Hey coffee lover,
Illy is an iconic name in the coffee industry, currently run by the third generation of the Illy family. The company is responsible for numerous firsts in coffee history, like developing ESE pods and exporting Italian coffee and espresso culture worldwide.
But the current popularity of Third Wave coffee, pour over brewing, and small-batch, artisanal roasters begs the question: Is Illy still relevant?
Should you spend your coffee budget on this brand?

My two cents: Shop local if you can. But Illy remains one of the better widely available coffee options, particularly for fans of traditional Italian espresso.
