Lovely coffee
I love this coffee, I've subscribed to have it deliver at a special price, I was disappointed to hear that at the time, it was out of stock, but good old Amazon found me one and presto it was at my door earlier than expected, my only issue with this one is that the container had no lid, COFFEE NEEDS TO HAVE A COVER TO KEEP ITS FRESNESS, My 1st purchase had one😒; apart from that I'm very happy wit my purchase

Not suitable for Moka pots
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.

Intenso is just the right strength for me
Very happy with this coffee. I feel I’m new to the ground coffee scene, I’ve recently purchased a delonghi dedica and I first of all started with the illy Classico mild and balanced and it was exactly that- not much flavour at all, whether it’s a single (8g) shot in a small cup, or a double (15-17g) shot in a medium cup, I just wasn’t satisfied with the flavour. I then tried the intenso bold roast and the smell was beautiful, single shot gave me a much better flavour coffee, exactly what I’m after in fact. I’m drinking it as a cappuccino so with frothy milk, the Classico just didn’t show through much flavour whereas the intenso is just the right amount I am looking for. I’m not into heavily tasting coffees so if you’re like me and just wanted a coffee that wouldn’t leave a nasty taste or leaving you feeling dehydrated then this is the one to try for sure.

Perfect platform for hard-to-find items. Delivery was prompt.
Use 18-20 grams of coffee for a double shot, tamp evenly, and extract at 9 bars of pressure for 25-30 seconds.
