Foodie Fever: @illyissimo, You’re THE BEST!

I’m a recent Tweeter, just really starting to get into all the Twitter action this past May.  A couple of weeks ago, I entered a Twitter only contest given by my all time favorite coffee company, Illy (@illyUSA, @illycaffe & @illyissimo).  The contest asked Tweeters to name their favorite place in Italy and give the reason why.  My original Tweet:

 @illyissimo I’ve only been to Rome, but it was easily one of my favorite places in the world. So historic, beautiful & fashionable! #Italy

I then received a DM (direct message) from @illyissimo asking me for an address to ship a sample of either their new Mochaccino or their new Caffe No Sugar as a thank you for entering the contest, even though they chose another winner.  I said “Surprise me!”  Pictured below is what showed up on my doorstep on Monday, in two packages.  One was a boxed sample of a Mochaccino, surrounded by wonderful smelling coffee beans in a pretty gold box, along with two pieces of Domori chocolate.  The other was a huge box filled with two cans of each of their available flavors: Caffe, Caffe No Sugar, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, and Mochaccino (my mom ate one of the chocolates & my sister snagged one of the Caffe No Sugars before I could take the picture).  Talk about a surprise!  I now have enough coffee to get me through our trip to Las Vegas this 4th of July weekend.  Thanks again Illy!
