Illy Classico Whole Bean 250 g

Illy Classico is a premium blend of 100% Arabica beans sourced from nine selected plantations in Brazil, Africa, India, Colombia, and Central America. The coffee is medium roasted, ensuring a smooth, balanced flavor without pronounced acidity or bitterness.

The blend is packaged in original airtight tin cans, which significantly prolongs freshness and preserves the aroma and oils inside for up to two years from the roasting date. The package size is 250 g.

The flavor of Illy Classico is delicate yet complex – characterized by notes of caramel, orange blossom, jasmine, chocolate, and nuts with a pleasant sweetness and medium-low intensity (about 5/10 according to the manufacturer, or ~2.5/5 in independent tests).

It leaves a slightly sweet impression in the mouth without sharp acidity, with a creamy reddish-brown foam (crema) that lingers even after stirring the drink.

It is ideal for espresso preparation, but is versatile enough for cappuccino, latte, or mocha and filtered coffee. Recommended as a suitable choice for everyday drinking – due to its lower caffeine content (about 1.5%, or lower caffeine level), it is also suitable for more sensitive consumers or those who want to enjoy multiple cups a day.
