Frequently Asked Questions
Does illy Intenso Ground Drip Coffee contain allergens?
The tin is described as containing only 100 percent Arabica roasted ground coffee, with no added flavorings. Because imported products can change between production runs, read the printed label on the tin for the current ingredient statement, any facility notice and the best-before date.
How should I store illy Intenso Ground Drip Coffee?
Keep an unopened tin in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, reseal it tightly and store it away from sunlight, heat and strong smells, because ground coffee absorbs odors easily. Using the grounds within a few weeks of opening gives the freshest aroma.
How is illy Intenso different from illy Classico?
Intenso is the bold, dark expression of the illy blend, with deeper cocoa and dried fruit notes and a fuller body. Classico is the smoother, milder medium roast. Both come from the same 100 percent Arabica blend, so the difference is the roast level.
Can I stock illy Intenso Ground Drip Coffee for an office?
Yes. It comes as a Single 8.8 oz tin or as a Pack of 6 tins. The grind suits standard drip brewers found in offices and small restaurants, and the sealed tins stay in the pantry until opened, which makes planning a month of coffee straightforward.
