illyCoffee - Classico Filter Coffee - Medium Roast - 100% Arabica Coffee - 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 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.

Good quality, carefully sealed and packed for delivery. Excellent to start the day with perfect cup of smooth coffee. Love the brand, stylish and functional easy to re-use tin. Always good overall experience. Good value for money and quick delivery service. I recommend the brand, product and the seller.

illy Classico Ground Coffee is a good tasting coffee that works well in my espresso machine and offers good value.I really appreciate the premium, pressurized tin and initially thought it would be great for preserving freshness - which it is, before you open it. However, a significant drawback is that the container isn't actually airtight once opened. The strong coffee smell constantly escaped and filled whichever cupboard I stored it in. When I cleaned the tin out for recycling, I tested this by filling it with water and turning it upside down - sure enough, it leaked from the lid, confirming the poor seal.Because of this, I had to transfer the grounds to a proper airtight container to keep them from going stale. While I enjoy the coffee itself, the tin isn't suitable for storage after being opened.

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.

Nice quality CoffeeIt does the job tastes nice and the packagingis really good also.

Thought I would try this ground coffee and I am not disappointed. Much cheaper here than my local supermarket

Very nice coffee and even better that it has been at a lower price for quite a while now. I use it in an espresso machine and it makes a lovely crema and the espresso has a lovely taste and is great for americano too

Taste is great and I have been drinking this coffee for over a year now since pregnancy.However, this last batch that has been order is exploding when being opened.... all fun and games the first time. But when this has happened again (over my finally cleaned kitchen at 7am in the morning with a sleepless night from a crying baby), this is frustrating.
