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.

Review: Rich Flavor Without Being Too Strong — My Favorite Coffee - I’ve purchased this coffee twice already, which says a lot because I tend to stick with products only when I truly enjoy them. This Illy Classico medium roast espresso coffee has become one of my favorites. The flavor is rich, smooth, and well-balanced without being overly strong or bitter. For me, it has the perfect strength — flavorful and satisfying without tasting overpowering. I enjoy coffee with good flavor, but I don’t want something too intense, and this hits the sweet spot. One thing I also appreciate is the packaging. My can arrived in perfect condition, well sealed, and the coffee tasted very fresh when opened. I’ve seen some reviews mention dented cans, but fortunately that was not my experience. Mine arrived exactly as expected. If you enjoy a smooth, flavorful espresso-style coffee that tastes premium without being too harsh or strong, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. ## Features - Medium roast - 100% sustainably-grown arabica coffee beans for a smooth, perfectly balanced taste ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DTR9R9Q | | Age Range Description | 18+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #131 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #2 in Ground Coffee | | Brand | illy | | Brand Name | illy | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeinated | | Caffeine Content Per Serving | 147.5 milligrams | | Coffee Blend Name | Classico | | Coffee Roast Level | Medium Roast | | Coffee Type | Coffee Bean | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 11,725 Reviews | | Diet Type | Plant Based | | Each Unit Count | 8.8 | | Flavor | Classico Medium Roast Ground Espresso | | Item Dimensions | 5.8 x 5.7 x 4.5 inches | | Item Form | Ground | | Item Package Weight | 0.39 kg | | Item Type Name | illy Classico Espresso Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, Classic Roast with Notes of Chocolate & Caramel, 100% Arabica Coffee, All-Natural, No Preservatives, 8.8 Ounce, Ground for Espresso Machines | | Item Volume | 205.5 ml | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Liquid Contents Description | Beverage Type Not Listed | | Manufacturer | illy | | Model Number | 733411000078 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Information | Can | | Package Size Name | 8.8 Ounce | | Part Number | 733411000078 | | Product Shelf Life | 180 days | | Roast Level | Medium Roast | | Size | 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Special Ingredients | Coffee | | Specialty | Kosher Certified | | Sweetness Description | Moderately Sweet | | UPC | 733411000078 | | Unit Count | 8.8 Ounce | | Variety | Arabica | ## Product Details - **Brand:** illy - **Caffeine Content Description:** Caffeinated - **Flavor:** Classico Medium Roast Ground Espresso - **Item Form:** Ground - **Roast Level:** Medium Roast ## Images ![Ground Espresso Coffee, Classico Medium Roast, 8.8 oz | 100% Arabica, Premium Italian Coffee, Pre-Ground for Espresso Machines - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FyR017itL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## 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! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Illy Classico Ground Espresso Coffee Review *by A***A on December 10, 2025* An Espresso Experience Beyond Expectation Illy Classico Ground Espresso Coffee, Medium Roast, delivers a truly exceptional at-home coffee experience that borders on gourmet.
