Do you long for a cup of coffee that represents the absolute design and gastronomic peak of Italian coffee culture? Ground Espresso coffee from the Classico series (traditional medium roast) from the globally iconic illy roaster from Trieste is a legendary work of art that will delight even the most demanding coffee gourmets. This exclusive, time-tested blend is made exclusively from nine of the best varieties of 100% high-altitude Arabica in the world, which are hand-picked and selected with uncompromising precision. The beans undergo a gentle medium roast that perfectly integrates the natural sweetness, the delicate characteristics of the beans and develops a noble, silky smooth cup with a long-lasting bittersweet aftertaste that is completely free of bitter tones.

The luxurious 250g package in an iconic metal can is the perfect choice for demanding households, lovers of premium espresso and modern offices. The unique patented system of packaging under pressure (pressurization) in an inert atmosphere reliably locks all volatile aromatic substances and precious essential oils inside the can. This is 100% guaranteed that the coffee does not lose its strength, does not air out and retains its freshly roasted barista qualities for an unusually long time.

☕ Flavor profile: Sweet caramel, blooming jasmine, milk chocolate and velvety crema

Illy Espresso Classico stands out with its exceptionally noble, silky-light texture, complex aroma with a captivating hint of fresh flowers and a perfectly integrated palette of subtle tones:

• Sweet caramel and milk chocolate: The main flavor axis enchants with delicious, warm notes of soft caramel and milk chocolate, which give the coffee a stable, elegant and highly balanced base.

• Blooming Jasmine and Flowers: The aroma and subtle undertones on the palate reveal a refined, clean trail of jasmine and orange blossom, giving the drink its signature sparkle and luxurious complexity.

• Dried Fruit: A warm, clean aftertaste reveals a subtle, elegant trace of sweet dried fruit and honey.

• Velvety soft and compact foam (crema): As a 100% selected Arabica, this blend creates a beautifully soft, hazelnut-like foam with an elastic structure thanks to its masterful roasting style and precise grinding, which reliably locks the rich aroma inside the cup.
