Taste Profile
Lavazza A Modo Mio Oro Fantastico Dolce is a 100% premium Arabica blend from the Oro range —Lavazza's historic high-end line. Its medium-light roast is carefully chosen to preserve the aromatic finesse of the Arabica , without the smoky notes of a darker roast. In the cup, it offers a smooth and rounded profile : dominant notes of honey , dried fruit (sweet almond, hazelnut), and milk chocolate , with a pronounced natural sweetness and very subtle bitterness . The body is medium , the acidity well-balanced , and the finish pleasantly long . This profile is designed for lovers of smooth and pleasant coffee who seek the roundness of a pure Arabica without the classic Italian bitterness. Ideal for morning coffee , after-meal coffee , and particularly recommended for those who find Arabica-Robusta blends too strong or too bitter. The 36-capsule 6g box format — more than double the standard 16-capsule format — is designed for regular A Modo Mio who want to optimize their cost per cup while retaining the premium Oro blend. households

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Oro Fantastico Dolce and Passionale?
Two A Modo Mio 100% Arabica blends, but with different orientations :
- Oro Fantastico Dolce (this product) — 100% premium Arabica, medium mild roast, intensity 5/13, notes of honey, dried fruit, and milk chocolate, smooth and well-rounded. Ideal for lovers of mild coffee, morning/after meals.
- Passionale — 100% premium Arabica, medium-dark roast, intensity 9/10 (simplified scale), notes of toasted dried fruit + dark chocolate + blond tobacco, full-bodied yet refined. Ideal for lovers of full-bodied Arabica espresso.
Recommendation: Oro Fantastico Dolce for softness and everyday comfort, Passionale for intensity and complexity.
Why 6g per capsule and not 7.5g?
The 6g/capsule is intentionally reduced by Lavazza for the Oro Fantastico Dolce 36-capsule box — this allows for a more economical positioning compared to the standard 16-capsule format (~7.5g/capsule). Three practical consequences:
- Lower cost per cup — the 36-capsule box delivers more coffee per euro spent.
- Reduced dose = slightly milder — consistent with the "Dolce" (mild) positioning. The Oro blend remains the same, only the dosage changes.
- Slightly less full body — to get a full body, prefer the standard 16 caps ~7.5 g box, or extract in short ristretto (extraction ~18 s instead of ~25 s to concentrate the blend).
