Lavazza Coffee Machine Review

Although not as widely known as many popular brand names, Lavazza is an Italian company that produces premium coffee blends along with the machines to make them come to life. As well as removing any room for error by perfecting the extraction and brewing process of their coffees, they design a range of machines, from smaller, at-home models, to large vending machines, and are committed to the entire process of coffee making, including the capsules, the packaging, the recipes and production of the coffee. Below we provide Lavazza reviews to help you choose the perfect machine.

Conclusion

Lavazza reviews consistently mention the amazing quality and taste provided by the Lavazza brand. As with most pod or capsule machines, they are only compatible with the same brand pods, but that is a good thing in this case, as these pods contain high quality, fresh and delicious flavours of Italian blended coffee. The pods tend to be a bit more expensive than some other, more common brands, but that is due to the fact you are paying for a quality product, and it still works out to be cheaper than a daily visit to a café for your coffee fix.
