Discover illy E.S.E Classico Lungo Pods

Since 1933, illy has pursued Coffee as an art, emphasizing a rich aroma, balanced flavor, and a distinctive character. For Classico Lungo, we select only the top 1% of Arabica beans sourced from farmers in more than 30 countries, built on relationships that aim for quality and shared progress. This focus on premium ingredients and responsible partnerships informs every cup.

Each pod is wrapped in a filter paper that helps preserve aroma and freshness when used with compatible machines. Our beans undergo rigorous quality checks to prevent defects that could dull the blend’s signature profile. A hallmark of illy is the patented pressurization system—introduced in 1934—where inert gas replaces air in the tin to keep the coffee vibrant between brews and protect its aroma.
