I know they're Italian -- both those brands show up here in America as well, although Illy seems to have much better availability here. (I don't know any German coffee brands, come to think of it. I suspect what they had in the coffee vending machine at Eurofurence was German, and it was terrible, but I've never had *good* coffee from a vending machine...)
At least the Illy seemed to be pretty close to what I've had here in the USA, although perhaps a bit fresher. I wonder if that might be at least part of what you're tasting as a difference between Italy and Germany.
