  1. Coffee Innovations

A passion for science, research and knowledge

Innovation runs deep at illycaffè, going back to the company’s very beginning. So perhaps not surprisingly, three of the industry’s eight transformational innovations were developed by illy.
Barattolo illy di chicci 100% Arabica

Pressurized Packaging

The first, pressurized packaging, came in 1934, just one year after the company’s founding.  By adding inert nitrogen gas under pressure, an oxygen-free environment forms as illycans are sealed, preserving essential aromas and promoting mingling of coffee’s naturally occurring oils.  Result: coffee that not only stays fresher longer than under any other packaging method, but whose flavor is actually enhanced over time by its surroundings.

Modern Espresso Method

The second, came just one year later, in 1935: the Illetta, precursor of the modern espresso machine that, for the first time, separated pressure and heating elements.  Result: espresso that is consistently round, rich and balanced, not bitter or burnt-tasting.

Cialda E.S.E. illy

E.S.E. Pods

1974 saw illy’s third revolutionary invention: pre-tamped, pre-dosed, expertly ground espresso in single serve paper pods.  Result: delightful espresso in reach of anyone, anywhere – at home, at the office, or at a favorite café or restaurant.  The system, called ESE (Easy Serving Espresso) became an industry standard

Iperespresso

illy’s latest major innovation is Iperespresso, an exclusive capsule-based espressopreparation method that extracts coffee in two distinct phases, the first a rapid “hyperinfusion,” the second an emulsification process.  Result: authentic espresso with a remarkably rich, velvety and long-lasting crema – at the touch of a button.

Four labs to explore one universe

We enjoy it every day, so it may seem simple.  But coffee is actually quite complex: a universe unto itself.  The study of coffeedates back to 1500, starting from a rudimentary exploration of its chemical identity.  Today’s coffee research encompasses multiple scientific disciplines including genetics, agronomy, botany, physics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, engineering, physiology and psychology.  

Any wonder illy saw fit to establish four research facilities of its own?

AromaLab

For the study of the chemistry and flavor profile of coffee, and assessment of green and roastedcoffee quality

SensoryLab

For investigating the relationshipbetween sensory stimuli triggered by coffee, and our cognitive and emotional responses.

TechLab

Where the learning from AromaLab and SensoryLab are applied to new technologies and solutions to continuously improve illy’s signature blend.

BioLab

For the study of the many biologicalaspects coffee’s makeup, the characteristics of the coffee plant and the nature of the plant’s interactions in various climates and environments.
