Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lavazza Blue system?
The system Blue was launched by Lavazza in 1999 to bridge the gap between the mass market (A Modo Mio, 16 capsules) and the high-volume office market (Espresso Point). Blue targets the premium segment : hotels, upscale restaurants, executive offices, independent cafés, and professional practices that demand consistent cup quality. The 8g rigid plastic feature a proprietary geometry and come in a 100-capsule professional box. Robust Lavazza Blue include the LB300 (compact office), LB910 (medium office), LB1000/LB2500 (Ho.Re.Ca), and LB2310 (high-volume use) — all with a 2-year warranty and after-sales service in France.
Which machines accept Blue capsules?
All Lavazza Blue machines : LB300, LB400, LB910, LB1000, LB1100, LB1200, LB2100, LB2500, LB2310, LB4700, LB Classy Mini, LB Classy Plus . Not compatible with Lavazza A Modo Mio (consumer), Lavazza Espresso Point (vendor), Nespresso Original or Vertuo, or Dolce Gusto — the capsule geometries are physically different. Some compatible Blue capsules are also available from Kimbo, Covim, and Bristot — these work on the same machines.
Blue Intenso or Intenso A Modo Mio : what’s the difference?
Two distinct Lavazza "Intenso" blends that are not interchangeable (different systems):
- Blue Intenso (this product) — Blue, 100 caps format, premium pro, Arabica-Robusta blend calibrated for Blue (more stable extraction, optimized crema for intensive use).
- Intenso A Modo Mio — AMM system , 16 caps format, domestic positioning , similar blend adapted to consumer machines (Jolie, Idola, Deséa).
Recommendation: choose according to your existing machine, not based on taste preference — the capsules are not physically interchangeable.
How long does a box of 100 last?
Autonomy estimates:
- Household of 2-3 people, 5 coffees/day : ~20 days per box.
- Office for 10 people, 15 coffees/day : ~7 days per box.
- Private practice, 15-25 coffees/day : ~4-6 days per box.
- Hotel/restaurant, 40+ coffees/day : ~2.5 days per box.
