Lavazza Blue Espresso Intenso — 100 capsules

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.

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.

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.
