Learn from my mistake and go get yourself an illy Moka Grind or illy Caffe Normale Whole Bean to grind yourself.With that said, this is great espresso. ATTENTION MOKA POT USERS: If you are looking for an illy espresso for your moka pot, this is NOT it. If you're a die-hard espresso connoisseur, you'll probably feel like this is worth every penny. I just don't know if my palate is sophisticated enough to make this worth the 2x premium over Lavazza. Despite what other reviewers are saying, this "fine grind" is so very wrong for your Bialetti and it simply will not work. The coffee will fall through the holes into the bottom reservoir and you'll end up with something that you really won't want to drink.
Definitely recommend for the Bialetti. The tins are nice too. To be fair, I have not tried this in my drip coffee maker, only the Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator. P.S. Great for re-use around the house. The flavor is strong but smooth. It's not as bitter/acidic as Starbucks (and I like Starbucks alot).
I have not been able to find anything better. I was first turned on to Illy when I moved to North Beach, a little Italian neighborhood in San Francisco. It is expensive, and my everyday espresso is Cafe Bustelo, but for true rich espresso with minimal bitterness, this is the bean for me. Anyone who has spent any time in Italy will tell you this is authentic Italian espresso. Not only is it authentic, it is delicious.
love this coffee -bummer it costs a bit more than the others, but still my favorite
Buy some for you, or as a gift for your favorite coffee addict friend. I however, use it in my drip coffee maker with spring water and a paper filter, at about two-thirds the usual strength of a standard drip grind. It is very potent, as the fine grind is intended for use in an espresso maker.
An ultrafine, delicate grind, almost like baby powder, with no waste. In my opinion, this is the most consistantly delicious coffee I've ever had. If you enjoy a fantastic cup of well roasted (not over-roasted) coffee, then this is for you.
It comes pressurized in nitrogen I believe, to assure it's freshness. Enjoy. Just pure concentrate of perfect coffee.
I do not work for Illy or Amazon, but simply love my morning cup.Anyway, if you have struggled to find the perfect coffee, as I have, look no further.
