illy Ground Espresso Coffee Intenso Dark Roast – 100% Arabica, Pre-Ground for Espresso Machines, 8.8oz, 6 Pack

Experience Intense Italian Espresso at Home

Since 1933, illy has crafted a signature espresso by marrying careful sourcing with innovative preservation. This Intenso Dark Roast uses 100% Arabica beans selected from the top tier and roasted to deliver a bold, full-bodied cup with warm cocoa and dried fruit hints. The pre-ground format is designed for quick, dependable espresso extraction, so you can enjoy a classic Italian moment without fuss.

Our process begins with sustainable partnerships with farmers in more than 30 countries, focusing on quality and long-term collaborations. Only about the top 1% of Arabica beans pass our rigorous selection, ensuring a consistent profile across brews. After processing, the beans are ground to the right level for espresso machines, enabling you to pour a flavor-forward shot with ease.

Aroma you can sense, freshness you can taste

illy preserves aroma with a patented can technology developed in 1934. Inert gas replaces air inside the tin, helping keep freshness and aroma intact until you open the can. The result is a cup that reflects the brand’s refined aroma each time you brew.
