Over the past few years, I've probably tried every roast produced by another well-known brand of espresso from Italy, but was never fully satisfied with what came out of my mocka pots. I thought I might give another brand a try, and I'll never go back. I've tried quite a few blends promising hints of a cocoa flavor that I've never been able to discern. illy's Intenso makes that promise and delivers. It's really just a hint that goes so well with this bold espresso. Amazon is having me rate the "drip" version I've never used. I've bought the grind for espresso machines and moka pots. They also have Intenso whole beans and pods. I really look forward to starting my day savoring a cappuccino made with this amazing blend.
illy also makes Forte, a blend that's supposed to be even stronger than Intenso, and I've tried it, but it doesn't have the subtle additional flavors. I'm sticking with Intenso.

illy Intenso Ground Drip Coffee, Bold Roast, Intense, Robust and Full Flavored With Notes of Deep Cocoa
Brewed coffee made with an autodrip machine is the popular preparation method in the United States, and using the proper grind is essential. Enjoy Intenso, an intense and full bodied coffee with notes of cocoa and dried fruit. Created from the skillful blending of 100% sustainably-grown Arabica beans, meticulously selected from different growing regions around the world. The result is an authentic Italian coffee that is flawlessly consistent, smooth, balanced, and never bitter. Using an exclusive process, illy coffee is packed in an air-free, pressurized can that enhances and seals in the precious aromas and oils, so you enjoy the freshest taste – cup after cup. Available in Classico, Intenso, and Forte roasts, illy drip coffee is more coarsely ground for optimal extraction with drip coffee makers and French presses. For drip coffee preparation, we recommend using a paper filter with illy decaf ground coffee, or grinding illy decaf whole beans to a coarser grind.

Heaven in a mug!

I never knew coffee could taste this delicious! I find myself dreaming about my morning cup of coffee and yes, I look forward to getting up early just to taste it’s sweet & decadent warm notes. velvety chocolate and smooth. I’m going to try adding some coconut oil or pasture butter. Also, I’ve tried adding honey instead of sugar and the taste keeps getting more and more amazing. Thank you for such a perfect cup every time! By the way I am using a French press for this type of coffee.
