Built around one of the most common capsule platforms, this range carries Lavazza's blending know-how into a Nespresso* Original machine without asking you to change anything on the counter. The capsules slot into the machine you already own, and the selection stretches from delicate 100% Arabica profiles to firmer Arabica and Robusta blends. What shifts from one capsule to the next is the composition inside: the proportion of bean varieties, the depth of the roast, and the aromatic notes that give each cup its character.
Every capsule is shaped to the dimensions and extraction pressure of Nespresso* Original machines. Place the capsule in the machine, close the lever, and the machine pierces and brews exactly as it always does, pouring a single espresso in seconds. Formats run from packs of 10 to larger packs of 30, which covers both a first trial and steady daily use. None of these fit A Modo Mio machines, since that range relies on a separate capsule format made for Lavazza's own system.
Across this system the Lavazza profiles travel from lighter, floral and fruity cups towards bolder blends marked by cocoa and spice. Where Arabica leads, the result tends to be sweeter and more aromatic with a lighter body, while the addition of Robusta brings structure, a thicker crema and a deeper roasted note. The intensity scale printed on each pack indicates body and aromatic strength, not quality, so the right choice comes down to taste rather than any ranking.
For an espresso with a familiar, approachable character, Qualità Rossa sets dried fruit notes against soft chocolate, working as readily on its own or with milk. Qualità Oro takes a more refined line: a 100% Arabica blend with fruity and floral notes and a sweeter, more aromatic profile, suited to anyone who prefers a delicate cup with a lighter body and a lingering finish.
When the espresso calls for more body and presence, Espresso Maestro Intenso brings aromas of wood and cocoa to a full-flavoured cup with real depth. Crema e Gusto matches gently roasted beans with hints of dark chocolate and a spiced aftertaste, producing a creamy espresso that holds up in cappuccinos and lattes.
For those keeping caffeine in check without giving up on flavour, Decaf draws on an Arabica and Robusta blend with chocolate and dried fruit notes, decaffeinated through a natural process. Body and aromatic profile stay in place despite the reduced caffeine content, so the character of Italian coffee comes through intact.
No. The capsules are designed and manufactured to fit Nespresso* Original machines and work with the same extraction process. They insert and brew in the same way as any other compatible capsule.
The two systems use different capsule shapes and are not interchangeable. A Modo Mio capsules work only in Lavazza A Modo Mio machines, while the Nespresso*-compatible capsules are made for Nespresso* Original machines. Each range has its own selection of blends.
Packs range from 10 capsules for smaller trial sizes up to 30 capsules for regular use. The pack size varies by blend, so the per-capsule cost decreases with larger formats.
Yes, a small amount. The Decaf capsule carries a reduced caffeine content rather than removing it entirely. Decaffeination is carried out through a natural process that takes out most of the caffeine while preserving the blend's flavour profile.
Blends with a fuller body and deeper roasted notes tend to hold their own with dairy or plant-based milk more effectively. Crema e Gusto and Espresso Maestro Intenso both carry enough character to stand up in cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites.
The Lavazza Nespresso*-compatible capsules in this range use aluminium and plastic materials rather than compostable technology. Checking the product description or packaging is the best way to confirm disposal instructions for each specific blend.
