Lavazza Piccina Rd

Tall and slim, the Lavazza A Modo Mio Piccina coffee maker looks scorching – whether in stylish black, fiery red or innocent white. As is the norm with Lavazza, the visuals of the coffee maker are just as important as the end product, and this is clearly reflected in the way the A Modo Mio Piccina is designed.

There are no stodgy or unsightly protrusions or buttons – everything is kept streamlined and closely integrated with the rest of the machine. Even the milk steamer, which with other machine sometimes sticks out like a stray tree branch, looks like a natural extension of the Piccina.

So the Lavazza A Modo Mio Piccina scores highly when it comes to design – no huge surprise there. Similarly, the taste of the espresso made with this apparatus is of the quality coffee lovers have come to expect from Lavazza: it’s strong without being overwhelming or excessively bitter, and with the 24 free capsules that come with the machine, users will be able to try out different flavours.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio Piccina’s user interface is kept nice and simple – nobody wants to feel like they’re hacking into a state security system when all they want is a cup of coffee – and the drip tray is very easy to remove and clean.

There are no frills like a cup warmer, and the range of coffee types is restricted to espresso and cappuccino, although there is a hot water function to make tea.
