Review: A fine dark bold roast with a delicious fruity aftertaste. - Sealed in a pressurised can for freshness, this coffee really hits the right notes for those who prefer a dark roast and all of the sensory delight this offers. The hit of the roast is bold at first, whilst this then mellows to leasure such a fresh, zesty and citrus-like aftertaste that is so nice and cleanses the palette. I find this coffee to be of good value and many cups at a rate of 3-tablespoons per-cup can be had from this one 250g tin. As usual, the quality of Illy is apparent when you compare this to others available. If you are new to this brand, I am certain you will notice it too and remain with this roast. I'd highly recommend this to all.
Review: Good for my coffee maker. Nice robust flavour. - Makes a good espresso with my coffee maker. Very finely ground so I don't tamp the grounds too firmly.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it be used in a cafeteria**
A: It’s not the right grind. Illy do a specific cafetière grind. If you look on the espresso tin you’ll see an image of an espresso cup: the cafetière specific grind has am image of a cafetière instead of an espresso cup. Hope this helps. Happy Christmas.

**Q: Why is there a bulge and tin distortion on the bottom of some cans? How does this effect the coffee?**
A: Nope.

**Q: What are the animal ingredients or processes that mean this coffee is vegetarian and not vegan?**
A: Mmmm not sure and it's just coffee beans  bit I would imagine that an animal probably a donkey was used in the field to load the raw beans onto. Hence not vegan.

**Q: Suitable for an Italian stovetop coffee maker?**
A: Yes, it will have a slightly scorched flavour, but any coffee will if it’s made on the stove. I use Illy in a Gaggia espresso machine at home, but when we are camping in the summer, I use it on the stove. Takes a day or two to get used to the change but it’s really fine.

Always such good quality. Good strength also which means you tend to use less. Amazing aroma and always a bold fresh taste. The vacuumed packaging keeps it fresh.
