Taste Profile
Lavazza Dolce is the mildest blend in the A Modo Mio —the one for palates seeking absolute delicacy and an almost complete absence of bitterness. Made from 100% Arabica beans selected from naturally sweet (Central America for honey and white fruit notes, Ethiopia for floral sweetness), and roasted lightly to preserve the original notes, Lavazza departs here from the traditional darker Italian roast to reveal the fruity and honeyed side of Arabica. In the cup: light, delicate acidity, very low, dominant notes of honey, white fruits (pear, apple, quince), and flowers. The Lavazza choice for milk-based drinks (cappuccino, latte, macchiato) where the natural sweetness of the coffee complements the sweetened milk, or for those who find other coffees too strong. An introductory blendto Italian espresso — the gateway for those who don't usually drink coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dolce or Soave: what's the difference between the two mild blends?
Two Modo Mio mild 100% Arabica, with nuances:
- Dolce (this ref.) — intensity 4/10, even milder, with notes of honey and white fruit, light roast. The mildest in the AMM range : almost like a thin lungo in an espresso.
- Soave — intensity 5/10, soft floral, with notes of flowers and sweet almond. Slightly more structured : a smooth espresso but with more body.
Recommendation: Dolce if you find the Soave still too strong, or for a very thin lungo. Soave if you want a mild espresso with minimal character.
Does Dolce have less caffeine than other AMM blends?
No — standard caffeine content (~60-80 mg per cup). The flavor intensity (4/10) measures the aromatic strength and body on the palate , not the caffeine. A 100% Arabica blend like Dolce may contain slightly less caffeine than an Arabica-Robusta blend (Robusta contains about twice as much caffeine as Arabica), but the difference is minimal (about 10-15% less). For caffeine-free coffee , choose DEK Cremoso Decaffeinated .
Excellent for a cappuccino, isn't it?
Absolutely. The sweetness of Dolce blends perfectly with frothed milk—no overpowering bitterness, just notes of honey and fruit that harmonize with the naturally sweetened milk. Recommendation: 1 Dolce capsule + 100-120 mL of frothed whole milk at 65°C in a large cup. A Dolce cappuccino is especially suitable for children and those unaccustomed to coffee —the natural sweetness of the Dolce and the milk creates an approachable drink without any bitterness. Very mild alternative: Soave.
Which A Modo Mio machines are compatible?
machines Modo Mio : Jolie, Jolie&Milk, Voicy, Deséa, Idola, Espria, Piccina, Tiny, Minù + older models (LM910, LM950, LM3100). Not compatible with Blue, Espresso Point, Firma, Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, illy Iperespresso.
How many cups and what is the best before date?
16 espressos per box (1 capsule = 1 cup). For a 2-cup/day household, this lasts approximately 8 days; for a 4-cup/day household, it lasts approximately 4 days. Shelf life: 18-24 months at room temperature, away from light — the honey and white fruit notes of Dolce are particularly sensitive to light; a closed cupboard is recommended. See multi-box packs for regular use.
Recyclable aluminum – how?
Yes, 100% recyclable. Three options: (1) Lavazza collection points in partner stores, (2) Lavazza Terracycle program, (3) selective sorting of metal packaging (yellow bin) after separation of the coffee grounds.
