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.
