## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma. To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results. We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced. To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi. Does this have a kosher certification on it?**
A: I have two tins of Illy ground decaf (blue stripes). One has a circle U and the other doesn't. So there is a built-in inconsistency. That's the best info I can provide.

**Q: is this gluten free?**
A: There is nothing on the can indicating that is gluten free

**Q: To Mfr:  Arabica coffee beans are supposed to contain no caffeine?  Does this item (Classico Medium Roast) have caffeine or not?**
A: On average, Arabica beans contain 1.1% caffeine by weight, which equates to 8-12 mg/g of caffeine. In comparison, Robusta beans have 18-20 mg/g of caffeine. This means that a cup of brewed 100% Arabica coffee (approximately 8 ounces) contains about 85 mg of caffeine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by F***N on 27 December 2025*

Excellent coffee for being instant. I'm a fan of very intense French and Italian roast coffees, which I make most mornings in a French press. But I'm always in search of a quality instant for a quick and easy afternoon cup...this suits the bill. Although I probably use twice as much per cup as some people might, it has a nice full flavor with almost no "mystery" hints of flavor that some cheaper instant coffee has. I will definitely buy this again.
