illy Decaf Ground Coffee, Medium Roast, 100% Arabica, Perfect Grind for Espresso Makers, 250g Tin

A great decaf ground coffee for espresso machines! I have a bean-to-cup espresso machine, so it's a bit of a pain swapping out the beans to make a cup of decaf, but this works a treat. Good aroma, great taste and the perfect grind for espresso machines.

Tasty and like the advert states decaf coffee obviously you make it how you like it, it was to strong for me even adding in a little coffee, however it wasnt for me but my brother who loved it!

I decided to try this illy coffee because I wanted a cup that still felt rich and full bodied even though it’s caffeine free. The 250g tin is a handy size and knowing it’s made from 100 percent Arabica beans and a medium roast gave me hope for something decent. The first few brews hit nicely smooth rounded flavour with hints of caramel and a clean finish that left nothing bitter in the cup. The taste profile includes caramel, chocolate and toasted bread with a sweet aftertaste and on my espresso machine that came through quite well. What I particularly liked is that it gave me something closer to proper coffee even though it’s decaf. It held up well as a plain espresso and felt just right when I had it with a splash of milk. On the other hand it’s not completely flawless. If you compare it side by side with a freshly roasted caffeinated specialty bean you will notice it lacks a little of the brightness or depth you sometimes get with premium roasts. Also because it comes pre ground, it doesn’t give you the same freshness you’d get by grinding beans yourself. That being said for the convenience and quality you’re getting, I think it delivers very well and would recommend this.

Used for cocktails. Very good quality

I normally enjoy quite a dark roast but recently I’ve had to switch to decaf for health reasons so I’ve been looking for a decaf that’s not really weak. This one is the best I’ve tried yet. It has a really nice deep flavour and works perfectly in my espresso machine. Would definitely recommend and will be buying again. Also like how it comes in a tin to prolong freshness and can be reused for something once the coffee is gone.

Best decaffeinated coffee I've tried. Good depth of flavour.

Not the best. Acidic flavour. Coffee is very fine so it will over pour in an espresso machine from the water pressure. Pack lightly. Nutty aroma but I wouldn’t purchase again. The tin is great for my coffee beans though! Open with care. apparently others have had it explode?? Just follow the instructions on the lid inside.

I make this with my Delonghi Dedica espresso machine, and I drink it daily after lunch. I normally have three coffees a day (two caffeinated in the morning, one after lunch), but the afternoon caffeine was disrupting my sleep, so I decided to try decaf. Honestly, I was sceptical about the taste, but Illy hasn't disappointed. It delivers that proper Italian espresso flavour: smooth, medium strength, rich without being too bitter (Intensity 5/9). The taste is slightly lighter and less dense than my morning caffeinated espresso, but it's still genuinely good. No weird "decaf" aftertaste or flatness. The crema is great: visually you can't tell the difference between this and my caffeinated espresso. Not for everyone though: if you prefer light roasts and their brighter, acidic taste, or floral/fruity notes, this won't be your thing. It's more traditional, classic espresso profile. Practical side: the grind works well in my Dedica, no clogging or mess. The tin keeps it fresh for weeks, and it's become my reliable afternoon ritual. Bottom line: if you want proper-tasting Italian espresso without the afternoon caffeine hit, this delivers. Great value for money too: Amazon usually has the best price compared to supermarkets.

自宅でillyのコーヒーが淹れられるのがありがたいです。香りも味も良く、リピートしています。

Used aeropress for the coffee. It came out great. Would preferred whole bean but happy with the purchase

Illy Decaf is the only decaf coffee that doesn’t make me jittery or give me headaches, and it actually tastes like real coffee. The flavor is rich, smooth, and full-bodied, with a perfect crema when brewed in my DeLonghi Magnifica Evo. Even my friends, who are serious coffee drinkers, couldn’t tell it was decaf! What really sets it apart is that it’s water-processed, not chemically decaffeinated. Since I try to eat clean, I pay attention to these things, and this method is the cleanest and healthiest way to make decaf. You can taste the purity in every cup. I’m already buying my third can, which says a lot. It’s consistent, high-quality, and worth every penny for anyone who loves coffee but wants to avoid caffeine without compromising flavor

Great taste. Wouldn't taste the difference to real coffee. Price a little too high.

lovely aroma but pls note, it is for ONE tin not 12 tins in the description.
