When I want quality coffee, this is my go to. I love the packaging always keeps it fresh and flavorful. Will continue to purchase again and again. Great smelling and tasting coffee.

Always good quality

Good for espresso. Continually solid albeit pricier coffee. Still better than newer overpriced and overhyped brands. Worth the price.

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.

My parents drank whatever coffee happened to be on sale. They measured quality primarily by whether it was hot and contained caffeine (and usually instant) I, apparently, have evolved into the kind of person who buys imported whole beans and reads words like "intense," "robust," and "notes of..." without irony. This coffee is rich, flavorful, smooth, and exactly what I'm looking for in a dark roast. It makes ordinary coffee taste like it gave up halfway through the manufacturing process. The aroma is excellent, the beans are consistent, and every cup feels slightly more sophisticated than my actual lifestyle.

Illy is synonymous with consistency, quality and taste, and this blend pairs beautifully with a Brikka-type Moka pot. Velvety smooth yet flavorful.

Good strong espresso

Extremely dented can
