Enjoy a longer and more refined coffee with illy Classico Lungo Aluminium Capsules. This medium roast delivers a smooth and balanced cup with increased volume.
Illy uses 100% Arabica beans sourced from leading coffee regions worldwide. Each bean is carefully selected to ensure consistent quality and flavour.
As a result, the illy Classico Lungo Capsules extraction creates a lighter and more extended espresso. You will notice delicate notes of caramel, orange blossom, and jasmine.
In addition, the longer brew enhances the aroma while maintaining a smooth body. This makes it ideal for those who prefer a less concentrated coffee.
Each aluminium capsule ensures precise extraction and consistent crema. Unlike lower-quality capsules, illy maintains strict quality standards.
Therefore, every cup delivers clarity, balance, and reliable performance. The capsules are designed for use with compatible Original Line machines.
Whether you enjoy coffee in the morning or throughout the day, this blend performs consistently. It offers a clean and elegant alternative to a short espresso.

Espresso vs Lungo – What’s the Difference?
Understanding the difference between espresso and lungo helps you choose the perfect coffee experience.
Espresso uses a shorter extraction and less water. As a result, it delivers a bold, concentrated shot with intense flavour and a thicker body.
Lungo, on the other hand, uses more water and a longer extraction. Therefore, it produces a larger cup with a smoother, lighter profile.
In addition, lungo coffee highlights more subtle flavours and aromas. This makes it ideal for longer, more relaxed coffee moments.
If you prefer a quick, strong coffee, espresso is the better choice. However, if you enjoy a longer and more balanced cup, lungo is ideal.
