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.
Review: classic - Good flavour, a constant purchase for the family.

## 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.
