How should I brew these whole beans for best results?

You can use illy Decaf as whole beans in any home method — espresso, French press, drip, AeroPress, or pour-over — adjusting grind size to the technique. Fresh grinding just before brewing unlocks the fullest aromatic and flavor potential.

• 100% Arabica beans chosen for balanced acidity and sweetness.
• Roasting profile calibrated to retain signature aromatic notes after decaffeination.
