CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Espresso Blends, Illy (#)
„My main beef with Illy beans is the age. We all need to keep in mind that when you crack a can of these beans open, they're already 3 months out of roast. I don't care what kind of trickery you can pull with packaging, outside of cryovac-ing ala Sivetz , it's still three months old and that's that.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: General Discussion, What do you do with your illy container?
„Received a can of illy as a present a while ago. There are plenty of discussions on illy beans, so won't go into that here. I do like the container though :-) Just wondering what others do with the empty container? A waste throwing it away...“

CoffeeGeek - Notes from the Road - a Coffee Trip
„The Barista comes with one of those spring loaded nightmare portafilters, guaranteed to spit out something that looks just like crema, no matter how crappy your beans are, how badly they’re ground etc. The first indication that this stuff isn’t crema is the fact that it disappears faster than the head on a warm Diet Coke. The second indication is, of course, the oh so bitter flavor of the beverage. This is in spite of ultra fresh beans (three days old) and a good vigorous tamp.“

„One thing to realise is that we're not just talking about a typical Krups brewer here; nor are we talking about coffee maker that simply brews at the right temperatures. We're talking about a new brewing method; one that is new to North America at least. We're talking about a pressure brewing coffee system that borrows from both the auto drip world, and the moka pot world.“

CoffeeGeek - Pasquini Livia 90 - Ken Carl's Review
„ He supplied with the machine water testing strips explaining how important the water quality is. He also provided a case of Illy beans. A nice touch. I would recommend to anyone to give Chris a call if you are thinking getting your own espresso bride.“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee Crisis: TechnoServe Releases Fact-Based Industry Analysis
„The systemic shift is also the result of processors developing ways to reduce the acidity of Robusta coffee beans and increase their use in blends and in increasingly popular "flavored" coffees that mask the harsh taste. Robusta coffee plants have higher yields than Arabica plants; in addition, they are stronger plants that grow at lower altitudes, enabling them to be mechanically harvested. For these reasons, Robusta coffee is cheaper to produce than the Arabica variety and so is also becoming increasingly popular among consumers in more price-sensitive countries, further eroding the market share for Arabica.“
