Review: Lovely taste and great packaging - 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.
Review: Gorgeous, strong coffee - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used for a chocolate cake that call for expresso powder in the recipe?**
A: NO. Don’t do that or you will regret it. If you have to put it in a recipe without the machine process, you will have to use a Soluble solution such as Nescafé.

**Q: How many mls of coffee does this make please?**
A: All depends on how strong you like it. Personally I get 20-25 12oz mugs out of a tin.

**Q: Can you use espresso coffee as filter coffee?**
A: Not in a cafetière as it is too fine - but I have used it in a perculator

**Q: Can this be used for pump machines?**
A: We use it in our 15 bar coffee machine . Unsure about pump one. Sorry. .is that in a glass jug that you slowly pump down? Lovely coffee thought

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.
