Traditional Coffee - Classic
Score < 80
Traditional Coffee : These are the most widespread coffees in the various distribution channels in France, both private and professional.
Classic Coffee : There is generally a lack of information about the traceability of these coffees. They are often mass-market products and are easily accessible. The composition of these coffees can vary from 100% Arabica to over 20% Robusta.
The higher the rating, the more surprising your coffee tasting experience will be.
Three Iconic Coffees for Every Occasion
Created for espresso enthusiasts and those who prefer longer brews, this selection allows you to tailor the intensity to your preference: enjoy a balanced coffee in the morning, a bold and intense cup after meals, or a gentle decaffeinated option to wind down your day. The pack includes: Classico with a rich, fruity character and intensity level 8; Intenso, offering a spicy, full-bodied flavour at maximum intensity 10; and Decaffeinated, delivering a smooth, spicy profile at intensity 7, naturally decaffeinated without solvents. For the best experience, grind the beans just before brewing to preserve the full aroma and achieve a creamy espresso crema.
Common Questions About the Illy Coffee Beans Variety Pack
Are these coffee beans compatible with automatic machines? Absolutely, this selection is ideal for automatic machines and grinders, providing a consistently fresh and fragrant grind. Is this assortment suitable for espresso? Yes, each variety is crafted to deliver a rich and intense espresso experience.

The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
