    COOL MEASURING SPOON! (on illy 7 Gram Stainles...)

    Son Ton | Sun, 05/27/2012

    This is a cool measuring spoon. I usually use the plastic one that come along with so many coffee purchases but this is an awsome change!

    DECENT COFFEE (on illy Whole Bean Coff...)

    samuellaw178 | Thu, 03/29/2012

    If you're here on ROASTe, I am sure you're looking for the best of the crops, right? Illy coffee is pretty decent on its own. Upon arrival, it tasted quite decent and definitely above the league of Starbucks. However, when you're comparing to other coffees here on ROASTe, this is definitely below the game. Plus, for the price, I am sure you will do much better with other coffees here. The coffee is definitely acceptable for me and I would survive with it. But amongst the infinite choices of coffee today, I definitely won't miss or be looking back. However, Goodman is definitely a good vendor. The coffee was shipped very quickly! A thumb up for them. I would give 5/5 to the vendor if there is an option

    BEST ESPRESSO GRIND COFFEE (on illy Fine Espresso G...)

    lajh804 | Fri, 03/09/2012

    This is the best espresso grind coffee I've found for my at home coffee fixes. The espresso is a great quality and very smooth. Roaste.com offers the best price for illy coffee. If you have an espresso maker at home, I'd recommend going with illy.

    JUST OK! (on illy Espresso Coffee...)

    scmunkers | Fri, 03/09/2012

    Very easy to use and if you are in a hurry then... maybe. I would have to brew 2 pods to make a decent latte. I now grind my own espresso to make lattes now. I have tried both these and the dark espresso pods and they are the same flavor :(

    Not as good as the reviews. Very easy to use and if you are in a hurry then... maybe. I would have to brew 2 pods to make a decent latte. I now grind my own espresso to make lattes now.

    STALE COFFEE (on illy Fine Espresso G...)

    avaserfi | Tue, 01/31/2012

    Was given this as a gift. Stale coffee is all that happens when you get preground. That said, this was better than most preground coffees I've had.

    A DELICIOUS CLASSIC! (on illy Moka Stovetop G...)

    Aaron McCarty | Wed, 01/18/2012

    What a delicious classic espresso-like brew. Tastes rich and bold from my Moka Pot. Only 3 stars because there are just too many others out there that are better (tough competition for one of the original roasters).

    WOW! (on illy Moka Stovetop G...)

    ifmywordsdidglow8 | Sun, 01/15/2012

    I generally avoid purchasing coffee pre-ground. However, this was incredibly fresh, aromatic, flavorful, and overall a superior cup of coffee. This rivals the fresh beans roasted a few blocks away from my home. I will be purchasing this again!

    The convenience of the Illy pods is a definite bonus. The authentic taste and aroma of the Illy espresso blend shines through. Cannot beat the simplicity!

    What else is there to say - the illy logo means style and quality in the coffee world - why not have a stylish spoon - you deserve it!

    NOT BAD FOR ESTIMATED DOSE (on illy 7 Gram Stainles...)

    samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011

    If you want to get exactly 7g, it's best to get a scale to measure it. This scoop is just to estimate your coffee dose. It might fluctuate between 1-2g according to the roast level and bean type.

    samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011

    I have got two of these demitasse spoon but have found that I never use them. Looks good to serve on a saucer with this but not necessary.

    MY GO-TO COFFEE (on illy Fine Espresso G...)

    Easily my favorite coffee by far. Smooth without a trace of bitterness - and it works wonderfully with our Chemex.

    NICE (on illy Demitasse Espre...)

    jbviau | Mon, 11/21/2011

    But for this price I'd go with something cheaper since I don't care about the logo.
