You know what they say – keep your coffee close, and your coffee machine closer.

So what could be better than waking up to a cup of hot coffee? Having the machine that makes that hot cup of coffee by your side all day.

The ILLY Y5 Duo is the famous coffee brand’s newest device – simply designed – and compact enough that you’ll be able to keep it by your side or at your desk.

ILLY machines, much like their coffee, utilize the highest quality standards including a proprietary brewing technology that never allows the coffee to come in contact with the machine itself. This will insure the purist instant espresso or coffee experience you’ve ever had – hands down.

Individual single serve brewed coffee capsules feature high-tech mini filters that are calibrated to brew full bodied, rich cups of coffee – a smooth experience consistent with the flavor illy is known for. Each capsule contains nine types of sustainably grown Arabica beans (directly purchased from the growers by the way).

Disclaimer: The only issue with this machine – you’ll need to think of new tasks for the interns.

Purchase the ILLY Y5 Duo here – and check out other ILLY products on their official website. 

And since summer is on the way, we’ve thought it would be best to share an iced coffee recipe for you to play around with.

The ILLY Espressoda

Ingredients:

8 oz. club soda

1 oz. illy espresso

1 oz. vanilla syrup

  • Directions:
  1. Fill a standard 10-ounce latte glass to the top with fresh ice
  2. Add club soda, leaving a bit of room on top for illy espresso
  3. Add vanilla syrup and stir
  4. Prepare 1 shot of illy espresso using illy’s new Y5 Duo and pour over soda; chill if desired

To enjoy the Espressoda as an after work treat – fill the glass with ice, add 1/2 ounce vodka or rum (avoid citrus or bitter flavored spirits), then add the soda and vanilla, before topping with the illy espresso.

Iced latte

We all love a good iced latte. Particularly in the summer months when the mornings are steamy, that chilled caffeine rush is really the only way to start the day. Though, what started out as a once-a-day breakfast caffeine treat has now evolved into something most of us are sipping on constantly throughout the day. Of course, there's the one that gets us out of bed in the morning. But then that 10 a.m. meeting rolls around, and we're desperate for another. Then there's the post-lunch crash when that beautiful iced latte is an absolute requirement, and before we know it, we've crushed several before the day is even close to over. So, there's really no reason we shouldn't be getting the most out of these popular, nay, necessary beverages in all of our doses.

We all know how to make an iced latte, right? Well, as it turns out — not so much. Typically, this simple drink is made by pouring coffee over ice, then topping it with your creamer and/or sweetener of choice, stirring, and sipping. And while that's almost correct, one clever TikToker reveals that it's actually the incorrect way to make an iced latte.

Coffee bean plant

Most of us begin our day with a rich and steamy, piping-hot cup of coffee, without giving much thought to the beans' journey from the farm into our favorite mug. Sure, we can do our best to shop wisely, and frequent smaller, local, more environmentally friendly purveyors, but it's hard to do all the time. We can do our best, but at the end of the day, being earth-conscious of every single thing we put in our grocery carts can get pricey and, frankly, inconvenient. That's why we love it when the big dogs of the grocery world do something right when it comes to the planet. And Nestle's plan is one we can all get on board with.

Nestle, the world's largest packaged food company, and owner of the tremendously popular Nestle coffee brand Nespresso, is switching things up when it comes to practices that will help not only their business, but our planet, and the farmers who work tirelessly for those delicious Nescafé coffee beans.
