Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between illy Classico Moka and illy Classico Espresso grind?
A: Both use the same illy Classico 100% Arabica blend, but the grind size differs. Moka grind is coarser than espresso grind, optimized for the pressure and extraction dynamics of a Moka pot stovetop brewer. Using the wrong grind can result in under- or over-extraction.
Q: Is illy Classico suitable for drip coffee makers?
A: This specific tin is ground for Moka pot preparation. For drip coffee makers, illy offers a separate drip grind version. Using Moka grind in a drip machine may result in a slightly stronger, denser cup.
Q: How long does an open tin of illy ground coffee stay fresh?
A: Once opened, store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. For best flavor, use within 2–4 weeks of opening. The pressurized tin keeps coffee fresh until first opening.
Q: Which pack size offers the best value?
A: The Pack of 6 offers the best per-tin price at $15.00/tin (~17% savings) and qualifies for free shipping on orders over $70 — ideal for daily illy drinkers.
