Taste Profile
Lavazza Blue Bevanda Bianca is a powdered milk capsule designed for easily preparing milk-based drinks in the Blue — system Bevanda Bianca literally meaning "white drink" in Italian (as opposed to "bevanda nera ," black coffee). Typical composition: skimmed milk powder reconstituted during extraction with hot water, combined with food-grade foaming agents that replicate the frothy effect of a professional milk frother. During Blue, the capsule releases a machine extraction creamy, frothy milk liquid that replicates the texture of milk frothed with a steam frother, with a taste similar to, but not exactly identical to, freshly frothed milk (powdered milk has a slightly different flavor profile, with sweeter, milkier notes and less of a fresh character ). The typical use is for an instant cappuccino : first, extract one Bevanda Bianca capsule into the cup to create the frothy milk base, then extract one Blue (Amabile for balanced, Intenso for full-bodied, Decaffeinato for decaffeinated) on top to make the coffee. The result: espresso coffee capsule a visually appealing and delicious cappuccino , ready in one minute without an external frother or fresh milk. It's the ideal B2B/HoReCa solution for offices, hotels, restaurants, medical waiting rooms, meeting rooms—any setting where fresh milk is a problem (refrigerated storage, freshness, waste, preparation time). The 50-capsule pack typically covers 1-2 weeks of average office consumption of milk-based drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is that really milk?
Yes — it's reconstituted powdered milk extracted during the extraction process. Typical composition:
- Skimmed milk powder — derived from cow's milk dehydrated by spray-drying, a classic industrial food process used for decades (baby bottles, industrial dairy products, instant drinks).
- Food-grade foaming agents — replicate the foaming effect of a professional steam frother.
During extraction, the hot water in the Blue reconstitutes the milk and creates the foam. The taste is similar to freshly foamed milk but not exactly the same —the difference lies in the freshness and subtle notes. The detailed composition may vary slightly from batch to batch; check the packaging for exact nutritional and allergen information.
How to prepare a real Bevanda Bianca cappuccino?
Simple 2-step sequence :
- First, extract 1 Bevanda Bianca capsule into the cappuccino cup — you get the frothy milk base (~100 mL of hot milk with foam).
- espresso coffee capsule Blue on top — your choice of Amabile (balanced), Blue Intenso (full-bodied), or Decaffeinato (evening/sensitive). The espresso coffee will settle in the center of the milk.
Result: A visually and tastefully convincing cappuccino. Latte macchiato alternative: Use 2 Bevanda Bianca capsules followed by 1 coffee in a tall, clear glass (layers visible). Do not reverse the order —if you add the coffee before the milk, the visual effect is lost and the foam collapses.
How many cups can you make with 50 capsules?
50 milk-based drinks (each drink = 1 Bevanda Bianca capsule + 1 Blue). Typical consumption:
- Office for 5 people · 2 cappuccinos/day/person = 10 caps/day → 5 days (~1 week).
- Office 10 people · 1 cappuccino/day/person = 10 caps/day → 5 days.
- Household of 2 people · 2 cappuccinos/day = 4 caps/day → ~12 days.
- Hotel breakfast 20-30 people = 20+ caps/day → ~2 days (consider several stock boxes).
For intensive use, consider several stock boxes (24-48h Cafemalindelivery).
Lactose-free, vegan, allergy-friendly?
No — Bevanda Bianca contains skimmed milk powder (lactose and milk proteins). This product is not for:
- People with lactose intolerance — presence of lactose (milk sugar).
- People allergic to cow's milk proteins — presence of casein and lactalbumin.
- Vegan diets — product of animal origin (cow's milk).
Plant-based milk alternatives in the Blue plant-based capsules Blue are currently available in the Lavazza catalog. Solutions: either use an external milk frother with a plant-based milk (soy, oat, almond) and combine it with a Blue, or choose a Blue without milk.
Compatible with systems other than Lavazza Blue ?
No capsule Blue is a proprietary format launched in 1998 by Lavazza for the B2B/HoReCa segment. It requires a Lavazza Blue (LB300 → LB4700, Classy Mini/Plus). Not compatible with Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, Delta Q, Lavazza A Modo Mio , or Illy Iperespresso. For cappuccino on other systems, use an external milk frother with fresh UHT/fresh milk.
Vs manual milk frother — what's the point?
Bevanda Bianca is a practical compromise versus a traditional external aerator:
- Advantages of Bevanda Bianca : no fresh milk to store (fridge), no milk waste, no frothing time (~30 sec vs ~2 min steam frother), no frother cleaning, impeccable hygiene in shared office/CHR environment.
- Advantages of external frother + fresh milk : fresher and more natural taste , free choice of milk type (whole, skimmed, plant-based, organic), lower unit cost if large volume, richer foam texture.
Recommendation: Bevanda Bianca for office/hospitality, external frother + fresh milk for gourmet coffee at home.
