Read moreIlly has made it easy to prepare authentic Italian espresso at home with E.S.E., our innovative Easy Serving Espresso. These espresso pods are individually wrapped to help the flavor last longer than loose pods. Simply insert a pre-measured serving of Illy (a pod) into an E.S.E.-compatible espresso machine, and in less than 30 seconds you have rich, robust espresso. What is an espresso pod? A pod is a measured portion of ground espresso, compressed between two biodegradable filter paper sheets. By using an espresso maker specifically designed for use with pods, the pod allows anyone to make an excellent shot of espresso in no time. Pods are easy to use, convenient and mess free, providing a consistently delicious freshly brewed shot of espresso. Espresso pods are not compatible with single-serve pod coffee makers, such as Philips Senseo, Melitta One, Bunn My Café or Mr. Coffee HomeCafé. In 1933, when Francesco Illy founded illycaffe in Trieste, Italy, his dream was to produce and sell the best coffee in the world. However, producing a superior coffee was inconsequential if he couldn't find a way to preserve the freshness. With great persistence, Illy soon found a solution: containers in which nitrogen is substituted for air, making it possible to keep roasted coffee fresh for up to 2 years! His pressurization method made history, and today, history is still being made with the Illy Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) system. Designed for those who love a true espresso, this system consists of a pre-ground, pre-measured and pre-tamped portion of high quality Arabica coffee, packed between 2 layers of specially-designed paper. Each "pod" fits directly into your espresso machine, providing you with a perfect espresso every time. There's no guesswork, no messy clean up -- only a splendid espresso.
