Illy… oh illy!
February 8th, 2006
I truly believe that illy is one of the best coffee in the world, maybe second to Merchant Coffee Espresso beans. It’s 100% Arabica, and packaged in a pressurised can to maintain freshness.?The can opens like a can or fruit cocktail, the minute you puncture a hole… ‘WHoooooOOooooshhhhhhh’ this jet of compressed air shoots out of the can, bursting with the?aroma of illy coffee. I wish i could open a can of coffee EVERYDAY!

I’m not sure if you’ve tried but my favorite is still Indonesian “Kapal Api”. Strong smell, which is very addicted :p
YAR!! Merchant Espresso RAWKKKKSSS!!
Hm.. i think i’ll go get some tomorrow.
I made the horrible horrible mistake of ‘trying’ gloria jean’s white russian.
sigh.
Why don’t i ever learn.
Heyya angela,
I’ve heard from my dad whose gone coffee mad lately, that Illy does indeed make good beans. However, for the best coffee effect, u’ve gotta consume them within 24hrs, otherwise their aroma dissipates. The aroma is kept “in check” by nitrogen (that woosh that u hear when u open the can), so once it’s opened, it starts to lose its aroma.
Hope this helps;)
Will go check out merchant coffee once i’m back in perth.
have fun!
Sisilia: Where do you buy this “Kapal Api” i wouldn’t mind trying!!!!
R3n: Yar mannn i miss merchant coffee…..i tried dome, starbucks and their beans just don’t make the mark…..pretty ordinary!
I’ll get you some and pass it to Wayne :p
Nothing beats a cup of good hot coffee on a rainy day yeah? heehee I bought apacket of 3 in 1 Aik Cheong Kopi Tarik from malacca, and its soooooo goooood!! Thick and makes a big mug! Did you buy any from Penang?
sisilia: You’re so sweet! don’t need to lah, so much trouble. I’ll look our for it…thanks for offering.
sari: I think ive seen that before… you sure its good? a 3 in 1 is a 3 in 1….i had an overkill of nescafe 3in1 in perth….esp near the exams! hahahahaha
Hey there… i miss the coffees that I was drinking your place. I still get Illy at home but the preparation is different so the taste is different too (may be just slight)… but Illy’s still the best.
shaun: thanks for the info…heheheeh def try merchant …ask for merchant coffee espresso beans. And ground very finely for coffee machine. I really believe the finer the better.
LENA: Leennaaaaaa so nice to hear from youuuu
bummer about the race huh! my dads coming back on saturday. Feel so bad for him. Oh wells….you’ll probably see them all back in singapore for a month till they get the boats fixed!
yeh… It’s a pity for them but unplanned holidays at Subic Bay seem rather welcoming. As far as I know, the beaches in Philippines will be occupied by the clipper crew – for those who opt not to return home. I’m looking forward to hear stories from your dad. Well if we don’t have time to meet up for any crew parties… perhaps you could write them in your blog….hehehe
hi where can i get this illy coffee?
alvin: cold storage?
