This compared to Starbucks Espresso Whole Bean? I like the taste of Starbucks, but I also want the convenience of it already being grounded.

Yes. When you open the can, you'll find the aroma of freshly ground beans. And the can will keep them as fresh until the very last cup you make. You don't need to grind beans each time you have a coffee break! Every cup will taste like being in Italy.

I’m debating purchasing because previous reviews of exploding cans. Has the company fixed the issue of pressure build up in cans?

I've been using this coffee since 2008 in multiple countries, and I've never had one "explode" and I go through at least one can a week so roughly a sample size of over 700+ cans. I would recommend that one pop the top tab slowly (tab is like old school soda cans) because it is under vacuum to retain superior taste via avoiding oxidation.

What are the nutrition facts? There's no label, nothing here on Amazon and nothing on the illy website.

Coffee, tea, and spices are usually exempt from FDA nutrition labeling requirements if they contain “insignificant” amounts of all nutrients required to be included in the “Nutrition Facts” panel. It's coffee... not much nutritional value. Truth is, not many people drink coffee for any nutritional value. That said... it's really good espresso!

A quick trip to Italy 🇮🇹

This espresso blend, infused with mocha, is my preferred choice for crafting daily cappuccinos. Its a great flavor profile, while potent, remains balanced and enjoyable, offering a delightful sensory experience reminiscent of a traditional Italian morning cappuccino.

A Bold, Elegant Coffee I Can’t Live Without

The media could not be loaded. I buy this Illy Intenso coffee every single month, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It has a bold, full-bodied flavor that’s perfectly balanced. I love its aroma when I prepare it in my Moka pot — it’s simply irresistible! The deep cocoa notes give it a warm, elegant touch, perfect for those of us who enjoy coffee with personality.Since it’s 100% Arabica, you can really tell the quality of the beans. It contains no preservatives, and the metal can keeps it fresh until the last scoop.I drink it without sugar to fully enjoy its pure flavor, and it’s often my moment of calm and energy all at once.I highly recommend this coffee — especially if you love a strong espresso that isn’t overly bitter. Truly a daily pleasure!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good, but can I have a Lid Next Time?

Coffee itself is good, but amazon sent it without a lid. There was the pressure seal and nothing else. So, I had to seran wrap the top. Next time I'll just get it at world market and save myself the hassle. I used mine in a latte using a nespresso maker and it came out beautifully smoothe and with a strong coffee taste (minus the acidity).

Coffee Expired

This is great coffee for a Moka pot. However, what Amazon shipped to me yesterday, had a "use by" date of February 19, 2025. This is September 24, 2025. Beware......
