If the price tag is understandably too steep for you, then look out on the Lavazza website for sales, where I've seen the price for this machine drop to as low as £124.50 at points. They would make a very enviable pair on your kitchen countertop. My personal choice would be the Smeg Milk Frother (opens in new tab). If you like to mix it up between espressos, lattes or cappuccinos, then you could even accompany this machine with one of the best milk frothers.
There's no assembly required, meaning as soon as you take this machine out of the box, you'll essentially have access to Italian-quality coffee at home straight away. If you love drinking espressos, or you want to get into drinking espressos then I can't imagine a better machine for you than the Lavazza A Modo Mio SMEG.

I find it's good to always give the drip tray and capsule drawer parts a good clean by rinsing them and scrubbing off any dried-out coffee before popping them back in. Then I consulted the guide and found out that if you pull the first section up, then it sieves out the water and leaves you just with the pods to put into your food bin.
LAVAZZA ESPRESSO HOW TO
I was pulling both out, and then being confused as to how to extract the pods from swimming in the espresso-y water. At first, I wasn't fully using the capabilities of the drawer. The drip tray comes out without effort, and then there's a ring that you can pull to get the drawer out. Getting to the capsule drawer is really easy with this machine. It depends on what your preferences are as a coffee drinker as to which kind of machine you'll pick up, but what I can say is that the espressos from this machine are enough to convert a latte drinker for good. There's no feature that enables you to steam milk with this machine, and Lavazza doesn't sell capsules for lattes or other milk-based drinks, like other machines such as the Bosch Tassimo My Way 2 do. While this is the system that worked for me, you should always check your own local council's recycling rules. When I came to emptying my machine, all I needed to do is add the used capsules to my separate food waste bin, which will then be sent for industrial composting. In terms of sustainability, all of the capsules I tried out were part of Lavazza's Eco Caps range, which in simple terms means that they deliver a serving of coffee in a compostable container. I've got my sights firmly set on the A Modo Mio Delizioso Capsules next. I was less keen on the fruitiness of the compostable capsules, but the joy with this machine is the entire range of Lavazza pods you can try out in order to find your favourite. The Rosso pods are so full-bodied and delicious that you can't help but go back for more. The taste of the espressos from this machine converted me into drinking short coffees, something I'd truthfully never done before, and the crema that is created on top looks divine.
LAVAZZA ESPRESSO FULL
In order to watch the full effect of your espresso forming, I'd recommend investing in these adorable Transparenza Espresso Cups Set (opens in new tab) too, which I now can't live without. The charm of pod coffee machines when choosing from the best coffee machines is the total ease of use, and there's truly not much that can go wrong when it comes to making espressos here. Making espresso in the Lavazza A Modo Mio SMEG coffee machine That's all you need to do in terms of operation, leaving you to the important job of watching your coffee start to dispense. Then select either the espresso or the espresso lungo button, and the light on your chosen coffee type will start blinking. You'll feel the pod sink down to where it needs to be and be punctured. Once that's done, insert your chosen pod by lifting the lever, popping it in and then lowering the lever back into place. If you don't run a whole tank of water through this machine when you first use it, it can't start to operate. There are a few reviews on Amazon that say they can't get this machine to work, and I think this step might be the reason behind some of those annoyances. Consulting the start-up guide, I was instructed to allow the water from the tank to run through the machine once before inserting a pod. I only have a tiny kitchen, but if you have a bigger space then you might run into issues. When plugging in this machine I noticed that the power cord is quite short.
