Ground Coffee Caffè Intenso, Light Roast,1kg (4 Packs of 250g) - Rainforest Alliance Certified

Of several previous purchases from the 'Happy Belly' range, most were proven to be of excellent value and quality as well as to taste (only one was considered unpleasant) but that can happen with any product and at any time. 'Happy Belly Caffe Intenso' is the first ground coffee to be purchased from the brand. Rated with a strength rating of 4, and apparently equal to that intended to be purchased but not then in stock. When delivered, the use-by date was approximately 18 months later and it will be used well before expiry approaches. Unlike some which are loosely vacuum-packed, with a CO2 release valve in the bag, thse are 'bricked', tightly packed and solid until opened; there is no CO2 release. Pricing was also remarkably low (4 x 250g packs). As a relative newcomer to using a filter machine at home (one was used in workplaces but the choice of coffee was then never personal), experience thus far in selecting whatever is available and hopefully to taste is that strength, flavour, bitterness and other such characteristics can and will vary with the brand; one may be rated 3 by one and 4 or 5 by another yet they are very similar blends, roasts etc. The grind is stated on the pack as 'medium' and to be ideal for use in cafeterieres, filter and Moka machines; it is a filter machine for which it is required. By comparison with other medium-ground coffees, this is by some way the finest grind of all. The fragrance of the coffee when first opened was not as expected and had a strange, almost fishy, character. Were it sold in a specialist coffee roast and grind shop, that characteristic alone would likely cause it to be ignored. As it is tightly-packed in foil and well-sealed, there can be no external causative influence. Flavour, once brewed, and based upon the usual two tablespoons-plus per 250 ml cup as generally recommended, was flavourful, pleasant and its strength slightly greater than a true 4 but with none of the strange character of the dry product! It is likely that the quantity used will be reduced to two level tablespoons per cup for the cups usually used, and one per cup for the smaller 125 ml shot cups. Addendum - for a minor medical issue, it has been suggested to see whether a decaffeinated product would help resolve it and Happy belly Decaffeinated since purchased - the flavour is good and without the usual 'acidic' character.

In the quiet solitude of my mornings, I sought a companion to stir the languid spirit—a cup of coffee to punctuate the monotony of existence. Enter Amazon Ground Coffee Caffè Intenso, a modest offering in a world that often overstates its promises. The aroma greets you like a distant memory, strong yet elusive, with whispers of dark chocolate and the faintest hint of oriental spices—a reminder of places you’ll never visit and experiences just out of reach. It’s a light roast, they say, but it carries a depth that belies its complexion, much like the facades we present to the indifferent world. Brewing it is a simple affair, whether you employ a cafetière, filter, or moka pot—the methods may vary, but the result remains consistently adequate. It’s not the best coffee you’ll ever taste, but perhaps perfection is an overrated pursuit reserved for those who haven’t tasted disappointment. The price is reasonable, a small mercy in times where even comforts come at a cost. If the price remains unchanged, I might invite this brew into my home again. But should it ascend beyond its current value, I would let it fade into the background noise of forgotten commodities. There’s solace in knowing it’s Rainforest Alliance Certified—a fleeting assurance that perhaps, in some small way, our choices tread lightly upon the world. But let’s not delude ourselves; ethical sourcing is but a drop in the vast ocean of compromise. In the grand tapestry of life, Amazon Caffè Intenso is a thread of mediocrity—neither dazzling nor disappointing, simply existing as we all do. If you’re seeking a coffee that mirrors the understated complexities of being, this might just be the brew for you.

This is really good coffee. Fine ground, and not at all bitter. A good strength. Probably my favorite of all I've tried. I would otherwise opt for Italian blends.

I love this coffee. It's great for the filter jug machine. Good taste and good value.

Not for my taste. A little too much after taste for me. Well packed, great delivery and price. If this coffee is to your taste it’s a great deal.

Okay, let's start with addressing what others have said. When I opened this intenso, it did not smell like fish; it smelled like coffee. On a deep breath in, at the end, there is something a little different, but it's definitely NOT fishy, the smell is basically coffee, we use a mokka pot, and the grind size was perfect for this application, just right in fact. The coffee that it made was damn good, just a good coffee. We've been spending too much money trying out many different brands of coffee, so the main reason for trying this is the price, and needing to find a simple coffee to keep buying over and over that all of us enjoy. Taste-wise, the most important thing is that there is no bitterness; it's just smooth, all the way down, just as smooth as Taylor's of Harrogate lazy Sunday, and equally as smooth as Marley One Love coffee. I didn't try this Intenso coffee neat, I just went straight in with the cream and sweetener, so YMMV with an espresso Definitely a number 4 strength, best of both worlds, plenty of coffee in a single brick, at least four mokka pots' worth, sixteen mokka pots for 13.99, yes please! get some any try it yourself, we started with the intenso to see how strong it is, but we prefer a medium coffee overall just add lesscrean, and sweetner if we fancy a stronger coffee on that day, don't see any need to try the crema now, simply stick with the intenso, worth noting that this is rainforest alliance coffee, a lot aren't

I thought I would not enjoy the taste but I was wrong. It has good flavor, good aroma, and the price is ok.

Despite the "Intenso" name, this light roast leans toward gentler indulgence, with soft chocolate undertones and a mild aroma that makes for a smooth, easy-drinking cup. It’s not punchy or bitter. 💰 Value for money? Genuinely solid. For the 1kg price point, you're getting a reliable cup that's better than most supermarket offerings. It’s not artisan-level, but for your weekday caffeine fix, this hits the mark without denting the wallet.

Es la primera vez que lo compramos en casa y no está nada mal. De sabor muy buenoz intensidad buena, todavía no he visto mucha espuma del café, no sé si es lo normal. Por ahora no me molesta.

This is my coffee of choice. The cheapest and best I could find around. This coffee gives a great taste. In addition to this coffee, I use paper filters. It comes in 4 packs of 250g, so 1kg, which, depending on your drinking, can last you a while.

Le goût est bon d'ailleurs c'est pour ça que tout les 3 mois je fais une commande

Li acquisto ormai da diverso tempo e continuano a confermarsi una garanzia. Lo utilizzo quotidianamente con la mia macchinetta per il caffè americano (a filtro). Il gusto è ben bilanciato, non risulta troppo acido né troppo amaro, rendendolo perfetto per essere bevuto in tazza grande lungo la mattinata o mentre si lavora. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo su questo formato è davvero ottimo, specialmente se considerato il consumo quotidiano. L'aroma si conserva bene anche una volta aperta la confezione. Se cercate una miscela valida, costante nel tempo e conveniente per la macchina da caffè americano, ve lo consiglio senza dubbi!
