## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma. To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results. We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced. To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

Review: Illy Classico Ground Espresso Coffee Review - An Espresso Experience Beyond Expectation Illy Classico Ground Espresso Coffee, Medium Roast, delivers a truly exceptional at-home coffee experience that borders on gourmet. This 100% Arabica blend, packaged in an 8.8-ounce pressurized can, maintains a stunning freshness that is immediately apparent upon opening. It's a coffee that doesn't just wake you up; it offers a moment of rich, smooth pleasure—a must-try for any coffee enthusiast. Key Quality Breakdown This medium-roast blend is meticulously balanced, presenting a complex yet harmonious profile. It successfully avoids the common pitfalls of bitterness, achieving a clean, vibrant taste that is both inviting and deeply satisfying. Aroma The initial scent is a luxurious promise of what's to come. It possesses a great aroma that is immediately rich and alluring, featuring prominent hints of chocolatey richness and sweet caramel. The overall impression is romantic and bold, setting the stage for a superior brew. Acidity (Brightness) The acidity is perfectly managed—not sour or aggressive, but rather a pleasing bright quality that keeps the profile lively. This clean brightness contributes to the coffee's well-rounded feel, preventing it from tasting heavy or flat, and maintaining a fresh, vibrant character. Body (Mouthfeel) Illy Classico boasts a full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. The texture is luxurious and substantial, coating the palate without feeling oily or chalky. It is a mellow yet decisive body that speaks to the high quality of the Arabica beans and expert roasting. Flavor Notes The flavor profile is wonderfully complex and rewarding. The core flavors are clearly defined: deep chocolate notes blend seamlessly with a sweet caramel undertone. Beneath these, one can discern subtle, delicate fruity and nutty elements that add layers of sophistication. This combination results in a truly delicious and bold taste that remains utterly smooth. Sweetness This coffee achieves a natural, inherent sweet quality that is perfectly balanced—it is sweet without being cloying. This characteristic, coupled with the absence of any bitter taste, is a hallmark of its high quality, making it enjoyable even without added sugar. Aftertaste (Finish) The finish is perhaps its most compelling feature. It leaves a long, pleasant finish that is clean and satisfying. The aftertaste echoes the rich caramel and chocolate notes, fading gracefully without any lingering astringency. It confirms the coffee's overall refinement, leaving the palate feeling refreshed and satisfied. Quality Aspect Description Roast Medium Aroma Great, rich, chocolatey, caramel, romantic Acidity/Brightness Clean, bright, vibrant, balanced Body/Mouthfeel Smooth, full-bodied, mellow Flavor Notes Chocolatey, caramel, fruity, nutty, delicious, complex, bold Sweetness Natural sweet, perfectly balanced Aftertaste Pleasant finish, smooth, non-bitter, clean fade Conclusion: Illy Classico Ground Espresso Coffee is an exceptional blend that justifies its reputation. It moves far beyond a standard medium roast to offer an almost gourmet taste. Its combination of rich flavor, flawless smoothness, and lack of bitterness makes it a superior choice for any espresso preparation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can be used for espresso machine？**
A: Yes.  It's a finely ground coffee made perfectly for my ilavie espresso machine. After a few runs trying to make a latte, I was able to make pretty much a darn near close to Starbucks one!

**Q: Do all your cans come without lids. My son bought this for me and I want to order more but there was no lid so I hesitate ordering from you again.**
A: Mine came without a lid.  I started a return because of this and the company sent me a new can of coffee with a lid.  Good customer service although weird that they are missing lids.

**Q: are they returnable if they come without a lid? will not be purchasing from amazon after reading about containers not having lids**
A: Just ordered and it came without a lid, I called Amazon and the replaced right away.

**Q: Hi can this work with refillable k-cups?**
A: I was curious so I tried it this morning.  I have 2 of the Keurig refillable modules.  I filled the little filter inside of it right to the top just like I do with my Moka Pot.  NO tamping down, just smooth and level.  Then i selected the medium setting of my choice of 5.  The poor thing sounded like it was trying to push a car with 4 flat tires.  Maybe a 1/4 cup of coffee finally came out but it never shut off.  I didn't want it to fall apart so I shut off the power switch.  It was a mess, the grind was too fine.
So NO it wont work with the refillable k-cup!
