You know what they say – keep your coffee close, and your coffee machine closer.

The ILLY Y5 Duo is the famous coffee brand’s newest device – simply designed – and compact enough that you’ll be able to keep it by your side or at your desk.

ILLY machines, much like their coffee, utilize the highest quality standards including a proprietary brewing technology that never allows the coffee to come in contact with the machine itself. This will insure the purist instant espresso or coffee experience you’ve ever had – hands down.

Individual single serve brewed coffee capsules feature high-tech mini filters that are calibrated to brew full bodied, rich cups of coffee – a smooth experience consistent with the flavor illy is known for. Each capsule contains nine types of sustainably grown Arabica beans (directly purchased from the growers by the way).

Disclaimer: The only issue with this machine – you’ll need to think of new tasks for the interns.

Purchase the ILLY Y5 Duo here – and check out other ILLY products on their official website. 

And since summer is on the way, we’ve thought it would be best to share an iced coffee recipe for you to play around with.

The ILLY Espressoda

8 oz. club soda

1 oz. illy espresso

1 oz. vanilla syrup

  • Directions:
  1. Fill a standard 10-ounce latte glass to the top with fresh ice

How coffee is made: The step-by-step journey from growing to roasting
Coffee's journey from seed to cup
Coffee Tree

I recently discovered what, I think, is the most remarkable fun fact about how coffee is made. Coffee plants take three to four years to reach maturity, where they begin to produce the "coffee cherries" or "fruit" that contains the coffee beans we know and love. After years of drinking coffee, knowing this fun fact makes me appreciate the journey from growing to roasting even more.

Even after the lengthy growing and harvesting stage, coffee beans still have many other steps until they can be enjoyed. Coffee beans go through various stages, such as processing, drying, and roasting, before they are even packaged for coffee drinkers. Below, learn more about how coffee is made through a step-by-step breakdown of each stage.
