anyone know where i can buy illy coffee beans in the north east?

they're available on the tesco website at 6.69 a tin but i can't get home deliveries where i am and i've never seen them at my local store (drogheda).

Might I suggest ordering from Has Bean?

Up until a few months ago I used to use Illy beans. But I've found that the price of a typical bag of beans (250g) plus standard shipping works out at about the same price as a tin of Illy.

If I place an order on Sunday night/Monday morning they are usually roasted, shipped via cheapest method, and brewing nicely in my machine before the weekend. You can't get much fresher.

Maybe give the premium espresso blend a try and see what you think.
(I just did a quick check and I work it out to be about €6.25 inc shipping!)

Thanks. I have used Has Bean before and would recommend them too. Still like to find somewhere locally that sells Illy.

Tesco on Parnell St had a not too bad selection of Illy last time I was there. Don't know if they have whole beans but they deffo had ground.

They sell the beans in Brown Thomas, they're about €11 though.
