issimo , a ready-to-drink coffee distributed globally through a joint venture with the Coca Cola Company; and in bringing café-quality espresso to offices, with capsule convenience, through Mitaca, a company owned 50% by illy. - Sector
