CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Questions and Answers, No "woosh" on the Illy can! (#)
„I have experienced the same thing. It seems if you buy the pre-ground Illys the top of the can will actually be bulging somewhat. When this can is opened there will be a noticable woosh of "air" out of the can because it is not a vacume but under preasure. However, with the actual Illys beans this does not happen.“

CoffeeGeek - Cappuccino Cups - Mark Prince's Review
„If they were fifty bucks, I'd rate them much higher. For this price, go for Illys. You can usually get a set of six illy cappa cups for around $150 if you shop around, and within a few years, if it is a popular set, they'll hold their resale value or increase.“

„While this leads to a much fresher tasting cup than pre-ground coffee, the variation in the size of the particles is fairly large. This is significant because the finer particles are extracting at a faster pace than the larger ones, which can lend unevenness or even a slight bitter note to a cup of coffee. To reduce particle size variation (though it won't eliminate it), a "burr" style grinder is recommended. While they tend to be more expensive, burr grinders are capable of producing fairly consistent grinds ranging from espresso to French press.“

CoffeeGeek - Members: Coffee Recipes, trying to find how to flavor coffee
„ Being a coffee enthusiast, the only way to flavor coffee is after it has brewed and then adding syrups. When coffee roasters sell flavored beans they are actually placing chemicals in your coffee and the majority of the time use low quality beans and flavors to cover up their poor taste. Some good syrups to try are Monin, (It's completely natural) and Davinci.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„Meanwhile, some large specialty roasters have invaded the commercial market with cans and two-ounce, single-serving bags of pre-ground coffee. These products are usually superior to the corresponding commercial products because of the specialty roasters' tradition of quality and smaller scale of operation, but they still are a compromise product, and do not represent the absolute best in specialty coffee roasting. The same can be said for Starbucks' foray onto the supermarket shelves: Better than cans, but inferior even to the whole bean coffees sold in Starbucks' own retail outlets.“
