The A Modo Mio system and the Idola machine

The A Modo Mio system is Lavazza's capsule system for the home, launched in 2007. Each capsule contains up to 7,5 g of coffee and only works in an A Modo Mio machine: a format unique to Lavazza, different from both its professional Lavazza Blue and Espresso Point systems and Nespresso®.

Our machine is the Idola, designed in-house by Lavazza in Turin and a Red Dot Design Award winner: the jury praised its precise construction and attention to detail. Its one-piece casing reduces visible joints; it measures 14,5 cm wide, reaches temperature in 28 seconds and makes a coffee in around 35 seconds. Lavazza describes it as compact and quiet.

Four touch controls with audible feedback: espresso (30 ml), espresso lungo (45 ml), long coffee (90 ml) and free-flow dispensing, with programmable volumes, plus a Boost button for hotter coffee. Removable transparent 1,1 L water tank, container for 10 used capsules, low-water, full-container and descaling indicators, and automatic switch-off after 9 minutes. The Idola has no steam wand: you need a separate milk frother for a cappuccino.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio capsule range runs from Passionale, our bestseller, to Soave, Delizioso, Intenso, Dolce and decaffeinated DEK Cremoso; Lavazza cups complete the set.

Selected by Selection & testing by our team of coffee experts — Idola machine and Lavazza A Modo Mio capsules, described using official Lavazza specifications and instruction manuals.

Frequently asked questions

The questions our customers ask most often.

What is the Lavazza A Modo Mio system?

The A Modo Mio system is Lavazza's capsule system for home use, launched in 2007: a dedicated machine, one capsule per cup, and up to 7,5 g of coffee per capsule. The A Modo Mio capsule has its own shape: it only fits A Modo Mio machines.

Lavazza has two other capsule systems for offices and catering: Lavazza Blue and Espresso Point. Their capsules are not interchangeable with A Modo Mio capsules.

What are the Idola's features?

According to the Lavazza technical specifications and instruction manual:

  • Drinks — four touch controls: espresso (30 ml), espresso lungo (45 ml), long coffee (90 ml) and free-flow dispensing, with programmable volumes, plus a Boost temperature button.
  • Speed — heats up in 28 seconds, with coffee ready in approximately 35 seconds.
  • Tank and container — removable transparent 1,1 L water tank, container for 10 used capsules, and low-water, full-container and descaling indicators.
  • Dimensions — 14,5 × 38 × 28 cm (width × depth × height), 4 kg, chrome-plated metal cup-support grille and height-adjustable cup support.
  • Power consumption — 1 500 W, 220–240 V, low-power mode and automatic switch-off after 9 minutes.
Does the Idola make cappuccino?

No: the Idola is an espresso machine with no steam wand or built-in milk frother. It makes espresso, espresso lungo and long coffee. For a cappuccino or latte, froth the milk with a separate frother, then pour it over an espresso made with the Idola.

Which capsules work with my Lavazza A Modo Mio machine?

Lavazza A Modo Mio capsules. At Cafemalin:

Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, Lavazza Blue and Espresso Point capsules are not compatible. See the full A Modo Mio range.

Has the Idola really won a Red Dot Award?

Yes. The Lavazza Idola is listed among the Red Dot Design Award winners, with Lavazza (Turin) as the manufacturer and an in-house design by Florian Seidl. The jury praised its precise construction and attention to detail. It also received an iF Design Award.

The Red Dot listing describes a one-piece outer shell that reduces visible joins, a large, easy-to-access transparent water tank, a drip tray with a metal grille and a height-adjustable cup support.

How do I maintain my Lavazza A Modo Mio machine?

According to the Idola instruction manual:

  • Capsule container and drip tray — empty when the full-container indicator lights up; all removable parts are dishwasher-safe.
  • Water tank — use fresh, still drinking water and replace it after 3 days without use.
  • Descaling — prompted by the machine's dedicated indicator, generally every 2 to 3 months: Lavazza recommends its own descaler and rules out vinegar.
  • Casing — use a soft, damp cloth, never solvents or alcohol.
