Review: Worth a try if you like good coffee... - We love our Coffee and know a good brew when we taste it! We normally feed our Neff integrated coffee machine with beans but decided to try this filter coffee with a Cafetiere which has been sitting around (unopened) for ages. As expected, we found Intenso Dark Roast 100% Arabica to be quite strong although rich in flavour and a nice alternative to our usual brew. Well worth a try if you like good coffee, will but it again
Review: Lovely - Absolutely love this coffee. Well rounded, flavoursome, strong. Perfect for my lakeland one cup takeaway coffee maker in the mornings

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used in a cafetiere, thanks**
A: No, this is espresso. It's too fine for cafetieres.

**Q: Can i use this in a cafetiere?**
A: YES, I make this in a cafetiere everyday. It is NOT expresso coffee, which is a coarser grind, it is specifically ground finer for filtration methods. Yummy!

**Q: What is filter coffee? I just want coffee you can make by pouring hot water into it from the kettle**
A: Illy coffee is not instant coffee. You need to filter or push aside the coffee once the coffee has been in contact with the water for a few minutes (3 or 4 mins ideally). All the usual methods work well.  I generally use a coffee press (usually called a cafetiere in the UK) but the coffee does not dissolve like instant coffee, so you need to avoid eating the grounds as that would not be pleasant.

**Q: Can this be used in a smeg espresso coffee machine?**
A: Yes, any method except capsule systems like Nespresso.
