    Good Points: Nice can

    Bad Points: Dry beans with a lack of full flavour.

    General comments: I am concerned that Illy are more worried about their image than reputation for good coffee. The latest batch I purchased (not cheap at £3.99 for 250g) was dry and lacked any real expresso punch. I must say that this comparison is made against Anderson's Coffee (Austin tx) Italian roast, which is the best I've ever had. Still, for the money I think Illy should be selecting better beans and producing a richer and moister blend.

    Clean, elegant, balanced. Fragrant with toast, nut, and caramel notes in aroma, suave in body. The straightforward balance of bitter and sweet tones in the demitasse is complicated by the slightest edge of floral acidity and dry fruit. Light, bright and sweet in milk.
