Hi everyone,

We’re excited to announce that we have selected illycaffe to be our new coffee partner on flights worldwide and in United Clubs. Beginning as soon as next month, illy’s signature scuro dark roast and espresso will be served in United Club locations at our mainland U.S. hubs. Other lounge locations will offer illy in 2016, with the scuro dark roast coming to flights worldwide next summer.

Some of you have been involved in the extensive taste testing process and others have provided passionate feedback regarding the importance of coffee. With all of the insight we received, we landed on illy as it reflects our global network as well as our commitment to creating a premium experience.

For more, see our post on United Airtime.
