IllyArabica Selections Ethiopia Whole Bean Coffee, 100% Arabica Bean Single Origin Coffee, Light Roast with Notes of Jasmine, All-Natural, No Preservatives, 8.8 Ounce Can (Pack of 1)

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.

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 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

I generally prefer a dark roast for my "regular" coffee, but a medium roast is usually recommended for Turkish coffee. I didn't much like the pre-ground Turkish coffees I'd found, and since I have a hand grinder that will do the ultra-fine grind you need for Turkish, I decided to try an 8 oz package of the Illy.It works very well for that purpose, and I probably will not buy the pre-ground Turkish coffees again; this tastes much better. It's a bit expensive per ounce, but since I'll only be using a couple of teaspoons at a time, the 8 oz pack should last for a while.I also tried making my regular morning coffee with this, grinding it a little less fine and using a Moka Pot, adding extra water afterward for an "Americano". It was fine that way too, better than other medium roasts I've had, but I think I'll stick with dark roasts for everything except Turkish coffee.

Exactly what I expected and great price too. This is hands down the best code on the planet. Super smooth and taste above and beyond any other I’ve ever tasted.

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.

Excellent!! ...For flavor and robust body. Perfect screw on metal container to keep it fresh. I only started drinking coffee in my senior years and I tried several brands. Fortunately after viewing a documentary on the History Channel, on the story of their product, I thought I'd give it a try and boy O' boy was I happy that I did. As I said in the beginning...Excellent!!

Coffee is fine but packaging is not really there. The pretty thin tin always arrives mutilated or battered beyond recognition. Someone has got to enclose it into another box, these "environmental" savings aren't working very well for the tin.
