Frequently Asked Questions
Does illy Classico Ground Espresso contain allergens?
Ground coffee is not itself one of the major food allergens, but products can be processed in facilities that handle other ingredients nearby. If you have a specific sensitivity, check the printed label on the tin, because packaging and facility notices can be updated between production runs.
How should I store illy Classico Ground Espresso after opening?
Reseal the tin tightly after each use and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Ground coffee loses aroma faster than whole beans once opened, so use the tin within a few weeks for the fullest caramel and jasmine flavor.
What is the best way to brew illy Classico Ground Espresso?
Use an espresso machine with about 7 to 9 g per shot, tamped evenly, or a moka pot with the basket filled level and no tamping. The fine grind is made for pressurized brewing, so it is not a good match for drip machines or French press.
Can I order illy Classico Ground Espresso in packs for a café or office?
Yes. The 8.8 oz tin comes as a single or a Pack of 6. A multipack puts six identical tins in one order, which suits small cafés, offices with an espresso machine and households that drink espresso daily and want a steady supply.
