Lavazza Espresso Point Coffee Machine

The Lavazza Espresso Point (EP) system was the first Lavazza capsule system , launched in 1988. It uses a proprietary capsule format , incompatible with other Lavazza systems. Initially designed for the professional/office segment (offices, small businesses, restaurants), it remains active today with a loyal installed base in France and Italy.

Pointof the system:

• Robustness — machines proven for over 35 years, simple maintenance
• Simplicity — one-button extraction, front capsule loading
• Complete ecosystem — espresso, decaf, tea, hot chocolate, milk — full hot beverage service
• Compact size — EP Mini machine ideal for small spaces

The flagship machine of the system is the Lavazza Point EP Mini, available on Cafemalin in two versions:

• EP Mini only (€139) — ideal if you already have EP capsules or want to test the system with a moderate initial stock. Supplied bare with cable and instructions.
• EP Mini Kit + 200 capsules (€161.72) — the best option for starting out. Includes the machine + 200 Espresso Point for approximately 4 weeks of office consumption (approximately 2 capsules per person per day for 5 people). Unbeatable value for launching a professional coffee space.

For office use (5-15 people) or small businesses , the EP Mini is perfectly sized. For more intensive use (>15 people, cafe/bar), consider the Lavazza Blue LB2310 machines instead .

The Aqua aroma Crema filter is a consumable water filter that significantly improves the quality of espresso and extends the life of your machine:

• Taste quality — eliminates chlorine and impurities that mask coffee aromas. Improves crema formation ( the signature golden foam of Italian espresso).
• Anti-limescale — reduces the mineral salts responsible for limescale buildup. Extends the machine's lifespan and reduces the frequency of descaling.
• Extended compatibility — compatible with EP Mini (Espresso Point) and LB300, LB900, LB1050 (Lavazza Blue). Check the geometry on your machine.
• Renewal frequency — every 2 to 3 months depending on usage (frequency of extractions, local water hardness).

At Cafemalinecosystem Lavazza Espresso Point covers all needs:

• Espresso Point — espresso, decaffeinated coffee, various strengths and Lavazza signature blends
• Lavazza Point — tea capsules (mint, lemon, red berries) to expand your hot beverage menu

capsules Point are made in Italy by Lavazza. Specific capsule format, not interchangeable with other systems.

Lavazza EP Mini machines ( both standalone and kit) are currently temporarily out of stock . As the Espresso system Point is a historical model (1988), machine restocking cycles are less frequent than for newer ranges.

In the meantime, if you're looking for an immediately available pro-office alternative, check out the coffee —particularly the Lavazza A Modo Mio (premium residential) or the Lavazza Blue range (pro-office). The EP capsule and accessory ecosystem, however, remains permanently in stock.

Simple maintenance for optimal lifespan (10+ years) of your EP machine:

• Daily — empty the used capsule container and the water container, wipe down the surfaces
• Weekly — clean the capsule holder and extraction unit with warm water, wipe with a soft cloth
• Every 2-3 months — replace the Aqua aroma Crema filter (see dedicated accessory)
• Every 6-12 months — descale with an espresso-compatible descaling product. Frequency to be adjusted according to local water hardness (annually for soft water, semi-annually for hard water).
• Annual — visual inspection of seals and pipes; overhaul by a Lavazza technician if the machine is in intensive professional use.

Regular maintenance ensures consistent espresso quality and prevents premature breakdowns. The water filter is the primary factor in the machine's longevity.
