Are you looking for coffee for your catering business, corporate office or home supply that offers an exceptionally intense, full flavour profile, a prestigious name and absolutely consistent top quality? The value pack containing 12 pieces of 250g metal cans of ground coffee from the Intenso series (dark roast) from the globally iconic illy roaster from Trieste is the ideal solution. This exclusive blend is made exclusively from nine of the best varieties of 100% high-altitude Arabica in the world. The precise dark roasting process fully highlights the deep tones of pure cocoa and the aroma of freshly baked bread crust, while completely suppressing fruity acidity. The result is a syrupy, dense coffee with a powerful body and a strong, long-lasting bittersweet aftertaste.

By purchasing a complete carton (12 × 250g), you will not only get a more economically advantageous solution, but above all the assurance of perfect freshness. The unique patented system of packaging under pressure (pressurization) in an inert atmosphere reliably locks all volatile aromatic substances and precious essential oils inside the can. Instead of opening one large kilogram package, which loses its properties after a few days in the air, you gradually open smaller 250g cans. This guarantees your guests, customers or colleagues an absolutely perfect, fresh barista experience until the last cup.

☕ Flavor profile: Dark cocoa, toasty notes, hot chocolate and rich tiger crema

Illy Espresso Intenso stands out with its unusually full, syrupy texture, penetrating warm aroma and perfectly balanced palette of dark tones:

• Dark cocoa and hot chocolate: The main flavor axis enchants with intense, deep notes of dark chocolate and pure cocoa, which give the coffee a robust and stable character.

• Toasty notes and baked bread: The aromas and undertones on the palate reveal a refined trace of freshly baked bread crust and roasted hazelnuts.

• Dense and long-lasting aftertaste: A pleasant, clean bittersweet trace resonates in the warm finish without any signs of bitterness or unwanted acidity.

• Rich and compact crema: Thanks to the masterful dark roasting style and precise grinding, this blend creates a beautifully high, dark nutty crema in the cup with a dense structure that reliably locks in the rich aromas inside.
