I've been all over these forums & can't find the 'right forum', so mybe i'll find an answer on the front porch ? 
I have 2 cans of 'cheapie' coffee ; tried mixing them so they would be more flavorful, but not-so-much did it work. Might buy a more spendy brand & mix them, but in meantime, anyone have any ideas on how to make these cheap brands taste better ?
Thanks !
Did you know that the famous Illy coffee was founded by a Hungarian businessman and inventor? Ferenc Illy was also the first in the world to use vacuum packaging to keep roasted coffee fresh, and his invention, the first automatic coffee machine revolutionised coffee making. His company, illycaffรฉ is over 80 years old, szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes. Ferenc Illy was born on October 7, 1892, in Temesvรกr (Timiศoara), in todayโs Romania. At 22, he was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army and he served at several fronts during World War I. After the war, he settled in Trieste, Northern Italy, and this is where the story of coffee begins. Trieste traded mainly in coffee at the time, as well as with tropical fruit, wine, oil, and building materials. Illy found work at companies dealing with cocoa and coffee roasting, and he fell in love with a Trieste woman. His grandson, Andrea Illy wrote that his grandfather had three great loves: Trieste, coffee, and the lovely Doris. Francesco Illy.

He also swapped oxygen for nitrogen to preserve the coffee for longer in the hermetically sealed containers. 3+1 authentic tea houses in Budapest In 1933, Ferenc, or as he was known in Italy, Francesco, founded his own company, illycaffรฉ. This was a brave endeavour, because over 60 coffee companies existed in Trieste at the time, dating back to the 1800s. In 1935, Illy had another invention which revolutionised coffee making. He created the worldโs first automatic coffee machine which used steam instead of pressurised water. The Illetta became the predecessor of todayโs espresso machine.

Ernesto also established the Universitรก del Caffรฉ, which organises courses on high-quality coffee-making all around the world, including Budapest. Illycafรฉ is currently run by the third generation of the family, Ferenc Illyโs grandson Andrea Illy. Photos: illy.com, wikipeia.org, twitter.com/illyusa
