Lavazza A Modo Mio Idola Espresso Coffee Machine, Grey

Product Information

With other brands offering a far greater variety of coffee blenders and flavours, Lavazza is lagging behind a little.

While the Desea comes with a milk frother attachment, which allows you to make a variety of milky coffees – lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and more – the Idola is a simpler proposition. The option to brew four different drink sizes is another welcome addition, and one you won’t find on Lavazza’s cheaper machines. p>

Choose from 3 pre-set coffee volumes including Espresso, Long Espresso and Long Coffee as well as free dose. For this reason, you will need to descale the machine every three months or so, and in any case everytime the descaling light on tha appliance is switched on.

There’s also an option for a temperature boost, which gives you an extra hot cup of coffee when selected. Considering I’m more of a milky-coffee fan, I was seriously impressed by the quality of the delicious crema. At just a press of a button, you can select from a short to tall espresso, and get tasty crema within seconds. The problem really comes down to the discarding part of the equation: environmentally-aware consumers will balk at the amount of waste involved.

Could push water through the capsules better especially when you need to do it twice to get half a mug for a decent sized coffee. Capsules are inserted into the slot at the top of the machine and the internal waste bin can hold up to ten used pods before you need to empty it.
