I'm not sure how Illy coffee stacks up to some of Sacramento's finer cafes who roast their own beans and create "Latte art" that lasts until you take your first sip, but between the hours of 1 and 4 p.m. thru Saturday, June 29, there's one thing that it'll be better at - price. At least at Sacramento-area Macaroni grills.

Head to any of the region's three Macaroni Grills and get free Illy coffee, Decaf Coffee or Iced coffee during what they call "Illy hour."

Illy is a high end coffee from Italy. Per the Web site Coffee Review: Illy is "a balanced cup for those for whom refinement is synonymous with understatement. Go easy with the whitener or sweetener or you will overwhelm the coffee."
