Product: CoffeeB Illy - Coffee balls - Lungo Classico. Intensity: 5/9
Test duration: 03.12 - 13.12.2025 - Quantity 2x9 coffee balls
Test on behalf of: Migros-Community (21.11.2025)
Analysis:
Processing:
The coffee balls are intended for processing with the CoffeeB system.
When using them, dry hangings are advantageous as these coffee balls are intended for direct composting after use and are only protected by a very thin water-soluble film and remain in shape.
The cardboard box is well suited for storage after the pack has been opened and protects against indirect moisture
Taste:
Lungo Classico. Intensity: 5/9 - has a good taste, also because 100% Arabica coffee is used according to the manufacturer.
This taste is not the same as an original Italian espresso, the intensity of 5 out of 9 is too low for this.
The crema lasts long enough. The taste is retained even when cold.
A good coffee for the afternoon, not too strong.
Appearance:
The finished coffee appears sufficiently strong in color, as is expected of a coffee.
Special feature:
Additional test: Use as filter coffee - crush halved coffee balls and pour into filter.
The coffee taste is retained. Therefore only "conditionally also" suitable for filleting machines (conventional).
Sustainability:
The scalded coffee balls are intended for direct composting (cooled) and can therefore be safely disposed of as organic waste.
The packaging is made of cardboard and is intended for paper collection, the protective film should be disposed of in residual waste (combustible, but not water-soluble).
Has a fine balanced flavor I like it.
