illyCoffee - Decaf Ground Coffee - Medium Roast - 100% Arabica Decaffeinated Coffee - Perfect Grind for Espresso 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.

You always feel like the coffee is premium when it comes from a tin and in all honesty this doesn't disappoint this coffee has a lovely flavour and aroma to it and isnt bitter to taste. I know there are more simple ways of making coffee but it's lovely to make a espresso In your moka pot, this coffee is great quality and value for money.

Good quality coffee for moka pots. The grind works well, and the flavour is smooth with a bit of a chocolatey taste. Just use lower heat and take the pot off the stove toward the end of brewing. I added a paper filter under the basket, which made it even better, a cleaner cup. It’s a bit more expensive than other brands when not on sale, but worth it. I do wish the canister was airtight. I usually finish the coffee within 2–3 weeks of opening and haven’t had any issues with it going stale. I store the canister in the fridge after opening. Solid choice.

illy Coffee - Classico Ground Coffee - Medium Roast is a great tasting smooth coffee that tastes strong enough but with no bitter aftertaste. I use it in my espresso machine and am very happy with the results and think it makes great tasting lattes. This is a good size tub and I think it’s good value for money.

Great coffee, cheaper on Amazon than the supermarket, nice and strong

Good quality coffe,

The only coffee we drink, nice taste and cheaper than in supermarket.

Trying to replace my instant coffee, before I bankrupt myself buying discontinued Lavazza intenso and substitutes. This is the best of a bad lot, very gritty, but at least bears some resemblance to real coffee. I will try their intenso and hope for the best.
