"Hand-brewed coffee is different from espresso, which is made with a machine; hand-brewed coffee feels more personal." With 30 years of coffee experience, he takes great pride in this point. Due to the insistence on manual preparation, you might have to wait a bit to enjoy coffee at Illy, which prolongs the anticipation for the drink. "Filtered coffee is softer; unlike espresso, which hits you with its strong aroma right away, the focus is on its aftertaste, like a lingering fragrance," Mr. Peng speaks of coffee as if it were poetry! Besides coffee, there's the unique vibe at Illy, which netizens claim you "must check out." Illy is named after the owner's daughter, and it is a cozy little café; if you pass by without paying attention, it’s easy to overlook. However, its rustic wooden entrance has a lot of charm.
