What flavor profile should I expect from illy Ethiopia medium roast?

This Ethiopia single-origin roast leans toward floral and bright citrus elements rather than heavy chocolate or caramel. The medium roast level preserves origin character—think jasmine-like florals, orange blossom lift, and subtle chamomile softness that create a clean, aromatic cup.

• Primary notes: jasmine, orange blossom, chamomile
• Acidity: lively but balanced, citrus-tinged
• Body: medium, smooth mouthfeel
• Finish: clean, aromatic and slightly sweet

How should I brew illy whole beans to get the best results?

Grind beans just before brewing to capture the bright aromatics and nuanced flavors. Use a medium-fine grind for espresso, medium for pour-over or drip, and coarse for French press; adjust extraction time and dose to taste.

• Espresso: 18–20 seconds extraction for concentrated brightness
• Pour-over: medium grind, 2.5–3.5 minute total brew time
• French press: coarse grind, 4 minutes steep for smooth body
• Scaling: start with 1:15–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio, then refine

How does illy keep whole beans fresh until I grind them?

Each bag uses illy’s pressurized packaging to limit oxygen exposure and retain volatile aromas. The sealed pouch slows staling so the beans preserve their single-origin brightness longer than unprotected packaging.

• Patented pressurized bag protects aroma and flavor
• Resists oxidation to maintain bean freshness for longer
• Ideal for batch storage: buy sealed pouches and open when needed
