Frequently asked questions
Dolce or Soave: what's the difference between these two mild blends?
Two mild 100% Arabica A Modo Mio coffees, for two uses:
- Dolce (this product, called Lungo Dolce by Lavazza) — intensity 6/13, amber roast, mild, velvety and creamy, with fruity notes. Designed for a lungo and suitable for milk drinks.
- Soave — intensity 5/13, amber roast, mild and light, with delicate floral touches. The lightest profile in our selection, served as an espresso.
Recommendation: Dolce for a mild lungo or a milk-based drink, Soave for a very light, floral espresso.
Does Dolce have less caffeine than another AMM blend?
No — standard caffeine content (~60–80 mg per cup). Flavour intensity (6/13) measures aromatic strength and body on the palate, not caffeine. A 100% Arabica blend like Dolce may contain slightly less caffeine than an Arabica-Robusta blend (Robusta contains ~2 times as much caffeine as Arabica), but the difference remains marginal (~10–15% less). For a caffeine-free coffee, choose decaffeinated DEK Cremoso.
Great for cappuccino, isn't it?
Yes: Lavazza also describes it as suitable for milk-based drinks, and its mild, velvety profile pairs well with frothed milk without pronounced bitterness. Recommendation: 1 Dolce capsule + 100–120 ml of whole milk frothed at 65 °C in a large cup. For a more full-bodied cappuccino: Intenso (13/13), which Lavazza describes as ideal with milk.
Which A Modo Mio machines is it compatible with?
All A Modo Mio machines: 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's the best-before date?
16 espresso per box (1 capsule = 1 cup). Household drinking 2 cups/day = ~8 days; high-consumption household drinking 4 cups/day = ~4 days. Best before 18–24 months when stored at room temperature away from light — Dolce's fruity notes are sensitive to light, so a closed cupboard is recommended. See AMM multi-box packs for regular use.
Recyclable aluminium — how do I recycle it?
Yes, 100% recyclable. Three options: (1) Lavazza collection points in partner shops, (2) Terracycle Lavazza programme, (3) metal packaging recycling (yellow bin) after removing the coffee grounds.
