by AmazonCoffee Beans Caffè Intenso, Light Roast, 1kg (2 Packs of 500g), Rainforest Alliance Certified

I got these originally in the sale and thought why not give it a try as a day to day coffee when working. For the price i wasn't expecting anything special but it is surprisingly good value and quality.You get 2 x 500g bags. they are foil lined which is great for freshness, and they have the usual pressure seal circle to avoid the bag popping.Aroma is good. They don't smell burnt or over roasted like some "Italian style" beans. They do smell rich and like dark chocolate.Appearance they look to have a gentle even roast. There's no random burnt or underdone beans. Roasting is very even.Flavour is good. These do create a good creme when making espresso. I did also try them in a cafetier and it was just like generic coffee and not very exciting. In espresso they are much better. These are not the most lively and full packed with varied fruit or confectionery flavours. You will taste dark chocolate with a little vanila. It is a very pleasant and repeatable flavour if you drink coffee regularly. Don't expect lots of flavours to sip at and contemplate. For that you will have to pay much more. But for everyday this os brilliant.Good quality, excellent value. Highly recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful

This Amazon Intenso Coffee Bean 2 x 500g pack is great value, certainly compared to my usual L'Or Onyx Beans which are around £2 more for 500g less.The beans aren't quite as well roasted as I prefer, but produce a good quality espresso with good crema. I have a digital espresso machine so I grind the beans before making the coffee and they produce a good ground coffee and a pretty decent espresso although there is a little bitterness at the end,If I mix this with some Lavazza Rossa ground coffee, the result is really good espresso, with the bitterness significantly reduced so I will buy again and continue to use that mix.Overall its a pretty decent coffee at a very good price.

I just ground and drank my first cup of Caffè Intenso, Light Roast Coffee Beans, and I have to say, it was a lovely experience. This was my first time trying this particular Amazon offering, and it didn’t disappoint. The moment I started grinding the beans, a wonderful aroma filled the air, which carried through beautifully into the pot as it brewed.As for the taste, it’s not particularly strong, which I found perfect for a light roast. It’s nice and smooth, with no bitterness or unpleasant aftertaste to spoil the moment. Just a clean, enjoyable sip from start to finish. For the price, I think it’s fantastic value - quality like this at such an affordable rate is hard to beat. I’d highly recommend Caffè Intenso Light Roast to anyone looking for a great start to their day. Off now to test it on my wife!

This coffee is lovely and quite strong. Obviously I can adjust the strength but it's got a nice flavour as is. Very reasonable priced. Will definitely but this again. I usually but the decade option as well for my afternoon coffee and again it tastes really nice.

Excellent coffee beans, Fantastic taste. I usually buy lavazza but thought I would give these a try. Amazon has nailed it.....Really good quality. Great value, tastes just as good as more expensive brands. Recommended

Love this coffee beans very nice taste but delivery was delayed for couple days but still come in but then opening the box the smell was not coffee!! Was very strong chemical smell,did not gone in to the coffee. Seal was not broken Coffee very nice and strong smell lovely then grinding.

Beans are quite small and the flavour is not as strong as I’d hoped. Decent value for money for what it is though.

I don't normally write reviews for coffee but this one is too good to ignore. I use a bean to cup machine for 'coffee in a hurry' for myself, and my wife uses it for every cup of coffee she makes. This is what I bought the beans for, solely based on price for the first batch, though the reviews were good. However.... having tasted the coffee from the bean to cup machine I decided to try it on my proper espresso machine, something I normally only use with much more expensive beans from small batch roasters.The results surprised me! Not only is the espresso 'good' with this coffee, but I have found it to be a whole lot better than pretty much most of the small batch roasted coffees, many at more than double the price. The coffee is full-flavoured, 'rounded' and has excellent depth. It's not acidic, and is very smooth without losing flavour and character.I'm reluctant to publish this review because I don't want Amazon putting the price up! However, it deserves all the great reviews it has received here. I have had four kilos of the stuff so far, from two separate orders. I just hope it remains consistent. If it does, it'll be my coffee of choice for a long time to come.
