Pros & Cons

Pros

When brewed, the coffee has a bold, full flavor that is not too overpowering. These beans produce a rich, full-bodied cup of coffee.

Bottom line/verdict. It's a little pricey, but not by that much and well worth the cost. Great coffee at a good price. If you are a coffee lover i recommend it.

As soon as you open the seal the fragrance is heavenly. The freshness is always there with illy coffee. The package was brought to my apartment door as instructed, but i wasn't notified that it was delivered by pressing the outdoor buzzer as instructe... Read More

Illy intenso is not too strong, no bitnerness or sourness. Don’t hesitate, you deserve illy. The italians know coffee and illy is a good representation of that.

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. I find illy brand better than starbucks or peet's - and it's both for beans or capsu... Read More

Quality

I also love the quality of the whole beans and taste

Great flavor and safe to use in a super auto

After opening the pull top lid i realized the screw on lid that’s supposed to come with was missing

The beans themselves are high quality with a strong aroma that fills the room as soon as you open the tin

Price

The can was not perfectly maintained during the shipping but not that bad

Packaging/appearance

I took off a star for the packaging being dented upon arrival

Freshness is always there with illy coffee one of the best packaged coffees love the flavor of the medium roast the dark roast ... Read More

On the negative side not any shipping packaging protection like bubblewrap

The only tiny problem was that the can arrived dented

Competitiveness

Having traveled to italy several times my wife and i have searched for a whole bean that would rival the flavor we had in italy

I got a new espresso machine a year ago and have tried quite a few espresso beans but nothing compares to this one

Considerably more than other brands out there

Compared to a similar kimbo blend i would choose kimbo 8 times out of 10
