illyIntenso Whole Bean Coffee, Dark Roast, Intense, Robust And Full Flavored With Notes Of Deep Cocoa, 100% Arabica Coffee, No Preservatives, 8.8 Ounce (Pack Of 1)

Great coffee, always consistently good, not oily so it works well in the automatic grinding machines.

Wow, this one it’s a real tasty coffee and very fresh. I love it because the can it seal and keep the beans fresh. It easy to know how fresh it is because the crema. If you buy coffee beans and you don’t see crema you have an old coffee beans but not with this one. This one is super fresh and creamy. I love it

My favorite, nothing like just ground beans first thing in the morning. The bold taste wakes you up, sometimes I mix the medium blend with the Intenso if I want a little less punch.

Coffee reviews are easy to read but very difficult to apply to our own tastes. Illy intenso whole bean coffee is no different. With all the great reviews on this coffee I finally took the plunge and here’s my review/opinion. #1: it’s definitely a pretty pricey coffee. Considerably more than other brands out there. #2: arrived on time and in a very cool tin to preserve freshness. A nice touch. 3:the beans were fresh and had a nice aroma when I opened the tin. I chose this bean because it was a dark roast and I like a good clean strong cup of coffee in the morning. 4: next morning came the moment of truth. I make my coffee using a French Press and use a mug that’s about 24 ounces. This means I consume a lot more beans per cup of coffee than if I had a regular sized mug. 5: My bottom line/verdict. Illy Intenso whole bean coffee makes a nice cup of coffee. Good taste, nice aroma and low acidity. But if I’m spending plus minus $26 a pound for coffee I want more than nice. I want great and illy intenso coffee in my opinion is definitely not intense. At this price point I definitely won’t buy it again. If it were better priced I would consider buying it again but not at this price point. A nice cup of coffee that I believe is definitely overpriced.

This Illy Intenso Whole Bean Coffee is fantastic! The dark roast delivers a rich, robust flavor with deep cocoa notes, making it perfect for anyone who loves a strong cup of coffee. The beans are high-quality, 100% Arabica, and there’s no weird aftertaste or preservatives. Grinding the beans fresh adds a whole new level to the experience. The 8.8-ounce pack is just the right amount for regular use. If you love intense coffee, this one is a must-try!

This is my favorite of the mainstream espressos. It’s one of the ones that the Italians REALLY drink in Italy. Still, somehow, it tastes better in Italy.

I would not say it the best tasting coffee. It better than some brand. I boycotted Starbucks now I am on a journey to find good tasting coffee. It has a good bold taste and I like strong coffee.

I have been making a morning 3-shot espresso Mocha in a manual machine for years. I've gone through Starbks beans, Lvazza beans, and many others. Some are good but the problem with most of them, is after awhile, you get too much of some feature in the flavor of those beans and you get tired of it after a while and need a change.I don't know how they've done it, but Illy has made perfect espresso beans that have a perfect flavor for over and over daily drinking. I hate that it's the most expensive one, but I'm hooked, and this is all I order now. It's on subscription.
