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, floral and fruity, in Espresso (this product) and Lungo versions.
- Tales of Milano (9) — 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.
Composition — Arabica or Robusta?
100% Arabica, according to Lavazza, from Central America and South America. The absence of Robusta explains its delicate, floral and fruity profile, and its subtler bitterness compared with Tales of Roma, Capri or Napoli, which combine Arabica and Robusta.
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).
Tales of Venezia or Blue Amabile: what's the difference?
Two contrasting profiles: Tales of Venezia (this product) is a delicate, floral and fruity pure Arabica, with an intensity of 8 out of 13; Amabile combines Arabica and Robusta for a full-bodied, creamy coffee with a chocolatey flavour and an intensity of 10 out of 13.
How many coffees does a box of 100 capsules make?
One capsule makes one espresso, so the box makes 100 coffees. At the office, with 2 coffees per person per day, it lasts 10 working days for 5 people; at home, with 3 coffees a day, just over a month.
