Our take on the illy Ground Intenso Instant Coffee

Illy's Intenso instant coffee is a dark-roast soluble coffee sold in a 3.4 oz tin. It is built for a bold, intense cup with minimal effort: stir a spoonful into hot water or milk and it dissolves without a brewer. Compared with mainstream supermarket instant, it leans toward a stronger, more aromatic profile, and it suits drinkers who want a quick dark-roast cup rather than a full brewing routine. It is not a substitute for freshly brewed espresso, and the small tin goes fast if you drink several cups a day.

Questions and answers

How does illy Intenso instant compare with regular supermarket instant?
It is a dark roast with more intensity and aroma than most budget instant coffees. It still has the light body of soluble coffee, so do not expect espresso.
How do I make it?
Stir a spoonful into hot water or hot milk until dissolved. Adjust the amount to taste; it also works in cold milk with thorough stirring.
Is it good for lattes and iced coffee?
Yes. Its strong roast holds up against milk and ice better than mild instant coffees. Dissolve it in a little hot water first for cold drinks.
How long does an open tin stay good?
Aim to finish it within a few weeks of opening. Keep the lid tight and store it away from heat and moisture to slow aroma loss.

Yes, it is plain soluble coffee and is listed as vegetarian. Check the label if you avoid caffeine or have other dietary needs.
