illy CoffeeB Intenso Espresso

illy CoffeeB Intenso Espresso is a revolutionary coffee product featuring the CoffeeB system, which utilizes a 'coffee ball'—a capsule-free coffee ball that is fully compostable. This specific blend is the iconic illy 100% Arabica blend, optimized for the CoffeeB platform developed by the Swiss retail giant Migros.

The product is manufactured in Switzerland by Delica AG, a subsidiary of Migros, which specializes in coffee processing and developed the innovative seaweed-based coating that replaces traditional plastic or aluminum pods. While the coffee beans follow illy's global sourcing and roasting standards from Italy, the final production into the CoffeeB format occurs in Swiss facilities.

The partnership represents a collaboration between illycaffè S.p.A., an Italian heritage coffee brand founded in 1933, and the Federation of Migros Cooperatives. This union combines Italian coffee expertise with Swiss sustainable engineering to address environmental concerns in the single-serve coffee market.
