Questions & Answers
Illy Issimo canned in hot display cases can be found in a few locations. It's either refrigerated or shelved the majority of the time. If you prefer bitter coffee (as in a typical cup of joe in the United States), the Issimo line is not for you. It appeals to me because it is not at all bitter (one of the few coffees in which "not bitter" does not imply "slightly less bitter"). In comparison to the other members of the line, the unsweetened black Issimo is a little strong for me, but I just dilute it with milk or something. Issimo in plastic bottles should be avoided at all costs: dreadful, unknown origin, frequently curdled on store shelves despite being well within the sell-by date by date!

I believe it is 12, but the product page always states otherwise.
The coffee is strong but not overpowering; I'm not a big coffee drinker, so I only drink these when I'm on the go and have a headache. They contain a small amount of sugar, which is how the 45 calories are obtained. I don't mind drinking the entire can because there is no cream in it. Another thing I like about it is that it is sweetened with real sugar rather than the chemical crap that many of these drinks contain. The Starbucks Doubleshot was my beverage of choice, but at 130 calories, it wasn't exactly a bargain. These are great at 45 calories and I don't find them to be too stringy (remember, I don't drink coffee). I hope this information is useful. (By the way, these are on auto-ship every two months for me.)

I really liked this coffee, but it was recently announced by Illy that it would be discontinued. The other day, I ordered one last tray from Amazon. Illy has stopped producing it because it is already sold out.
My co- Every time a worker travels to Orlando, he buys this coffee. So it came as a pleasant surprise when I discovered it on Amazon. He gets the cappuccino, while I get the espresso by accident. However, when I tried it, I was pleased because this version contains more caffeine than his. I used it to mock him because he had run out of his and wouldn't be returning to Orlando until next year. I'll be ordering more in the future. It has a strong coffee flavor, and I drank it both warm and cold. Although I prefer it cold, I will consume it in either form. Strong coffee isn't usually my cup of tea. However, I enjoy this, as it is powerful.
These espresso shots have a rancid, putrid flavor to them. Avoid these shots in favor of the Cafe Bustelo espresso shots, which have a HUGE DIFFERENCE in taste, smooth consistency, and enjoyment after being pulled from the fridge with no added cream or sugar! Elli's espresso shots should be avoided as much as possible. They have a fecal water flavor to them.
The product is of high quality - It's a little sweet, but it won't upset an empty stomach and will save you a lot of time if you're not a morning person. I recommend giving it a try because it's reasonably priced and ships quickly.
I ordered these while I was deployed in the Middle East, working 12-hour shifts. br>br>I ordered these while I was deployed in the Middle East, working 12-hour shifts. If you're working 14-hour shifts and need a caffeine boost, this is a good sugar-free, non-processed option; they're even better cold if you can keep them refrigerated. br>br>It doesn't taste great, but it gives you a good boost and serves its purpose.
I was talking about these with a friend, and she was a little put off by the fact that they're only 6 years old. She couldn't drink them all morning because they were only 8 ounces. 5 Hour Energy is another one of her favorites. So, after giving it some thought, I'd describe these as a coffee-flavored version of 5 Hour Energy. Of course, there's more liquid here, but they're still quite small. She decided she liked them after consuming two of them. )br>br>Given that they aren't refrigerated, the flavor is fairly good. The non-alcoholic version has yet to be tried. non-sugar or sugar I'm not familiar with the cream varieties, so I can't comment on them. The small amount of sugar in here, I'm guessing, helps to cut the bitterness of the espresso. I'd be willing to try the others, but I'd prefer to stick to the lower-calorie options because I'm not drinking this for the taste. It's something I drink in the morning because it's convenient and quick. br>br>I've been getting it as a "Subscribe and Save" item because I'm pleased with it.
Every morning, this latte costs me $5-$6 where I live. With a tip, it's possible to get even more. The illy issimo caffe drink contains 150 milligrams of caffeine, which is about the same as a triple shot but costs only $2. 25/can. Caffeine, of course, works wonders. I was energized and even jittery after the first one, which is something I rarely experience anymore! And the flavor is far superior to what I had expected from canned coffee. It was especially tasty when I added a little cream to it, but I could easily adjust to the flavor on its own. If you don't have time to make coffee every morning and don't care for the taste of filtered coffee, as I do, this is a must-try.
A delicious cup of coffee! I served it over a large amount of ice and 1/2 cup of sugar. 1/2 - yummy. br>br>The flavor was fantastic. Very nice. mild coffee with no too much sugar (the can says "100% Natural Arabica") It appeals to me because it contains only four ingredients - There isn't a single word in it that I can't spell. Because it's not as sweet as a Starbucks Frappacino, I prefer it. br>br>I was disappointed by the size of the cans - only 6. a cup of 8 ounces - However, I should have paid more attention to the advertisement. Each can makes 1 glass of iced tea; note that the can says "DO NOT SHAKE" - this means don't shake it. So, after UPS has delivered it, let it sit for a while: br>br>I'm going to buy it again - in a larger can:.
