## Description

desertcart.com : illy Ground Drip Coffee, Forte Dark Roast, 8.8 oz : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Overpriced but very good - This is a wonderful espresso blend and grind. The flavor is exceptional. The problem is the cost. desertcart and illy continue to raise the price on this through tariffs found to be illegal. When the tariff priced coffee per 8oz is now prices above $17+ means that a pound of this coffee is over $33. It is just ridiculous. So in a search to find a reasonably priced blend for desertcart shoppers that doesn’t have the excess greed attached to it, I have tried brand after brand and discovered the shade grown espresso blend at Trader Joe’s. It is $10 a pound. The flavor profile is very close to illy forte. It costs about five dollars for the 8 ounces illy charges for $17+. When this illy coffee was priced at $11 a can that was already $22 a pound but as a luxury purchase I could justify it for my business. But for $34 for one pound of this coffee it is bordering on criminal.
Review: glad that i took a chance...it's good - Ahh yum. For decades, I ignored this "canned stuff" in favor of grinding my own. Then back surgery laid me up to where I had to minimize movement save for PT. Ordered this out of desperation to bridge the time to when I could get back to grinding my own beans. This is good quality. Rich, dark and certainly not cloyng in the aftertaste. It's vacuum pack is strong, though, so you need a care in opening the cannister.
