Lavazza Passionale A Modo Mio — 16 capsules

Yes, all Lavazza A Modo Mio machines accept Passionale capsules — it has been the same proprietary system since 2007. Compatible with the full range: Jolie, Jolie&Milk, Voicy, Deséa, Idola, Espria, Piccina, Tiny, Minù, Fantasia, as well as older models LM910, LM950, LM3100. Not compatible with Lavazza Blue (offices/hospitality), Lavazza Espresso Point (vending), Nespresso Original or Vertuo, or Dolce Gusto — capsule shapes and extraction parameters differ.

Two full-bodied A Modo Mio blends with distinct flavour profiles:

• Passionale (this product) — 100% Arabica, intensity 11/13, delicate notes of roasted nuts and dark chocolate. A refined, premium, aromatic offering: strength without the rustic character.
• Intenso — an Arabica and Robusta blend, even stronger, with a more rustic body and notes of toasted cereals and bitter cocoa. A more affordable, classic full-bodied Italian espresso offering.

Cafemalin recommends: Passionale for subtlety and aromatic complexity, Intenso for a strong, traditional Italian-style espresso.

Exactly 16 espresso — one capsule = one cup (standard Lavazza dose of 7,5 g per capsule). Estimated duration for household use:

• 1 cup / day (occasional use): ~16 days per box.
• 2 cups / day (typical consumption): ~8 days per box.
• 4 cups / day (household of 2 people): ~4 days per box.

To optimise the cost per cup and avoid running out, see the full A Modo Mio range and multi-box formats.

Passionale capsules are made from flexible aluminium, a 100% recyclable material. In France, there are three recycling options:

1. Drop them off in Lavazza collection bins at partner shops (list at lavazza.fr).
2. Terracycle Lavazza programme — collection from home or at a pick-up point.
3. After removing the coffee grounds, sort with metal packaging for recycling (yellow bin, according to local guidelines).

Aluminium can be recycled indefinitely without loss of quality — a better long-term environmental footprint than plastic.

Best before 18–24 months from the production date shown on the box. Recommended storage: room temperature of 15–25 °C, away from direct light, moisture and heat sources. The aluminium seals the coffee hermetically: no loss of aroma until the capsule is pierced by the machine. Unlike coffee beans (to be consumed within 3–4 weeks of opening), capsules remain stable throughout their best-before period.

Yes, it is actively supported and expanded. Launched in 2007 as Lavazza's response to the Nespresso market, the A Modo Mio system is the Lavazza group's standard for home use in Italy. The capsule range is regularly expanded (Passionale, Intenso, Delizioso, Soave, Dolce, DEK, Tierra Bio, Ispiration series), and the machine catalogue is growing (Jolie, Deséa, Idola, Voicy). No sign of discontinuation — on the contrary, Lavazza continues to invest in this consumer segment.
