It's too fine for cafetieres. **Q: Can i use this in a cafetiere?** A: YES, I make this in a cafetiere everyday. It is NOT expresso coffee, which is a coarser grind, it is specifically ground finer for filtration methods. Yummy! **Q: What is filter coffee? I just want coffee you can make by pouring hot water into it from the kettle** A: Illy coffee is not instant coffee. You need to filter or push aside the coffee once the coffee has been in contact with the water for a few minutes (3 or 4 mins ideally). All the usual methods work well. I generally use a coffee press (usually called a cafetiere in the UK) but the coffee does not dissolve like instant coffee, so you need to avoid eating the grounds as that would not be pleasant. **Q: Can this be used in a smeg espresso coffee machine?** A: Yes, any method except capsule systems like Nespresso. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love love love *by M***S on 30 April 2026* Tried soo many coffees and always return to Illy.
