Illy CoffeeB compostable coffee spheres
Illycaffè expands its path of sustainable innovation with the launch of the new single-serve system CoffeeB, a revolutionary solution that changes the way we experience daily espresso. No more traditional capsules or pods, but small coffee spheres made of compressed coffee that contain all the quality and sensory experience of Illy. A new format that combines convenience, design, and a concrete commitment to the environment, offering always fresh, aromatic coffee in line with the brand’s sustainability philosophy.
Illy CoffeeB coffee blends in sphere format
The new Illy CoffeeB coffee spheres contain the unmistakable taste of the Illy blend, selected from the top 1% of Arabica beans in the world. This heritage of quality now takes a new form: perfectly dosed Coffee Balls for a consistently balanced espresso. The available blends are Illy’s classic roasts:
- Classico, a smooth and balanced profile with soft and delicate notes
- Intenso, richer and more full-bodied, designed for those who prefer a stronger and more structured taste
Each sphere is coated with a thin natural protective film made from alginate, designed to preserve aroma and freshness even after opening the package. The result is a coffee that maintains its full quality while being 100% compostable: after use, it can be disposed of in organic waste or directly in the soil, leaving no waste behind.
Illy CoffeeB coffee machines
The CoffeeB system is supported by a dedicated machine that completely eliminates the use of capsules or pods. The CoffeeB Cosmos machine uses a specially designed extraction technology for compressed coffee spheres. Operation is simple and intuitive: the Coffee Ball is inserted into the dedicated slot, the desired cup size is selected, and the machine automatically starts the extraction process. Hot water flows through the sphere in a controlled way, allowing the coffee to release its full aroma and produce a creamy, balanced, high-quality espresso. In addition to ease of use, the CoffeeB system represents a concrete step toward greater sustainability: the coffee spheres are 100% compostable. The entire system is designed to reduce the environmental impact of daily coffee consumption. The absence of capsules and non-recyclable materials, combined with the ability to dispose of Coffee Balls in organic waste or directly in the soil, contributes to a more responsible and environmentally friendly consumption model, without compromising espresso enjoyment.
