KimboCoffee Intenso Coffee Beans 250g | Italian Medium Roast | Full Body, Traditional Naples Blend | Arabica Whole Beans

I drank this in Napoli and now in the UK. Perfect

I recently ordered the [Brand Name] whole bean coffee from Amazon, looking for a fresh and flavorful option to upgrade my morning brew. The package arrived quickly and was well-sealed, preserving the aroma and freshness of the beans.Aroma:As soon as I opened the bag, I was hit with a wonderful, rich scent—notes of dark chocolate and a hint of caramel. It smelled fresh and inviting, exactly what you’d hope for in a premium coffee.Grinding & Brewing:I used a manual grinder and tested the beans in both a French press and an espresso machine. The grind was smooth, and the beans responded well in both methods. I got a full-bodied cup every time, with consistent extraction and very little bitterness.Taste:The flavor is robust yet balanced. There’s a natural sweetness with subtle nutty and chocolatey undertones. The acidity is mild, and the finish is smooth. It’s the kind of coffee you can enjoy black, but it also pairs well with milk for a creamy latte or cappuccino.Pros:Fresh, aromatic beansVersatile for different brewing methodsSmooth and flavorful profileGood value for the priceCons:My only minor issue was with bean consistency. A few beans were smaller or slightly chipped, which can affect grind uniformity. It didn’t have a major impact on the taste, but it's worth noting for more meticulous coffee enthusiasts.Conclusion:Overall, this is a great everyday coffee for anyone who enjoys a deep, satisfying cup with rich flavor. It may not be a high-end specialty roast, but it easily competes with more expensive brands in terms of taste and aroma. I’ll definitely be ordering it again.

I love this coffee! It's delicious.

Strength value for money texture

The best one! I recommend it!

I found these beans almost identical to the Napoletano variety so the same applies: I found these too strong for short espresso drinks (I mostly make 36g double shot flat whites). The margin for error was too slim on my Rancilio Silvia v6. A couple of seconds either side could lead to an overly bitter espresso that left an oily texture in the mouth. Even with a perfect extraction I found the flavour on the extreme upper limit of strong.For cafetiere use the beans worked extremely well with an impressive balanced flavour. For this reason the beans will probably work well in all non-espresso forms. Or if you make lattes or other single shot espresso drinks.In terms of off the shelf beans, I still think Lavazza or Illy red beans are hard to beat for all round versatility.

Decent but a bit bitter

I have tried several makes of coffee beans, but kimbo has been the best thus far. Perhaps not the cheapest, but who cares when the taste is great.
