No, Steve. illy makes whole bean coffee and ground coffee, sold in great metal cans:
http://www.illyusa.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/subcat_coffee_coffee_whole-bean I buy the whole bean for my coffee at home, and sometimes to grind at work as well. Since it takes time and makes noise to grind coffee, I bought a machine from illy USA that takes pods of pre-ground coffee, as well as normal coffee, using two different inserts. I have tried many "designer coffees." To me, the caffe I drank it Italy was better, so when I discovered almost everyone there uses illy, now I use illy in both whole bean and pre-ground pod formats, depending on time and how much noise I feel comfortable making.
