illy Intenso Ground Coffee, Dark Roast, 100% Arabica, Ideal for Espresso Preparation, 125g Tin

I really enjoyed this illy Colombian coffee. The taste is smooth, rich, and well-balanced, making it a pleasure to drink. I also appreciate the thoughtful packaging — it comes sealed in a sturdy tin, which not only keeps the coffee fresh but also feels premium. I especially liked the easy-open pull tab, similar to opening a tin of tomatoes, which makes it simple and satisfying to open. The resealable lid is a great touch too, allowing me to store the coffee securely without worrying about losing freshness. Overall, both the flavor and the packaging exceeded my expectations.

We recently got a new coffee machine and I chose both the Intenso ground coffee dark roast, and the Classico ground medium roast, so we had some variety. They are both very good coffees, fresh with great flavour, and you can taste the quality. My partner likes the dark roast the most, as he really enjoys strong coffee. I can drink both, but prefer the medium roast, as it is a little softer. Both are perfect to use with the machine, or just with a cafetiere. They are also affordable. Highly recommended.

Small taster introduction to Columbian Coffee. Nice jar to usefully maintain coffee in good condition. A taste of the Americas in modernity. I was well delivered on time also.

This is very very good ground coffee, smooth and strong with no overt roast bitterness. Delicious brewed in either French press or Mokka pot ( i prefer the mokka pot brew however ).

Excellent quality product. Highly recommend for connoisseurs of mellow coffee.

Not suitable for Moka pot. Fortunately I only brought it to season my new Moka pot as it was cheap and I didn't want to waste my decent coffee on throw away brews. The grind is too fine for Moka pots even though it says it is fine for that use. Taste is ok, it doesn't hold a candle to the freshly roasted beans I grind myself. It's a bit too bitter. I made a brew in my aeropress which normally helps correct negative tastes in my coffee.

I love drip/filter coffee and had been using Lavazza ground coffee for a while. I saw an article on the Illy single origin coffee collection, so thought I'd try them. This was my first from the collection and it tasted lovely and balanced, and I'd say a medium strength. It is slightly more expensive than the 'normal' Illy range, but I'd say it's worth it. The grind size seemed perfect for my coffee machine. I'll definitely be trying others from this collection.

Very nice coffee
