illyCoffee Beans - Single Origin Beans - Brazil Cerrado Mineiro - 100% Arabica - Regenerative Agriculture Certified - Ideal For Moka Pots and Filter - 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.

Just good coffee. I’ve always liked Illy coffee and this rates great when made in the moka pot.

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.

Very pleased with my order.

Good coffee for my percolator

This Coffee is amazing, will on purchase this item when on special. Everyone loves a bargain.

This decaf coffee is excellent 👍

This is good ground coffee for the espresso machine. I won't say this is the best. For same price some other brands are better and you can get better tasting yet cheaper coffee in supermarkets.It comes in a container which you can seal well - which is a good thing.Mild version is good but the darker roast is too bitter.If you serving espresso to someone whose test you don't know, this is probably the best coffee to try with.
