4.0 out of 5 stars Illy ESE espresso pods are easy and convenient to use, August 31, 2007
By JB Gilbert (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
These Illy ESE (espresso easy serving) single-shot espresso pods are easy to use and convenient. All you need is an ESE adapter for your espresso machine. After brewing your espresso, just shake the pod out of the holder, and you're ready to brew another. Use two at once for a double shot.

The quality of the espresso from the pods is as good as ground coffee. But you trade off convenience for price. Buy these if you just make an occasional cup of espresso, if you are always on the run, or like to make several espresso shots in succession, for example, when you entertain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still my favorite, March 18, 2009
By Gil (Denver CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: illy Caffe Espresso (Medium Roast, Red Band), 18-Count E.S.E. Pods (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
Illy Cafe Medium Roast ESE pods is still my favorite with a strong fresh ground & unburnt taste. I have tried Starbucks, it has a burnt taste (common with dark roasts). I also use Lavassa Gran Crema ESE pods which comes in a close second with it's nutty aftertaste & very good crema - better & more consistent than the crema from Illy's.
It's very high cost is the only drawback.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive (more than list price!), January 21, 2008
By Vee (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The coffee makes a pretty good shot of espresso, and although I once got a tin full of loose grounds, Amazon was quick to ship me a replacement set.
However, the current price (over thirty dollars for two tins), IMO, is much higher than what you can find at other online coffee retailers, where the newer tins with individually wrapped pods sell for twenty-five per 2 tins.

These are perfect if you don't want to take the time of the normal grinding/tamping/cleaning up. Just wish they made a double shot version.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stale
I do enjoy Illy when its fresh beans, but lets get real, ground coffee has a short life span and putting in a well ventilated tissue bag doesn't preserve it at all. Read more
