Teas and Cocoa Come to Lavazza Blue Single Serve Coffee System

Café-Razzi just introduced a new line up of teas and cocoas for the Lavazza Blue System in addition to the single serve espresso capsules. In contrast to other single serve alternatives, the Lavazza Blue is the only system besides the Tassimo that makes a great espresso, American coffee, tea or cocoa. The K Cup and Flavia systems make a good traditional American style filter coffee, flavored coffee, tea and hot chocolate, but lack high pressure steam to make a true espresso, cappuccino or latte. Nespresso makes a good espresso, but falls short on teas and hot chocolate, but they do have the Lattissima system that does make an amazing latte.

The Tea line up consists of Black, Lemon, Green, Green Fusion, Mint, Chamomile, Fruit and Berry offering a choice of regular and decaffeinated blends. The cocoa is dark rich and super easy to make. It comes as a duo pack of cocoa powder and milk capsules. These new Teas and Cocoa will work in your office or home, use either the LavazzaBlue Pininfarina Pro (LB2210) and Pininfarina Home (LB1010) machines. The strength of the LavazzaBlue system is still the espresso, but it’s great to know you can also make a delicious tea and cocoa whenever you want as well.

Americano Capsules for Lavazza Blue Home and Pro Single Serve Coffee and Espresso Makers

Lavazza just introduced a new line up to their popular single serve espresso capsules, and Café-Razzi was kind enough to send along a some samples for us to try here at Single Serve Coffee. For traditional American coffee style drinking, Lavazza now has Americano capsules so you can enjoy a long 12 oz cup without sacrificing taste.

We've been drinking the following new Lavazza Blue coffee capsules:

• BUONGIORNO Amabile - Full bodied to get your morning started
• BUONLAVORO Delicato - Pleasant and aromatic to accompany your working day
• BUONASERA Soave - Decaffeinated to enjoy later in the day)

All of these capsules are considered Americano Capsules made for the Lavazza Blue Espresso system. These newly available coffee selections are the same great coffee blends as the LavazzaBlue Dolce, Intenso and Decaffeniato, but with a coarser grind that will easily pour a 12oz cup. In your office or home, use either the Lavazza Blue Pininfarina Pro (LB2210), or the Pininfarina Home (LB1010) machine.

How good are these new Americano capsules? The crema on a 12 oz cup is nearly as good as on a short espresso. Café-Razzi also makes a 10% donation to the Susan G. Komen breast cancer cure foundation on all sales of Amabile Americano Capsules.

First Impressions: Lavazza Pininfarina Blue LB1010 Home espresso maker

It's been a busy month of new machines here at Single Serve Coffee. We've featured the Cuisinart SS-1 Cup-O-Matic single serve coffee maker, and the new Breville BKC600XL Gourmet Single Cup Brewer. We also wanted to throw one more single serve coffee maker into the mix - the new new compact Lavazza Pininfarina Blue LB1010 Home espresso maker. Priced at $379, this is the most affordable Lavazza machine yet for the home that uses the patented Lavazza coffee, tea, and hot drink capsules (you can read our review of the larger Pininfarina from Lavazza here).

So far we really like the smaller Lavazza Pininfarina Blue LB1010 Home espresso maker. The machine is about half the size of the larger Lavazza Blue machine, and also a lot less power hungry. The water reservoir is smaller, but given the type of drinks you'll likely make - espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes, the smaller size hasn't bothered us. We've also been making quite a few lattes and cappuccinos.

Europe: Lavazza Allegro Coffee Pods for Senseo

Finally “true” coffee on Senseo!! Or at least that's what we're lead to believe here at Single Serve Coffee. We got word of these new coffee pods from reader Christian, who has just travelled back from Europe and picked up the Lavazza Allegro coffee pods for Senseo and thinks they're pretty good. We'll be pinging our sources overseas to see if we can get some ourselves, and hopefully they're as good as they claim.

These coffee pods will work great in your Senseo, Bunn My Cafe, Melitta One:One, simplehuman, Krups 1010 , GPOD, Home Cafe and other single serve coffee pod makers.

Review: Lavazza Espresso Point by Single Serve Coffee.com

In our continued commitment to review all the Single Serve Coffee systems, we bring you the Lavazza Espresso Point. When Single Serve Coffee started early last year, the Lavazza Espresso Point was one of the first single serve coffee machines we ran news on.

We received the Lavazza Espresso Point from Lilli at Aromacc.com. They run a web site called Aroma Cafe Culture that features many of the products you can get from Lavazza. Lavazza is a very old and very established Italian coffee brand and the Lavazza Espresso Point is a very unique hot beverage system.

The Lavazza Espresso Point uses prepackaged, gas-flushed cartridges, combined with Lavazza's proprietary machine technology. In a world where we have coffee pods, K-Cups, T-Discs, Espresso Pods, Coffee Capsules, it's quite amazing that there is yet another type of coffee cartridge or format in the single serve coffee world. But the fact remains - how good is the coffee from the Lavazza Espresso Point system and what are the details behind this system?
