How should I grind and brew these whole beans for best results?

Grind size depends on your chosen method: finer for espresso, medium-fine for pour-over, and coarser for French press. Freshly grinding right before brewing preserves volatile aromatics and produces a more lively, flavorful cup.

• Espresso: fine grind, 18–20 seconds extraction guideline
• Pour-over/Drip: medium grind, pour in steady concentric circles
• French press: coarse grind, steep 4 minutes before plunging
• Storage tip: keep sealed until use to maintain peak aroma

Each bag uses illy’s pressurized sealing to minimize oxygen exposure and preserve volatile oils that carry aroma and flavor. This approach extends shelf stability while keeping the beans ready for optimal extraction when ground and brewed.
