Lavazza Blue Amabile — Box of 100 balanced, mild capsules

Three "fundamental" Lavazza Blue blends:

• Amabile (this product) — balanced and mild 6/10, with notes of honey, flowers, and ripe fruit. Versatile for espresso and milk-based drinks. Light roast.
• Blue Intenso — full-bodied 9/10, with cocoa/spice notes. A traditional, full-bodied Italian espresso. Dark roast.
• Blue Dolce — mild 4/10, notes of cream/vanilla/caramel. A long coffee in the morning, for delicate palates. Very light roast.

Amabile is the "consensus bureau" that pleases the majority, Intenso is suitable for lovers of full-bodied, pure Italian wines, and Dolce is for palates very sensitive to bitterness.
