    Delicious espresso, cappuccino, or even American style coffee

    These pods, and the corresponding machine that Lavazza sells make awesome coffee at a reasonable price. Each of the pods will easily produce a double shot of espresso, roughly 3 ounces. Personally, I use it for making a lungo, and I have the machine programmed to dispense about 4 1/2 ounces.

    Still the best espresso pods!

    Excellent caffe but the price has gone up up up!I've been buying it for 3 or 4 years .. All good flavors including the decaf..The Italians do coffee right. I've read they use the Blue minis in their kitchens from folks who have relatives there. I will keep buying it anyway.
