illyWhole Bean Coffee, Classico Medium Roast - Mild & Balanced - 100% Arabica - Whole Beans - Pressurized Packaging Sealed for Freshness - 8.8oz can (Pack of 6)

We have a Breville Coffee maker and spent a lot of time and money finding the “perfect” coffee bean to use with it. We considered things like taste, oiliness and price. Neither my husband or myself like strong coffee, so we tended to stay away from espresso beans. This coffee is just the right blend of mildness/flavor. Not too strong, not too weak. It also doesn’t leave an oily residue in our coffee grinder, which is so nice! The coffee is a little pricey but certainly won’t break the bank. And we prefer this coffee to most coffee-shop, so we save a ton of money by making our coffee at home! We love this coffee so much, we have it on subscription so we never have to go without.

Spectacular coffee. Have stopped drinking other brands !The arome is lovely. Mostly drink the decaf. Which is also wonderful.

I tried the classico it tastes good but not very strong.If you like strong coffee then go for the intenso, it’s strong and rich

For a decaf for use in my automatic Delonghi espresso machine, I would rate this pretty highly. It does produce some crema but not as much as Lavazzo Super Crema, which is my overall preferred coffee bean. However, the Illy is good for when I want to go to decaf for awhile. On the can dents ... yes, with shipping in a bag, as opposed to a box, the cans are going to be dented since they are made from very thin material. As long as the seal is broken, I don't mind this at all. Besides, the whole can is going to be dumped into the bean hopper on opening, so this is not an issue that should bother anybody.

This coffee reminds me of those boutique coffee beans that have a bit of a citric taste, almost savory taste to it. It's not my choice for everyday coffee but I enjoy having it around for when I want a different taste.

I purchased these for when I make an espresso martini. They taste great ( yes, I chew on them). I don't drink coffee so I can't attest to how good they are for that purpose.

A classic. Love the aromas.

I’m not dropping stars because it’s not a reflection of the product itself, but I want to offer this heads up for other buyers. Amazon shipped three cans in a padded envelope and they all arrived dented. Two are actually missing the lids. If this had been a gift for someone, I would have returned them. If you care about the condition of the can, you might want to buy this from a local source.As for the coffee beans, Illy is a reputable brand with consistently high quality.
