Coffee Intenso Dark Roast offers 18 single-serve pods crafted from the finest 100% Arabica beans, sustainably sourced and preserved using illy’s patented pressurization technology. Designed for E.S.E. machines, these pods deliver a bold, full-bodied espresso with rich cocoa and dried fruit notes, combining convenience, exceptional flavor, and eco-conscious packaging for the discerning coffee professional. ## 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: Freshly manufactured and absolutely flavorful full bodied coffee - I purchased them in mid-April 2024, and upon checking, they were manufactured on February 23, 2024. Despite being a couple of months old, I find them to be in excellent condition. With an expiration date of February 2026, they appear to have a decent shelf life ahead. Having been a dedicated consumer of illy coffee for about two decades, I was eager to try out their E.S.E. pods. While I have long used illy's iperespresso capsules, I've become increasingly mindful of the environmental impact of plastic pods. Therefore, I was pleased to discover that the E.S.E. pods offer a more eco-friendly alternative. I purchased the new espresso machine from illy that can brew ground coffee and these E.S.E. pods. As someone who values both convenience and quality, I must say, they have exceeded my expectations. The Intenso Dark Roast, in particular, provides a strong and full-bodied flavor that I thoroughly enjoy, making it an ideal choice for my morning coffee fix. I highly recommend illy's E.S.E. pods to fellow coffee enthusiasts looking for a convenient and environmentally conscious brewing option. Review: Great flavored Espresso - I use these ESE pods with a Braville Espresso machine with ESE insert. I most like the packaging- the envelope is large enough where the tab is not caught on the edge seal like most other brands. The flavor is intense espresso which I wanted to make different drinks. Each pod will make up to 2oz before overprocessing and loosing it strength. I like 1.5oz cup for each. The head is perfect each time. I just ordered more. ## Features - DELICIOUS CLASSIC ROAST COFFEE - E;S;E; espresso pods contain a perfectly dosed and tamped measure of the distinctive illy blend, enclosed in filter paper designed to preserve notes of cocoa and dried fruit, without losing taste and freshness - COFFEE MAKER POD PREPARATION - Simply insert pods using the top lever to begin brewing and when you’re finished the same lever ejects the used pods into a removable collection drawer for easy clean up - SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR VISION - We pride ourselves on the constant focus on our environment and the community; We are part of a global movement with a common goal: to pave the way for a better, more liveable and more enlightened world - Pre-measured pods / Individually wrapped ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0779VGP14 | | ASIN | B0779VGP14 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,746 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #210 in Single-Serve Coffee Capsules & Pods | | Brand Name | illy | | Caffeine Content Description | Caffeinated | | Caffeine Content Per Serving | 4.7 Milligrams | | Coffee Roast Level | Dark Roast | | Coffee Type | Coffee Machine Insert | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (1,896) | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Each Unit Count | 18 | | Flavor | Intenso Bold Roast | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08003753130439, 08003753153360 | | Included Components | 1 Pack of Illy E.S.E.

I would like good coffee while camping.** A: We appreciate your question. Our ESE Pods are designed to be inserted into an E.S.E.-compatible espresso machine to provide a rich, robust 1-ounce espresso shot in less than 30 seconds. If inserted into a mug of boiling water, you will not get the same results. Please call illy Customer Care at 877 455-9347 for more information. **Q: I have a DeLonghi machine and it works with these pods, but the machine takes twice as long with the pods and working harder** A: I don’t k ow what the question is but I had a DeLonghi machine as well when I used these. The best thing I did was get rid of that machine and buy a super automatic espresso machine. It was almost $1000 but worth every penny. **Q: What is expiration date? You can get that info on Ebay, not on Amazon and no return?? Pics please.** A: I have purchased these pods for about two years, and it has 100% been my experience that I only purchase the Illy ESE pods that are sold and shipped by Amazon, and that when the price is at or close to full price, the dates reflect a fresher product. I have also purchased these pods sold/shipped by Amazon with a sale price, and those pods were closer to the expiration date. It should also be noted that as the Illy ESE pods are foil sealed, even if you were receiving boxes close to date, they are still amazingly fresh. Note that there are two dates on the box, a production date, and a freshness date. **Q: What Lilly machine uses these?** A: Espresso machines not necessarily illy I use them in my DeLonghi ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Freshly manufactured and absolutely flavorful full bodied coffee *by P***T on April 17, 2024* I purchased them in mid-April 2024, and upon checking, they were manufactured on February 23, 2024.
