illycaffè is an Italian family business founded in Trieste in 1933 by Francesco Illy. Today it is led by the third generation of the family, with Cristina Scocchia as CEO. This continuity and profound understanding for coffee is evident in every single cup of illycaffè. Now a true global player, the company is renowned for superb Italian coffee throughout the entire world. Gourmets everywhere appreciate its outstanding quality and the unmistakable illy flavour. The unique illy blend is made up of nine varieties of pure Arabica that have been carefully selected and subjected to a strict quality control process. This is a crucial part of ensuring the consistent quality of the coffee enjoyed by millions of people every single day. Anyone who has visited the company’s headquarters in Trieste will have been struck by the total commitment of the workforce and their aspiration to produce the best coffee in the world. By combining art, innovation, experience and superb taste, illycaffè has constructed an entire world around the perfect enjoyment of coffee. Coffee cups that are signed and numbered objects d’art turn espresso drinking into an experience for both the mind and the senses. The illy Art Collection boasts sets of espresso cups and cappuccino cups. With some editions, single cups are also available. What all editions have in common is the aspiration to create a harmonious combination of elegance and flavour. The first Italian coffee company to obtain B Corp certification, illy is setting standards in sustainability as well. B Corporations are companies that commit to the highest standards of social responsibility and environmental sustainability. These companies must undergo a strict and thorough evaluation of their management and employees’ rights and the impact they have on their environment, community and customers. The certification attests that companies are en route to a responsible and sustainable future. Illy further underlines its commitment to sustainability with the annual Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award, which rewards the efforts of the most sustainable coffee producers around the world.
