How did this obsession start? I believe everyone of us has their own answer.
For me it started back to 2004 , when I decided to sign off on a coffee delivery program of illy . It came with a pretty good discount on Francis! Francis! x5 espresso machine. I also got as a present - 6 illy collection cup of Daniel Buren . I remember that I was surprised by the perfect design of the cup , and the feelling that I’m holding a piece of art in my hands. Later I found out that these cups were only a small portion of a huge illy art collection. Long story short, my obsession is started .
Very shortly, I was stunned by how small is known about these cups despite huge interest and growing population of collectors . Specifically in US, when interest to espresso coffee just started to grow.To find some information regarding the illy cups was similar for search of treasure.
7 years later , and more than 200 cups in my own collection , I decided to create this site to provide as much as possible information about collection and also to provide reference for collectors on prices , on how to find cups , history of the cups and every other possible aspect of this beautiful collection.
I consider myself a beginner and would be glad to get any help from any knowledgeable source. I believe together we will built a great site that all of us will be proud and glad to use.
