illy Coffee

Ballantyne Resort strives to deliver an enriching experience to its guests, and illy provides the ultimate coffee break by offering a single, perfect blend of 100% Arabica coffee beans, handpicked from nine different growing regions around the world.

From cultivation through consumption, illy ensures an authentic Italian experience in every cup by satisfying both the senses and the spirit.  To arrive at the rich, distinctive taste, illy incorporates more than 120 moments of innovation, from electronic sorting to identify defective beans to computer-controlled roasting and cooling.  In addition, illy utilizes a pressurization technique that provides the best packaging and freshest coffee possible.

A global leader in innovation, technology and espresso excellence, illy shares Ballantyne Resort’s passion for uncompromising quality,” said Peter Grills, Food & Beverage Director, Ballantyne Resort.  “We make every effort to offer our guests the best product, and we know they will enjoy the smooth, balanced taste of illy.”

Espresso is illy’s heritage, and the consistently perfect blend serves as the foundation for a variety of flavorful coffee drinks, including brewed coffee, shakerato, French press, cappuccino, latte, moka, café au lait, café crème, coffee martini, freddo, frappe al caffe, corretto, ristretto and macchiato.   These core beverages can be modified in multiple ways through the addition of flavors.
