Smooth, Mild & Full of Aroma – A Great Everyday Filter Coffee

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.

My Go-To Moka Pot Coffee

I’ve tried a lot of coffees for my Moka pot, but I keep coming back to illy’s Classico. It’s smooth, rich, and never bitter, with just the right touch of caramel and chocolate notes. The grind is spot-on for stovetop espresso, and the tin keeps it super fresh. It’s a bit of a splurge, but honestly, totally worth it for the quality and consistency. Every cup feels like a treat.

Good coffee

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.

Full Flavour and Super Smooth!

Absolutely delicious coffee, not the cheapest but not ridiculously premium money either, and in my view well worth it.

Just OK - nothing special

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.
