Classico Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 100% Arabica, Coarse Grind for Cafetiere & Filter Coffee, Suitable for Drip Coffee Makers, 250g Tin

I’ve been buying illy Classico Filter Coffee regularly for a while now, and it’s become my go-to daily brew. It’s smooth, mild, and perfect for filter coffee machines or a French press. Even though it’s classed as a medium roast, it tastes lighter than many others, which makes it ideal for all-day sipping without being too strong or bitter.The aroma is absolutely lovely—you get that hit of fresh, sweet scent the moment you pop open the tin (and let’s be honest, opening a new tin of coffee is half the joy!). I’ve found it to be good value for money, especially given the consistent quality and balanced flavour. It tastes fresh straight from the tin, and the lid reseals well, keeping the coffee in great condition between uses.If I had one small warning—it’s about the initial opening. The tin is a bit pressurised, so when you pull the tab, the coffee can almost burst out if you're not careful. I recommend opening it slowly and on a flat surface. Not a huge issue, just something to be aware of.I’m now considering trying the whole bean version so I can grind it myself and fine-tune the flavour even more—especially if I want to control coarseness for different brew methods.Pros:✅ Smooth, mild flavour – Perfect for all-day drinking✅ Lovely aroma – Especially when first opened✅ Great in filter machines & cafetières✅ Good value – Premium feel without a sky-high price✅ Lid reseals well – Keeps coffee fresher for longerCons:❌ Pressurised tin pops a bit on first open – Just be cautious and slowFinal Thoughts:This is a reliable, quality coffee that delivers on taste, smoothness, and aroma. If you want something that’s easy to drink, great in a filter machine, and pleasantly fragrant, illy’s Classico filter grind is a great choice—and a lovely way to start the day.Would I recommend it? Absolutely. A classy coffee, without the fuss.

Good flavour, a constant purchase for the family.

The taste is good, but the caffeine is below average.

Great value for money compared to buying in the supermarkets.The container ensures ease of use, as it ensures the coffee maintains its shelf life however, I also fell in love with the coffee as it was perfect strength and smoothness that just to my liking!

Been using illy coffee for years. Great quality coffee. You want to also try their instant coffee

This is a lovely tasting coffee. Not bitter or harsh. I use a simple drip coffee maker and it is one of the top two brands of coffee I always select.A good sized tin which lasts a while and you can keep the tin to reuse it over and over for other coffees that come in the pouches etc.It has a decent seal.Recommended.

Best coffee ! 💛

Purchased as a gift for someone after being recommended by another coffee lover. Unfortunately the seal of the tin is a little strong which resulted in coffee everywhere. Even though this is highly recommended, we still found ourselves reaching for a different coffee over time.

Original product of illy coffee.

I gave 3-stars for 2 reasons… First off, 5-stars for the coffee. Nothing wrong with the coffee -in my opinion this one of the better coffees. Now 0-stars for Amazon. I was absolutely disappointed when my friend received this coffee I had ordered for her and the can came with no lid. AND I paid double the price of $26 not to receive a lid. I have to ask do the workers not inspect the package before going out?Now I just ordered another 2 cans for my friend at a lesser cost, so we wait and see if Amazon provides lids with these coffee cans. 😞

Of the globally available brands, Illy is the best coffee I found; sort of justifies the 2x price over Lavazza.However, sometimes very old stock is shipped by vendors on Amazon, a couple of months short of 2 year life.

j'aime beaucoup ce café, il n'est pas fort du coup on peut en prendre sans se sentir mal après, et il a un bon goût

Excelente café
