Taste profile

Illy describes Intenso as highly aromatic, with notes of cocoa and dried fruit. It has a rich body and a full, lingering finish. This is the regular caffeinated Intenso variety, not the Decaffeinato version.

How to prepare

5. Rinse the holder under running water.

These pads are not intended for moka pots or machines that use a different capsule system.
