illy - Arabica Selection Colombia - 6 x coffee beans - 250 g box discount

illy Colombia coffee beans are part of the illy Arabica Selection, a set of single-origin coffees that each show the character of one country. This one is 100% Arabica from the Andes in Colombia, where the mountain conditions suit high-quality coffee. In the cup that means delicate acidity and pronounced notes of citrus and red fruit.

A bright, fruity Colombian

The medium roast keeps the fruit in front instead of covering it with roast bitterness. It rates 7 out of 13 on our scale and illy intensity 4/9, a level illy counts as soft. If you like your coffee lively and fruity rather than dark and heavy, this is the one to try.

How to brew it

illy recommends it for the moka pot, filter coffee, espresso and lungo, and it also makes a good base for a cappuccino. These are whole beans, so you need a grinder or a bean-to-cup machine: grind fine for espresso and lungo, slightly coarser for the moka pot and medium for filter.
