Flavour profile
Intenso is the more intense of the two Dolce Gusto-compatible Kimbo coffees from Cafemalin: 12 out of 13 on Kimbo's scale, with a dark roast, typical of the Neapolitan tradition according to the company. Kimbo does not publish its composition.
In the cup: an intense, roasted aroma, a full body and a lingering finish with notes of dark chocolate. For a milder cup, try Kimbo Barista 100% Arabica (9/13), also available in Dolce Gusto capsules.

Intenso or Barista 100% Arabica: which Kimbo Dolce Gusto capsule should you choose?
The two Dolce Gusto-compatible Kimbo coffees from Cafemalin, on Kimbo's intensity scale (from 1 to 13):
- Barista 100% Arabica — 9/13, medium-dark roast, notes of fresh flowers, almond and toast.
- Intenso (this coffee) — 12/13, dark roast, full body, dark chocolate finish.
What does a capsule contain?
7 g of roasted and ground coffee, packed in a protective atmosphere. The box contains 16 capsules, making 16 espressos.
How do you make a cappuccino with Intenso?
Prepare the espresso, then add hot milk frothed separately: a Dolce Gusto machine does not froth milk itself; it uses milk capsules. The full body and dark chocolate notes of Intenso stand up well to milk.
How should you store the capsules?
In their box, away from heat, light and moisture. Each capsule is packed in a protective atmosphere: the coffee keeps until the date printed on the box.
Is this coffee made in Italy?
Yes: the packaging states that it is made in Italy by Kimbo, a Neapolitan company founded in 1963 by the brothers Francesco, Gerardo and Elio Rubino.
