	Best from Italy	05/06/2009
	Reviewer: Tracy Bobo   (2) from Yorktown, VA US
	I have been drinking Illy for five years, others may come close but nothing beats it for consistency, aroma and taste. While Illy is expensive, life is too short for cheap coffee!

	great coffee,great service	08/27/2008
	Reviewer: Alessandro Vitale   (2) from Weston, CT US
	I lived in Italy for 10 years and I can guarentee you this is the best espresso! Put on top of that the service of having it delivered to your home at a competitive price and it's a win-win!

	Call me crazy . . .	09/24/2007
	Reviewer: Brad   (2) from Dallas, TX USA
	Being told that illy is the best espresso out there, I couldn't help but load up on illy medium and dark espresso beans (hard to find the dark whole beans - got them at a local kitchen store that will remain nameless). I have a new Jura-Capresso J5 super-auto. Having sampled some espresso from my neighbor's new super-auto, I couldn't stomach drip coffee anymore. He's European and used Starbucks, but said that illy is hands down the best there is. Even the Starbucks reminded me of sipping espresso at the local cafes in Italy/France. If Starbucks is this good, illy has to be amazing, right? To the point . . . illy medium tastes like glorified Maxwell House. I closed my eyes while sipping and thought I was at Denny's. None of that chocolately, intense flavor I indulged in overseas. The dark roast beans are a good deal better, but not worth the price. I just ordered 3 different bags of Lavazza and 2 different bags of Segafredo Zanetti (for some reason, I remember having this in Europe somewhere - from what I remember, it was very good). Much less expensive, so they're worth a try. After spending 2 grand on an espresso machine, I'm on a quest to find the best espresso beans available. If I make it out of my caffeine-induced coma after the 11 or so pounds of coffee I have to get through, I'll post my opinions, for what they're worth . . . Given all the rage over illy, perhaps it's just Italy's form of humor to ship crappy espresso to GW's home state.

	The finest there is...	06/27/2007
	Reviewer: Peter Johnson   (2) from Crystal Lake, IL US
	Unbelievable... This coffee is perhaps prefect. Excellent espresso, 'cino, coffee crema. The espresso is where the Illy beats any other brand. The taste is truly awesome. Yes, it is pricy. What I tend to do is buy some Illy every few months as a treat. Highly recommended, a must-try for any coffee lover with a full-auto machine.
