Illy Classico Espresso Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, Classic Roast with Notes of Chocolate & Caramel, 100% Arabica Coffee, All-Natural, No Preservatives, 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Ottimo per la moka, prezzo un pochino caro

It’s pretty decent espresso. It doesn’t give me the shakes quite like I would prefer, so I’ll probably try the intenso kind next and see how it works. I kid, I kid. This is fine. It’s good quality espresso and it’s a good value for the price. I have a moka pot, which I’m still figuring out. I don’t feel fancy enough to be buying espresso, but here we are. It’s good. If you really want the caffeine shakes though, go with the intenso kind by this same brand. This one gives you the tingles, but not the shakes.

I love illy coffee, I love the sweet notes in flavor! Didn’t double think it , just buy it!

Being an avid coffee enthusiast, I’ve sampled a myriad of brands and blends over the years. But when I brewed my first cup of Illy Classico Espresso Ground Coffee, I knew I had stumbled upon something truly special.

Opening the package, I was immediately greeted with a rich and inviting aroma. It hinted at the depth of flavors that awaited, and I was not disappointed. As the coffee brewed, my kitchen was filled with a scent that was both comforting and invigorating.

Taking that first sip was a revelation. The medium roast showcased a harmonious balance of flavors. The notes of chocolate were distinct but not overpowering, blending seamlessly with the subtle hints of caramel. It was a taste profile that was both complex and smooth, making each sip a delightful experience.

What truly stood out for me was the richness of the coffee. It was evident that this was 100% Arabica, with no fillers or additives. The absence of preservatives ensured that the coffee’s natural flavors shone through, making for a pure and authentic coffee experience.

The 8.8-ounce packaging is perfect, ensuring that the coffee remains fresh and retains its flavor profile. The seal is robust, and I’ve found that even after opening, the coffee stays fresh for weeks.

Brewing it as an espresso shot or a regular cup, the Illy Classico Espresso Ground Coffee consistently delivers. It’s become my go-to morning ritual and an afternoon pick-me-up. It’s not just a beverage; it’s a moment of indulgence, a mini escape in the midst of a hectic day.

In conclusion, the Illy Classico Espresso Ground Coffee is more than just coffee; it’s an experience. It’s a journey through flavors, a celebration of the art of coffee-making. For those seeking a coffee that’s both robust and refined, this blend is a must-try. It promises a cup that’s as invigorating as it is flavorful, making every morning a little brighter and every break a tad more enjoyable. Dive into a world where coffee is both an art and a pleasure!

Tutto OK come sempre !

I enjoy this coffee very much in my 6-cup (medium) Bialetti Venus moka espresso pot. Maybe I sacrifice a bit of flavor because it’s pre-ground but it’s just too convenient to pass up. I actually prefer the flavor of this coffee to the coffee from Bialetti for moka espresso pots.

One mistake I always made with my older moka espresso pot is that I always thought you had to completely fill the grounds holder (I’m sure every video I ever watched on this had the person filling it so I don’t blame myself too much). Don’t fill the grounds holder to the top – that’s way too much ground coffee to brew a good cup of coffee. Because the result was too bitter and strong, I never used my old espresso pot that much. I fill the holder halfway (11g of grounds) and the result is perfect. Keep in mind that this solution is TOTALLY based on my variables. You would have to experiment if you wanted to copy this “technique”. And keep in mind…the goal with the moka espresso pot is to brew good coffee, not good espresso. Espresso can only be made with a pressurized coffee maker.
