Most experts today would agree that illy was ahead of its time in the 1970s, finding a way to make high-quality espresso easier to prepare and enjoy.  The E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) pod format presaged today’s popular pre-packed, single cup coffee-making formats, and remains a popular choice for passionate coffee lovers at home.

Each E.S.E. pod contains a perfectly dosed and tamped measure of the distinctive illy blend, enclosed in environmentally friendly filter paper designed to preserve critical flavor and aromas.  An E.S.E. pod is simply placed inside a compatible machine, and within 30 seconds yields an espresso with the signature illy taste: strong, rich, yet smooth and balanced.
