„Dr. Illy has been interested for some years in promoting the upgrading of Brazilian Arabica coffees by sponsoring a yearly contest for growers of top quality espresso coffees. In most years prizes were won by growers from the South and Cerrado zones of Minas Gerams. However, in 1999, due to price incentives and new preparation technology - principally the semi-washed method - selected participants ranged from the usual Minas areas to the Mogiana and other regions of Sao Paulo and even to areas of Bahia and the north of Parana.“

„"We use mostly Central American beans, since they're the basis for a good espresso. We also use only 100 percent Arabica beans as opposed to Robusta, which aren't very good quality. Central American beans tend to be spicy as well as a harder bean, so they have less moisture. Beans from Java, on the other hand, are much softer.“
