by Amazon Intenso Coffee Beans, light roast, 1kg (2 packs of 500 gms) - 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 coffee is good value for how much you get. It tastes nice and has a nice flavour for espresso. It is never going to be the best at this price but I am very happy with it for my everyday drinking coffee in my Ninja coffee machine. It grinds well and I like that it comes in two larger bags so I don't have to order it so frequently.

The first brew was quite weak and tasteless through the espresso machine but as a plain espresso it wasn't too bad, but as an americano it wasn't good, initially. The way to get a good americano with this coffee is to use less milk and to not use a cup any bigger than 200ml. A lungo and long black also work well. As for taste, it's fairly neutral with slight smoky tones but nothing too rough, it's there but it isn't like an ashtray or bonfire. It has decent overall bitterness but you can't help but feel that there should be more body with the bitterness. A tenner for 1kg isn't too bad if you like something lighter for an all day drink.

Good bean & nice tasting at a good price. We bought many times.

Taste is okay for the price.

Just bought 2kg of these beans as it was great value compared to my usual Lavazza and Taylor’s brands. I’d tried the Amazon intenso recently and found it to be a good average coffee and normal settings on my machine eg 20g, grind size 5, 93 deg C. However, for some reason, fresh out of the first 1kg bag I cannot achieve a good extraction. After a lot of wasted beans the best I can achieve is 22g, grind size 1 and 91 deg C. Even then, it’s a 3.5/1 recipe, I prefer 2.5/1 but no way can I get this, I think the oils in the beans have almost gone. Anyway with 2kg of this to go it’s going to be a challenge!!

These have become one of my regular purchases whenever the price is right. Despite being labelled as a light roast, I found the flavour to be pleasantly strong and full-bodied without becoming overly bitter or harsh. The beans grind well, produce consistent results and make a very good everyday coffee whether you're using an espresso machine or another brewing method. The biggest selling point is the value for money. When they're on offer it's difficult to find many alternatives that offer the same balance of flavour and price. I've bought multiple packs over time and will almost certainly continue to do so whenever they come back down to the right price.

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.

A very good coffee at a very good price, one pack every 4 - 5 weeks, I just wish that Amazon.ie did Subscribe and Save.

J’ai récemment testé le café en grains by Amazon Intenso en torréfaction légère, et je dois dire que j’ai été agréablement surpris. Dès l’ouverture des paquets, l’arôme est subtil mais bien présent, avec des notes légèrement fruitées qui annoncent une dégustation tout en douceur. À l’extraction, que ce soit en machine automatique , j’ai apprécié l’équilibre de ce café. La torréfaction légère permet de conserver une certaine fraîcheur et une acidité modérée, sans tomber dans l’amertume. Personnellement, je trouve qu’il se prête particulièrement bien aux cafés du matin, car il est à la fois doux et stimulant. Le fait qu’il soit certifié Rainforest Alliance est aussi un vrai plus pour moi : c’est rassurant de savoir que le produit est issu d’une démarche plus responsable. En revanche, si je devais noter un petit bémol, je dirais que les amateurs de cafés très corsés pourraient le trouver un peu trop léger en intensité. Mais pour mon usage quotidien, c’est justement ce que je recherche. En résumé, je suis très satisfait de ce café : un bon rapport qualité-prix, une saveur agréable et une approche plus respectueuse de l’environnement. Je le rachèterai sans hésiter.

As any wine or beer tasting each will have a different taste and opinion: for me this coffee is VERY good. Making a very nice cream. In the image you can see same settings with a different brand. The right one is the Amazon. Totally recommended!

Ho voluto provare questo caffè in grani a marchio Amazon e ne sono rimasto davvero entusiasta. La tostatura è perfetta, equilibrata al punto giusto senza mai risultare bruciata. Il sapore è rotondo e non è troppo aggressivo, il che lo rende ideale per chi, come me, ama bere il caffè rigorosamente senza zucchero per apprezzarne la vera essenza. Ha un'ottima resa in tazza e un profumo incredibile fin dalla macinatura. Rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile. Super consigliato, è diventato il mio caffè quotidiano!

Este café en grano me ha parecido una opción muy equilibrada por calidad y precio. Los granos vienen en buen estado, con un aroma agradable al abrir el paquete, y permiten obtener un café con buen cuerpo y sabor. Funciona bien tanto en cafeteras automáticas como moliéndolo al momento para otros métodos de preparación. Además, el formato de 1 kg resulta práctico y suele salir económico para quienes consumen café con frecuencia. Una compra recomendable para el consumo diario.
