How do you use illy Costa Rica?

You can use illy Costa Rica coffee beans for espresso, filter coffee, cappuccino and moka pot/percolator. The light roast helps the caramel, chocolate and vanilla notes stay clear in the cup. Grind the beans to suit your method and keep the taste profile smooth.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Are the illy Costa Rica coffee beans suitable for a bean to cup machine or an espresso machine?

Yes. These are whole arabica beans with a medium roast and our product data lists a bean to cup machine and a semi automatic machine as the ideal preparation.

For a manual espresso machine you grind the beans fine (espresso grind), for filter coffee you grind coarser. According to the product data this coffee is suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino.

Do I get whole beans or ground coffee with the illy Costa Rica 250 grams?

You receive 250 grams of whole coffee beans, not ground coffee. So you need a coffee grinder or a machine that grinds the beans itself.

Match the grind size to your appliance: espresso grind for an espresso machine, filter grind for a filter coffee maker. Coffee that is ground incorrectly runs through too quickly or too slowly.

What does the illy Arabica Selection Costa Rica taste like?

This single origin from Costa Rica tastes smooth and round, with sweet notes of honey, caramel and vanilla, fresh citrus accents and a subtle hint of chocolate and dried fruit.

Our product data lists the flavour profile as nutty and honey, with intensity 5 (normal). That makes this a milder coffee than a robust espresso blend.

Is the illy Costa Rica 100 percent arabica and does this coffee contain caffeine?

Yes, this is 100 percent arabica from a single country of origin: Costa Rica. There is no robusta in it, which explains the smooth and round flavour.

The coffee simply contains caffeine, it is not a decaf. If you are looking for caffeine-free coffee, choose a product from our decaf range.

How do I store the illy Costa Rica coffee beans after opening?

Seal the packaging well after opening and store the beans in a cool, dark and dry place. Do not put them in the fridge, because beans absorb moisture and odours there.

Ground coffee loses its aroma faster than whole beans, so only grind what you need at that moment.
