Lavazza Blue Tales of Venezia Lungo is the longer version of Tales of Venezia, in the Tales of collection that Lavazza dedicates to Italian destinations. The same 100% Arabica blend from Central America and South America, the same amber roast, but a fuller capsule: 9 g of coffee instead of 8, for a longer cup.
Lavazza describes it as a delicate and aromatic espresso lungo, with floral and citrus notes and a lasting crema. Intensity 8 out of 13 on the Lavazza scale: alongside the espresso version, it is the least intense of the Tales of coffees, to enjoy as a long cup at any time of day.

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, in Lungo (this product) and Espresso 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.
What's the difference between the Lungo and Espresso versions of Tales of Venezia?
The same 100% Arabica blend, the same intensity (8 out of 13), two capsules:
- Lungo (this product) — 9 g of coffee per capsule, for a longer cup; floral and citrus notes, lasting crema.
- Espresso — 8 g of coffee per capsule, for a short coffee; floral and fruity notes, creamy crema.
For a short coffee, choose the Espresso version; for a longer cup, the Lungo version.
Composition — Arabica or Robusta?
100% Arabica, according to Lavazza, from Central America and South America. With no Robusta, the cup remains delicate and floral, with subtle bitterness, even as a lungo.
Which Blue machines is it compatible with?
All Lavazza Blue machines whose names begin with ‘LB’: LB 300 Classy Mini, LB 1300C Classy Soul, LB 2310… For a lungo, use your machine's lungo button or manual dispensing: the LB 300 has an espresso button and a manual dispensing button. Not compatible with A Modo Mio, Espresso Point, Firma, Nespresso or Dolce Gusto machines.
How long does a box of 100 last?
One capsule makes one cup: the box makes 100 lungos. At the office, with 2 coffees per person per day, it lasts 10 working days for 5 people; at home, with 3 coffees per day, just over a month.
Alternate with a more intense espresso, such as Blue Intenso.
How should you store Blue capsules?
Each Blue capsule is sealed, protecting the coffee until brewing without an individual wrapper. Store the box at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and light, and use the capsules before the date shown on the packaging. For recycling, follow the instructions printed on the box and your local authority's guidance.
