Details

One origin from the illy blend

The illy blend is built from Arabica grown in several countries. The Arabica Selection takes those origins one at a time, so you can taste what each country brings to the cup. This is the Nicaragua: 250 g of whole beans, 100% Arabica from a single country, roasted and packed by illy in Italy.

What it tastes like

illy describes the aroma as soft and enveloping, with the nutty notes typical of Nicaraguan coffee, and has given this origin its own roasting profile to bring them out. In the cup there is dried fruit, toasted bread and dark chocolate: a full-bodied, distinctive coffee that still stays balanced. It rates 7 out of 13 on our scale (illy intensity 6/9), so it has enough body to stand up as an espresso.

How to brew it

illy recommends it in particular for the moka pot and filter coffee, and it works just as well through an espresso machine or a bean-to-cup machine. As these are whole beans, you need a grinder: fine for espresso, a little coarser for the moka pot and coarser again for filter.

FAQ

Customer Questions

Are the illy Nicaragua coffee beans suitable for a bean to cup machine?

Yes. The illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua consists of whole coffee beans, and in our product data this coffee is marked as suitable for a bean to cup machine and a semi-automatic machine.

Pour the beans into the bean hopper and set the grind size according to your machine's manual.

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

You get whole coffee beans. The pack contains 250 grams of illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua in bean form, so you need a coffee grinder or a machine with a built in grinder.

Grinding yourself? Use espresso grind for an espresso machine and filter grind for a filter brewer such as a V60 or a Moccamaster. Those two grind sizes are not interchangeable.

What does the illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua taste like?

This single origin from Nicaragua has refined notes of dried fruit, toasted bread and dark chocolate. In our product data the flavour profile is described as fruity and nutty.

We list the intensity at 7 out of 13 (strong), so you get a full cup with a pronounced character. According to the product data this coffee is suitable for espresso, filter coffee and the moka pot.

Where does the illy Nicaragua coffee come from and where is it roasted?

The beans come from Nicaragua. This is a single origin, so no beans from other countries have been blended in, and it is 100 percent arabica.

Roasting takes place at illy in Italy; our product data lists Italy as the country of production. This item does not carry an organic certification.

What is the best way to store the illy Nicaragua coffee beans?

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, for example in a kitchen cupboard and not in the fridge. Moisture and fluctuating temperatures spoil the aroma.

Unopened, coffee keeps for about a year, but it tastes best within a few months after opening. The exact best before date is printed on the packaging.
