The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma.
To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results.
We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced.
To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the individually sealed packets help me avoid the mid-afternoon coffee run that breaks my focus?
Yes. Each 2g packet is pre-portioned, so you only need hot water and a mug. You can brew at your desk in under a minute, keeping your workflow intact without leaving the office.
Does the Classico Medium Roast give a consistent taste so I can rely on it as part of my daily work ritual?
Absolutely. illy selects only the top 1% Arabica beans and uses a zero-defect process, so every packet delivers the same balanced caramel, orange blossom, and jasmine notes cup after cup.
How long does it take to prepare a cup during a busy workday?
About 30 seconds. Tear open a packet, add hot (not boiling) water to your mug, stir, and it dissolves instantly. There is no brewing equipment to clean up.
Can I keep a stash in my desk drawer without it losing flavor over the week?
Yes. The single-serve sachets are individually sealed to lock in freshness, so they stay aromatic and full-flavored even when stored in a drawer or locker for extended periods.
Is this discreet enough to prepare in a shared coworking space without bothering others?
Very. There is no machine noise, no grinding, and no lingering coffee pot smell. You simply stir a single packet into your mug, making it one of the most considerate options for shared environments.
Is this instant coffee strong enough to keep me productive through a long meeting day?
Yes. The 2g portion is calibrated for a standard mug and delivers a balanced, caffeinated lift that holds up well during extended work sessions without becoming bitter.
Do I need a coffee maker or special mug to use this in my home office?
No equipment is required. Any cup that holds hot water will work, which is why it's ideal for home offices, hotel desks, and conference rooms where machines aren't available.
Can I share individual packets with coworkers without measuring or guessing portions?
Each packet is pre-measured at exactly 2g, so handing one to a colleague is a complete serving. There is no scoop, no mess, and no waste.
Will the compact box fit on a small desk or in a shared kitchen drawer?
Yes. The portable box is slim and lightweight, designed to fit neatly beside a monitor, inside a desk drawer, or in a small office kitchen cabinet.
Does the aroma enhance focus like a fresh brew, or is it weaker since it's instant?
The Classico blend is built on premium Arabica with signature floral and caramel notes, so the aroma carries through once hot water hits the granules, creating a café-like atmosphere at your desk.
Is this more productive than a pod machine that takes time to heat up?
For pure speed and minimal interruption, yes. There is no warm-up cycle, no pod disposal, and no machine maintenance. You just stir and drink, which keeps your task momentum going.
Could I use this as my primary office coffee instead of an expensive café habit?
Many remote workers and office professionals do exactly that. The 40-count box provides weeks of consistent cups at a fraction of café pricing, with zero compromise on taste quality.
I'm worried single-serve packets will create trash all over my desk. Is the packaging manageable?
Each empty packet is small and flat, and most users drop them straight into a waste bin after use. It's far less mess than grounds, filters, or used pods.
Will my coworkers think instant coffee is a downgrade from fresh brew?
Not once they taste it. illy's Classico Medium Roast is made from top-tier Arabica with the same blending expertise as their café beans, so the response is usually pleasant surprise.
Is the caffeine level consistent so I don't get jittery during an important presentation?
Because each packet is an identical 2g serving, your intake is predictable. It's a controlled, medium-roast caffeine dose, which most professionals find smooth and steady.
Does the instant format really taste as good as a French press or pour-over?
While brewing methods differ, illy's zero-defect Arabica and signature roasting deliver a noticeably richer profile than typical instant coffee, making it a strong upgrade from standard supermarket jars.
How do I prepare a cup of illy Instant Coffee Singles?
Open one 2g packet and pour the granules into your mug. Add about 6 to 8 ounces of hot (not boiling) water, stir for a few seconds, and the coffee dissolves completely. Adjust the water amount to taste.
Can I add milk, sugar, or creamer to this instant coffee?
Yes. The Classico Medium Roast is delicious black, but it pairs well with dairy, plant-based milks, cream, sugar, honey, or flavored syrups if you prefer a customized cup.
Can I make an iced coffee with these single-serve packets?
Yes. Dissolve one packet in a small splash of hot water, then pour over a tall glass filled with ice. You can also stir directly into cold water, though it will take a bit more stirring.
Are the packets compatible with travel mugs, paper cups, and ceramic mugs?
Yes. The granules simply need hot water and any clean cup, including travel tumblers, hotel paper cups, ceramic mugs, and even camping cups.
Is this product compatible with a French press, pour-over, or drip machine?
You don't need any of those. illy Instant Coffee Singles are designed to be used without brewing equipment, so they are fully compatible with any setup that provides hot water.
What exactly comes in the box when I order illy Instant Coffee Singles?
You receive one portable box containing 40 individually sealed 2g single-serve packets of illy Classico Medium Roast instant coffee. No additional equipment or accessories are included, and none are required.
Is illy Instant Coffee Singles safe for people with dietary restrictions?
The product is gluten-free and made from 100% Arabica coffee. It contains no dairy, no artificial flavors, and no major allergens, but you should always review the packaging for the most current ingredient and allergen information.
How should I store the box to keep the packets fresh?
Store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Because each packet is individually sealed, you don't need to worry about freshness once a packet is opened and used.
What's the difference between instant coffee and ground or pod coffee?
Instant coffee is brewed and then dehydrated into granules that dissolve in water, eliminating the need for any brewing equipment. Ground or pod coffee requires a machine, manual brewing, and cleanup. illy's instant format delivers premium Arabica flavor in seconds, with the trade-off being that it cannot replicate the body of a French press or espresso shot.
