Works with eco capsules fineCould push water through the capsules better especially when you need to do it twice to get half a mug for a decent sized coffee.The capsule tray warning goes off after 3 or 4capsules not the 10 stated.It would be nice if there was an option for mug of coffee, and the ability to plumb a machine into mains water somehow.

Good size, quite and looks great.

DO NOT BUY. This machine does not take the eco pods and now they are the only pods you can buy! I’ve contacted the supplier who I bought it from and they won’t do nothing and have said it’s basically tough luck. I have to buy a new machine that’s compatible with the eco pods. The old pods work fine but you cannot buy them any more. This machine now has zero use.

I purchased one of these and followed all of the instructions. It worked fine when just water was put through, but as soon as a capsule was put in, it struggled to get the coffee through into the cup. More ended up in the container for collecting the capsules than in the cup. I contacted Lavazza who said it might be a bad batch of capsules, but I tried from another box and the same thing happened. So I returned the machine and got a refund as the seller had stopped supplying them. I bought another, assuming it was a one-off fault, from another seller. However, exactly the same fault occurred, with just a dribble of coffee at the most, so again this was returned for a refund. In case you think it was me, I have used a Nespresso machine for years with no problem until it finally broke down. Also, there is only one way you can put the capsules in, so you can't go wrong there! I have now purchased a Tassimo My Way 2 and am very pleased with the performance and the variety of drinks available.

Makes great coffee.Pods seem to be cheaper than other brands.Lots of pods available on lineSo far so goodWe had the last model that lasted 2 years, hopefully this one will last a bit longer.

So glad I bought this little machine.Easy to use and clean. Makes a great coffee in seconds.All the pods we have tried so far have been great flavour. Sits very neatly on the side. Good service from the supplier.Very happy with my purchase.

Great so far 5/5

We love a good expresso, and our old machine Lavazza Magia Plus was and not producing proper crema anymore, despite regular descaling, as and when directed. We have maintained it but still we are are in a hardwater area that takes its toll on coffee machine. The Idola we have purchased this time, is making lovely expresso, and is very quiet. Lavazza is the best tasting coffee, and the lowest price per capule, so it was a no brainer to get another Laazza machine, we are not regetting this purchase, and highly recommend this machine.

Same make to replace one I had worn out.This did take five years regular use.

Marvellous flavour and value.

Excellent product. Easy to use and clean. Coffee tastes better at home since I've got ti's machine.Highly recommended

Love this coffee and this is the best Lavazza coffee machine I have had.

This machine does what it should, making perfect coffee with a good head of crema.Lavazza have a good range of coffee flavoured coffees, no strange added flavours, just coffee at its best. The crema is the result of the natural brewing of the coffee, not additives as in some competing brands.A quiet,competent coffee machine with no silly additions.Excellent

Love this machine and my favourite coffee too xxSpeedy delivery and excellent customer service

I've owned the previous model 'Fantasia' for around 3-4 years and was always very happy with it - the milk frother started playing up so I decided it was time to replace.I was convinced I would end up with a bean-to-cup machine since I always felt guilty on the plastic waste from all the pods that I had consumed - that was until I discovered that Lavazza has now (since late 2019) developed a fully bio-degradable coffee capsule!! This was enough to persuade me and I bought this machine.For those interested, one of the main differences between this machine and the fantasia is that this machine is 100% produced by Lavazza. This means if there is anything wrong, you go to Lavazza (or the store you bought it from) and you will have 0 hassle. This was not the case beforehand, where the Fantasia model was co-owned by AEG, so you would have to go to them. From what I gathered, it sounds like the partnership between Lavazza-AEG ended badly, so Lavazza produced a new model independently!I won't bother going into the features (as other reviews do this), I'll compare it to the previous 'Lavazza Fantasia' machine:Pros:- More compact- Buttons feel very premium - the whole thing feels better than Fantasia actually- New biodegradable capsule range at the same price as before- Glass cup- Sensors to tell you when the machine is full- Even easier than before - just put the milk in and let the rest unfold- The milk frother element attaches to the machine - this means you can use ANY cup you want (as long as it supports the same volume of milk to avoid spillage)- The coffee quality is very comparable to the previous model- Faster heatingCons:- The glass cup is great if you want to drink it right away.... quite often I put it in a travel cup which makes this a little tricky without spillage - Saying that, you can use any cup with the machine since the milk frother is attached to the machine - so it's just a question of finding a jug. I hope Lavazza will bring out one- Currently, you cannot buy more Cups - but I've been told are being

I won't bother going into the features (as other reviews do this), I'll compare it to the previous 'Lavazza Fantasia' machine:

Pros:
- More compact
- Buttons feel very premium - the whole thing feels better than Fantasia actually
- New biodegradable capsule range at the same price as before
- Glass cup
- Sensors to tell you when the machine is full
- Even easier than before - just put the milk in and let the rest unfold
- The milk frother element attaches to the machine - this means you can use ANY cup you want (as long as it supports the same volume of milk to avoid spillage)
- The coffee quality is very comparable to the previous model
- Faster heating

Cons:
- The glass cup is great if you want to drink it right away.... quite often I put it in a travel cup which makes this a little tricky without spillage - Saying that, you can use any cup with the machine since the milk frother is attached to the machine - so it's just a question of finding a jug. I hope Lavazza will br

Excellent coffee machine, lots of choice of pods, comes with a starter selection of pods and after registration you can claim a free box of your choice, very quiet in operation.

It’s a great machine. It’s simple to use, easy to clean and minimum fuss. The only negative is that the pour is a little slow. I know it can’t be quick otherwise the coffee won’t turn out as it should but I’ve seen faster pours with just as good results. I’d definitely recommend the machine though for lovers of a modi mio pods

We are really very happy with this coffee machine. The interface is flexible and allows you to do everything you might want. It offers you three alternative coffees — espresso, long espresso or Americano — the length of which are programmable, or you can choose how much water to add pressing a button to start and again to finish. If you change your mind, you can add more water without having to insert a new capsule. Other advantages: it's very quiet and the tank holds up to ten used capsules. Lavazza coffee is always good and offers a dozen different flavours. The company has said that from September 2019 it will sell biodegradable capsules.At the moment there seems to be a long wait time to buy it from Amazon in the UK. Maybe try amazon.it—though it would then need an electrical adapter.
