Review: Intenso for cafetieres - Delicious coffee with a stronger, fuller taste. My go-to choice and ideal for the first cup of the day to get you started. Grind size is fine for my cafetiere and aeropress. However, not for the first time the tin was delivered without its lid. This is the third time this year (I get it delivered every three weeks with the occasional emergency tin ordered separately). Once again I had to get the lid from the empty tin out of the recylcing bin to use on the new tin, which is kind of keeping in the spirit of recycling I guess, and not the end of the world but... once the vacuum lid is taken off there would have been no way to keep the coffee fresh. Especially annoying if the recycling had been collected before opening the new tin.
Review: 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 longer Cons: ❌ Pressurised tin pops a bit on first open – Just be cautious and slow Final 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a cafetiere, thanks**
A: No, this is espresso. It's too fine for cafetieres.

**Q: Can i use this in a cafetiere?**
A: YES, I make this in a cafetiere everyday. It is NOT expresso coffee, which is a coarser grind, it is specifically ground finer for filtration methods. Yummy!

**Q: What is filter coffee? I just want coffee you can make by pouring hot water into it from the kettle**
A: Illy coffee is not instant coffee. You need to filter or push aside the coffee once the coffee has been in contact with the water for a few minutes (3 or 4 mins ideally). All the usual methods work well.  I generally use a coffee press (usually called a cafetiere in the UK) but the coffee does not dissolve like instant coffee, so you need to avoid eating the grounds as that would not be pleasant.

**Q: Can this be used in a smeg espresso coffee machine?**
A: Yes, any method except capsule systems like Nespresso.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value, Good Taste, But The Tin Isn't Airtight
*by M***S on 5 July 2025*

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.
