Lavazza is the one brand here that covers all three levels at once: machines, capsules for its own A Modo Mio system, and kilo bags of beans for automatic machines. You can start from the machine and then move freely across intensities — from the mild Delizioso to Passionale at 11 on the scale.
Three Lavazza lines
- A Modo Mio machines — the compact models in five colours and the version with touch panel and milk frothing: Lavazza A Modo Mio machines.
- A Modo Mio capsules — original, in 36 and 54 counts: Qualità Rossa, Intenso, Delizioso, Crema e Gusto, Gold Quality 8/13 and decaf Dek Cremoso: A Modo Mio capsules.
- Nespresso compatible capsules — Espresso Maestro Classico and Ristretto, Crema e Gusto Classico, Forte and Ricco, Qualità Rossa, Red Quality, flavoured Gourmet Caramel and the organic Tierra line (Intenso, For Africa, For Amazonia): Nespresso capsules.

- ESE 44 mm pods — Gran Espresso and Gran Espresso Intenso in 150-counts: ESE pods.
The Tierra line comes from certified farms and named regions — the sensible pick if origin matters to you. For the same capsule system in a different flavour profile, see the Maracatú A Modo Mio capsules. Usually dispatched the next working day.
