Title: Great coffee and design.
Review: This coffee machine makes great lattes and cappuccinos, saving both time and money. It is fascinating to watch the milk foamer work, then to see the way the coffee is added under the foam. It is a one-step process to make a latte and cappuccino, as one does not need a separate foamer or process. From start to finish it takes less than 2 minutes. My girlfriend is a coffee snob and she has pronounced this machine as producing the best cappuccino and lattes she has ever had.Two months in, the machine continues to work perfectly, but as some reviews mentioned issues, I bought the extra warranty, just in case.Bottom line: you will love this machine, I believe.

Title: Great coffee/espresso
Review: Iâve probably had almost every combination coffee/espresso machine out there- Keurig, Nespresso ( both original line and Vertuo), Bruvi etc. All of them brewed lukewarm coffee at best causing me to have to nuke it which inevitably gave me super hot( almost too hot), bitter coffee.None compare to the Lavazza Classy Plus. It consistently brews hot, flavorful coffee and espresso. The milk based drinks are wonderful too and close to those youâd find at any local coffee place.Although their coffee and espresso selections are relatively limited compared to other coffee manufacturers, Iâd rather have a good, tasty cup than overpriced coffee in lots of types/ flavors.Speaking of overpriced I think the cost of their pods are very reasonable - especially when compared to Nespresso who also requires a separate frother.My only regret- that I didnât find the Lavazza Classy Plus sooner.

Title: Incredible Machine!
Review: I originally looked at the Lavazza Blue Classy Mini and then saw the Extra Classy Plus for cheaper than the Mini. I've had a higher end K-cup machine as well as a pump driven Gaggia Classic espresso machine. I've never had a machine like this and it works flawlessly. After using all 3, I'll stick with the Lavazza Classy Plus. Just as good of espresso without the mess of cleanup of a dedicated espesso machine. I was concerned that the frother top lid would be some cheap plastic. However, I saw that it was of a semi-flexible thick rubbery plastic and it is not brittle. The machine works flawlessly. Even my wife, who does not drink coffee, was impressed that I could make a macchiato with almond milk in less than 1 minute. Setup is easy, the machine is very sleek, very quiet and puts out coffee bar quality coffee. I also made my first espresso lungo with the push of a button. It still had a thick Crema on top. The other thing I like about this particular brand is the low cost of their coffee. It is much cheaper per capsule than K-Cup or Nespresso. You're able to get top notch espresso of a very similar quality as a coffee bar for around 30 cents per shot. To me, that is just a great deal. Right now, Amazon has an incredible deal on this machine. I think it was $138. Heck, the Mini Blue which only does shots of espresso is $178! Why not get the larger machine that can do so many other drinks, is able to use both Lavazza Blue or Extra capsules and also has a much larger water tank? I do not regret this purchase at all. Beautiful machine! BTW, the handle is metal, mechanism is smooth and the sidewalls are of a glossy deep blue. VERY pretty on the countertop.

Title: Weak Coffee, Descale light on after 3 uses, unreturnable even in return window
Review: This machine sure looks nice.I received my machine and then had to order the specialized coffee pods. I ordered a box from Amazon and they kept getting delayed so I ordered some more and tried to cancel the first order. Unable to cancel. I eventually received 2 orders of coffee pods. I tried to return one of the boxes of coffee the day I received it - unopened - and NO RETURNS. So I was stuck with a lot of coffee. I wasn't too worried because this machine was supposed to be awesome and we would eventually use the coffee.I first tried the "Expert Espresso Gusto Intenso". It was very very weak. I next tried the "Top Class ". Again no flavor. I tried making the strongest coffee possible using "Gran Espresso Dark Roast" on the espresso selection - again yuck. After this the light went on to descale the machine. 3 pods and time to descale?Good thing I was still in the return window right? I went to my Amazon order, selected to return the machine, selected defective and detailed the problem, and then discovered my "return" choice was to troubleshoot the machine myself or contact the manufacturer. I called the manufacturer and it went to voicemail. After reading other reviews I decided that continuing to try to work with the manufacturer was going to take too much time and nothing would be done anyway.I called Amazon because I was in the return window. They offered me a 50% refund on the price of the machine and refunded the orders of coffee. Thank you Amazon. While I am still out some money it could have been far worse. I had no idea I was ordering non returnable items - even when defective.

Title: Best for easy espresso.
Review: One day, I will be one of those people that pulls my own espresso shot and steams my own milk, but I have four little kids and now it's just not that time. I randomly came across this machine one day and bought it that same day. Which is so off for me, I'm usually somebody who researches something 40+ hours before buying but i had never seen anything like this and decided to risk it. After using it for a few months now i can say it is amazing. I have a 10 week old and have been using this for over a month now. It's so convenient. I can do it one handed with a newborn in my hand. I used to make espresso with one of those push devices but that requires much more time that i just don't have right now. The coffee that lavazza makes is amazing as well. I have started to buy their beans for our drip coffee maker as well. The Italians know what they are doing, that is for sure. They always produce the best of everything.

Title:
Review: the coffee is very good, the options with dairy (foam) work excellent, and coffee is hot (not super, but as hot as any cup instant brew.) Not trying to sound like a fanboy, but this is a great product and worth the money. Have owned Keurig, Tassimo, and a Nespresso. This Lavazza machine blows them all away. only thing that is a bit of a pain is the cups aren't sold in almost any stores. so don't let your supply run to low before ordering online. Also they coffee is twice the price of cheaper cups. But its also twice as good in my opinion. one other small drawback. it only comes with one cup and lid device to make dairy based drinks. so can't enjoy a cup with someone else unless you buy and additional cup or pour into different cup. And they aren't cheap $70 ish and are almost impossible to get. I ordered one, and two weeks later the seller cancelled order.

Review: It makes really good espresso and I love how it makes cappuccino, late, and macchiato. It makes the drinks look so fancy. It's also very easy to use. I have purchased 3 of these, 2 for myself and one as a gift. I highly recommend this machine if you are a coffee lover.

Review: I just love this machine for cappuccinos. What a treat! I no longer have to run out to a local store to buy one. So yummy and delicious. I add a touch of vanilla flavoured milk to my skim milk and what a froth and taste I get. I have a new addiction. Yikes!!!

Review: Contact Amazon and says after 30 days, I need to contact the company in Italy.Try to call them and no answers.I did a video to show how bad is the machine.Unfortunately Lavazza have a good coffe but a very bad quality of machine and customer services.I purchase more than 200 capsules, that I have to get away. This is shame.I will not purchase anymore Lavazza, I will purchase other brands that have better customer service and local representatives!!!Don't advise to purchase this machine or same capsules.

Customers say
Customers like the flavor, ease of use, and cleaning of the coffee maker. They mention it makes delicious regular coffees, is incredibly easy to set up, and is super simple to make a variety of drink types. However, some customers have reported that the product broke down after 5 months. Opinions are mixed on functionality, value for money, heat level, and milk frothing.
