Is this the same as illy Intenso?

No. It shares the Intenso bold-roast profile but is decaffeinated, so the cup is gentler and less punchy than the caffeinated version.

Stir a teaspoon or two into hot water, or into hot milk for a decaf latte. It dissolves without a machine.

Is it vegan and alcohol-free?

Yes. illy lists it as suitable for vegans and free from alcohol.

Yes. It is made from 100% Arabica beans, decaffeinated and roasted in Italy.

It is decaffeinated, so caffeine is largely removed, but decaf coffee can still contain trace amounts. Avoid it if you must have zero caffeine.

Keep the jar sealed in a cool, dry place away from light and use a dry spoon, since instant coffee clumps when it picks up moisture.
