illy Ground Moka Coffee

My husband’s absolute favorite espresso for his Bialetti.

Background: I use a Moka Pot every morning for my coffee. I have always just ground whole bean coffee I like and played with grind size to get it right. Out of curiosity I decided to try an Italian coffee ground specifically for the Moka Pot to see what a “proper” Moka experience should be. The quality of the coffee itself is hard to speak on. I’m not sure what “good” Italian coffee is supposed to taste like. Folks on Illy’s website seem to think their coffee is quite consistent with what they experienced in Italy. For me, the flavors and aromas of this coffee seemed cheap and basic. Very little complexity. I was left thinking ‘well, it’s coffee.’ The true issue I take with this coffee is not it’s lackluster personality, but it’s preparation. The website and the can specifically note that this coffee is made for the Moka Pot (pictured on the can). However, the grind of this coffee is so fine, it falls right through the holes in the funnel and is pressed up through the holes in the base of the pot when brewing. This coffee is ground for espresso and in my opinion is no good for any other purpose. Ultimately, I find the advertising misleading, and this product a waste of money and time. Aside from this product itself, it did ship quickly and arrived earlier than expected.

I always buy this for my moka pot - amazing coffee

I’ve been getting illy Coffee delivered for 3 - 4 months now. It’s without doubt the best coffee I’ve ever had. I use the pour over method of coffee preparation. Best flavor, no bitterness.

I have a standing order for 8 camns every 6 weeks which is nercessary since I can;t find the grind locally, every store around herr carriers ground coffee for drip.

I don’t normally like coffee but this I like

Great fresh coffee! Shipping took a little longer than expected. Thank you illy

I’ve always bought this coffee, was having difficulty finding it everywhere. So happy I’ve been ordering on line.
