Why get these ESE pods from illy?
E.S.E. espresso does not really differ from “hand-made“ espresso at all. However, the advantage is that the proportion of coffee to steam is always correct and that, in turn, will deliver a consistent beverage every time. ESE pods come in all sorts of ranges and flavors. The illy ESE pods have three “flavours” – the medium roast with the distinctive red band, the dark roast with the distinctive black band and the decaffeinated coffee with the green band. The illy coffee pods have three distinguishing features. ![]()

Secondly, as with the whole bean illy coffee products, only the finest Arabica coffee beans are used for the E.S.E. pods. No use of Robusta coffee is made even if it is cheaper and has a higher caffeine content that the Arabica coffee. Only Arabica coffee is used in the illy E.S.E. pods. Thirdly these E.S.E. pods are packed in a carbon dioxide rich environment and are also sealed in this environment. The carbon dioxide rich environment will deter the normal oxidation process which I turn will mean that the coffee packed is fresher and it will retain its freshness for longer. Retailing for around twenty six dollars a box these pods are competitively priced for the value they give and the espresso experience they create. Some might bemoan the “lack” of choice in this particular range of E.S.E pods. Some coffee houses will even offer tea pods in their range. The discerning espresso lover will appreciate that the range on offer by illy covers the essence of the espresso experience. The medium and dark roasts complement each other and the decaffeinated pod is for those that enjoy the taste but do not want the caffeine. |
