Pure pleasure for millions of people

The next time you enjoy a smooth, creamy, melt-in-the-mouth piece of chocolate, think about the cocoa bean in all of its many forms. It is an incredibly popular source of pure pleasure for millions of people.

Hi,
Does "pure pleasure" in the above refer to "extreme pleasure" or something else? Thanks.

It means that the pleasure is pure, that is unmixed with anything which might spoil it. To me it means that the pleasure is deep rather than extreme.
