illy - Coffee Beans - Arabica Selection - Nicaragua - 250 grams

Yes. The illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua consists of whole coffee beans with a medium roast, and in our product data this coffee is marked as suitable for a bean to cup machine and a semi-automatic machine.

Medium roasted arabica beans work well in a bean to cup machine, because they release less oil than very dark roasted beans. Pour the beans into the bean hopper and set the grind size according to your machine's manual.

You get whole coffee beans. The pack contains 250 grams of illy Arabica Selection Nicaragua in bean form, so you need a coffee grinder or a machine with a built in grinder.

Grinding yourself? Use espresso grind for an espresso machine and filter grind for a filter brewer such as a V60 or a Moccamaster. Those two grind sizes are not interchangeable.

This single origin from Nicaragua has refined notes of dried fruit, toasted bread and dark chocolate. In our product data the flavour profile is described as fruity and nutty.

We list the intensity at 7 (strong), so you get a full cup with a pronounced character. According to the product data this coffee is suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino.

The beans come from Nicaragua. This is a single origin, so no beans from other countries have been blended in, and it is 100 percent arabica.

Roasting takes place at illy in Italy; our product data lists Italy as the country of production. This item does not carry an organic certification.

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, for example in a kitchen cupboard and not in the fridge. Moisture and fluctuating temperatures spoil the aroma.

Unopened, coffee keeps for about a year, but it tastes best within a few months after opening. The exact best before date is printed on the packaging.
