Lavazza A Modo Mio Idola Espresso Coffee Machine, Grey

Product Information

After inserting my capsule, I opted for the short option, and within 30 seconds, had a smooth-tasting espresso. The option to brew four different drink sizes is another welcome addition, and one you won’t find on Lavazza’s cheaper machines. Whether you are baking up a storm or preparing a Sunday roast with all the trimmings, we’ve got you covered.

It is only a relatively humble capsule coffee machine, but the Idola redeems itself with a smart design and the ability to deliver a cup of capsule-sourced coffee which is a cut above the average. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.However, all of the big coffee capsule manufacturers now provide recycling options for used capsules. Our coffee expert praised the Idola for producing espresso with a rich and creamy crema, noting that each shot looked full-bodied.

This machine is far superior to the mini , much better made, easy to use and doesn't take up too much space. Another downside is that I am not sitting a pavement table outside of a cafe in Spain watching the world walk by. Our impartial coffee expert tests each cup across four key areas: crema quality, aroma, taste balance and body. All trademarks and brands mentioned for this purpose belong to their legitimate owners and have been used for explanatory purposes only. My only criticism, which was relatively short lived, it took lots of uses with just water to remove a horrible taste, which I can only think is something left over from manufacturing.

Meanwhile its exhausted caps drawer holds 10 used capsules, distinguishing it from smaller, less roomy models (which can hold around 5)and saving caffeine fiends the back-and-forth to the bin. If you’re the kind of person who regularly worships at the altar of the morning coffee, then Lavazza’s latest machine is well named. PRACTICAL COMPONENTS: The cup rack height is adjustable in two different heights and the tank has a capacity of 1.

She covers everything from kitchen appliances to smart home devices, from floor care to personal care to air care technology. Limescale formation is a normal occurrence when using your coffee machine and will result in reduced water flow or cold coffee. These alert you to the water in the reservoir running out, limescale build-up and the capsule drawer filling up.

The first three options are one-touch – the final one requires one push of the button to start the brewing process and a second one to finish it. Do not drink the descaling solution and liquids that have run through the machine until the cycle is complete. I can't compare but all I can say is that the various different capsules that we've tried have been very impressive - particularly the Rosso, Delizioso and Passionale. There’s no need to think about the ratio of beans to water, no grinding or tamping and no coffee grounds to clean up afterwards.
