Frequently asked questions
What is the Lavazza ‘Tales of’ collection?
A collection of coffees inspired by Italian destinations, created by Lavazza. Five destinations in Blue capsules, from least to most intense on the Lavazza scale:
- Tales of Venezia (8 out of 13) — pure Arabica from Central and South America, floral and fruity, also available in a Lungo version.
- Tales of Milano (9, this product) — Rainforest Alliance-certified pure Brazilian Arabica: milk chocolate, dried fruit and honey.
- Tales of Roma (10) — Arabica and Robusta: hazelnut, chocolate and dried fruit.
- Tales of Capri (11) — Arabica and Robusta, medium roast: chocolate and dried fruit.
- Tales of Napoli (12) — Arabica and Robusta, prolonged roasting: bitter cocoa and caramel.
What is Cereja Apassita?
These are coffee cherries left to dry before harvesting. Lavazza includes them in the Tales of Milano blend to produce a richer, denser espresso, with notes of milk chocolate, dried fruit and honey.
Composition — Arabica or Robusta?
100% Arabica from a single origin, Brazil, certified by Rainforest Alliance. It is the only single-origin Tales of coffee in Blue capsules: Tales of Venezia combines Arabicas from Central and South America, while Tales of Roma, Capri and Napoli combine Arabica and Robusta.
How does it differ from the classic Blue Amabile?
Two different profiles:
- Tales of Milano (this product) — pure Brazilian Arabica, notes of milk chocolate, dried fruit and honey, intensity 9 out of 13; an espresso.
- Blue Amabile — Arabica and Robusta, full-bodied and creamy, chocolatey and fruity, intensity 10 out of 13; designed for lungo coffee.
Is it compatible with systems other than Lavazza Blue?
No: the Lavazza Blue capsule has a shape specific to its system and only works in a Lavazza Blue machine (LB 300 Classy Mini, LB 1300C Classy Soul, LB 2310…). It is not suitable for Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, Delta Q or illy Iperespresso machines, or for other Lavazza systems (A Modo Mio, Espresso Point, Firma).
How many cups can you make with 100 capsules?
Each capsule makes an espresso, so the box makes 100 coffees. For example:
- An office of 5 people, each drinking 2 coffees a day: 10 capsules a day, lasting 10 working days.
- An office of 10 people, drinking 2 coffees a day: 20 capsules a day, lasting 5 days.
- At home, 3 coffees a day: just over a month.
