illy Classico Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 100% Arabica, Ideal for Filter/Cafetiere Preparation, 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 longer Cons: ❌ Pressurised tin pops a bit on first open – Just be cautious and slow Final 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.

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.

This coffee is so enjoyable and i drink it every morning. I also really like the packaging as I am able to re-use it for storage, art products, and several applications. I was dissapointed that my last order included jars without lids. not only did this mean my re-use options were limited but it also meant that once open I had to transfer the contents to a less appropriate container.

Love the coffee

I really like the taste of this product, which is sold in cafes. It's great to be able to find it on Amazon, and the offers are so affordable. Illy truly has a very high-quality flavor. The fact that it's sold in a box makes it easy to use and allows me to use it for a long time without spoiling. Thank you.

Really impressed with this coffee. Smooth/no bitterness. I don’t like strong coffee and I have read so many reviews on so many. I had bought a cafetière and wanted a milder roast. I normally drink de-caf instant, but A certain well known brand’ has dropped the quality and upped the price. This was truly a shot in the dark. For approx 500ml water For ‘not strong’ but tasty coffee I used 1+1/2 level scoops and for me this was perfect. I will be buying more.

Frustratingly lovely filter coffee, I can’t grind my fresh beans to this quality to make filter coffee as good. Grinding perfection in a tin

Disappointing taste

Gran café, con notas bastante neutrales, nada exagerado, gran aroma y pospuesto, gran sabor¡¡ aunque hablando de café, es increíble la variedad que existe, este entra en uno de los mejores

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. 😞

ممتاز صناعه ايطاليه لكن استغربت فيه كلام صيني لكن ماعليه الطعم فنان وتحديدا نفس ماكدونالدز كافيه

Le café est très bon, agréable

Super lecker. Mehr gibt es nicht zu sagen!
