I rarely write reviews, but after spending nearly a year on an espresso-fueled quest, I felt compelled to share my discovery. During an unforgettable period traveling Europe, my mates and I took epic road trips across Italy. At every gas station, we'd stop for a quick double espresso. Those Italian espressos hit differently—each one felt like the exhilarating slap in the face you'd get from your very first espresso, an instant surge of alertness, perfect fuel for our grand adventures. Upon returning to Canada, I was haunted by memories of that robust, brute-strength espresso, stranded instead with bland Nespresso pods, moka pots, and weak drip coffees (more like dirty water—yuck!). After experimenting endlessly with countless brands and methods, I finally stumbled upon Café Borbone Intenso, exactly when I needed it most, moving into my first apartment and starting a full-time job. Honestly, no wonder Italians are so productive and energized! But what will your average coffee drinker, accustomed to Tim Hortons double-doubles and gentle lattes, think of this espresso? As my mom succinctly and hilariously put it after a single sip: "What in the name of burnt tires and hellfire is this?! This tastes like motor oil filtered through a tractor engine!" Later, she dramatically whispered to my dad, "Why would anyone willingly drink this? Is this even legal?" Yet, for me, Café Borbone Intenso is perfection. It's my go-to espresso now—a liquid tribute to the unforgettable road trips of my 21-year-old self, packed with memories, laughter, and adventures shared with good friends. Read more

I really like this espresso! For espresso and automatic machine a good quality bean is not meant to be oily. Ive purchased many kinds and have been disappointed with greasy beans. These beans were nice adn fresh and dry and smelled amazing and dark. I really enjoy the espresso shots I get from them and find it rich, deep and smooth in flavor Read more
