## Description

The dream to offer the best coffee to the world, since 1933. Over the years, illy has perfected this process to obtain a coffee with a rich aromatic profile, balanced flavor and a one-of-a-kind aroma. To make our coffee, we select only the finest Arabica coffee plants, grown sustainably by our farmers in over 30 countries around the world. We cultivate long-lasting relationships with them based on shared values and personal growth. Because it is only by working together that we can achieve exceptional results. We select only the 1% of the finest Arabica coffee beans, thanks to many years of collaboration with growers who place maximum importance on quality and sustainability. Researching and experimenting with raw materials is a journey that never ends. After processing, the beans undergo a meticulous selection to ensure zero defects: even a single imperfect Arabica coffee bean can compromise the aroma of our blend. We preserve and enhance the aromas through our patented pressurized cans. Patented in 1934 by illy, pressurization is a preservation system in which the air in the tin is replaced by an inert gas at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. In this way, not only is the freshness of our coffee maintained, but its aroma is also enhanced. To obtain the best sustainable quality, illy sources the finest Arabica around the world, establishes a lasting relationship with the growers and nurtures a virtuous circle, generating well-being for consumers and socio-economic development for producers.

Review: Rich and Delicious - I have a small espresso machine and love this coffee. I buy it in quantifies of 6 or 8 at a time and think the value is better than buying it in the store. Makes a great cup of coffee, rich and full bodied even with added milk froth.
Review: Ground Coffee - Great Taste - Although preground, this coffee is very close in taste to freshly ground coffee beans. I have compared this coffee with quality beans (not supermarket bought). So far, I have brewed the coffee using a Fellow Aiden.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the level of intensity of this coffee?**
A: Intenso Dark Roast is composed of 9 of the finest Arabica coffee sources worldwide, and in comparison with the Medium Roast, it is intense, robust and full-flavored with notes of deep cocoa. For additional information, please call illy customer care at 877 455-9347 and we will be more than happy to assist you.

**Q: This compared to Starbucks Espresso Whole Bean? I like the taste of Starbucks, but I also want the convenience of it already being grounded.**
A: Yes.  When you open the can, you'll find the aroma of freshly ground beans.  And the can will keep them as fresh until the very last cup you make.  You don't need to grind beans each time you have a coffee break!  Every cup will taste like being in Italy.

**Q: I’m debating purchasing because previous reviews of exploding cans. Has the company fixed the issue of pressure build up in cans?**
A: I've been using this coffee since 2008 in multiple countries, and I've never had one "explode" and I go through at least one can a week so roughly a sample size of over 700+ cans. I would recommend that one pop the top tab slowly (tab is like old school soda cans) because it is under vacuum to retain superior taste via avoiding oxidation.

**Q: What are the nutrition facts? There's no label, nothing here on Amazon and nothing on the illy website.**
A: Coffee, tea, and spices are usually exempt from FDA nutrition labeling requirements if they contain “insignificant” amounts of all nutrients required to be included in the “Nutrition Facts” panel. It's coffee... not much nutritional value. Truth is, not many people drink coffee for any nutritional value. That said... it's really good espresso!

Love this in my Moka pot. I use the venus stainless steel and this coffee. It’s smooth but strong with a little kick. Way cheaper than buying myself a coffee daily. As a coffee snob i like it.
