This is in part thanks to the tampered grounds within the pods, unlike others which contain loose grinds.

ResultsĬompatible with Lavazza’s eco pods and containing its A Modo Mio brew technology, both the espresso and lungo drinks produced were packed with flavour without any bitterness and topped with a hazelnut swirl of crema. There’s also no discernible handle to help lift the tank out. The top is removable but it is lower than the height of the machine, so proves tricky to fill, even by using a jug with a controlled spout. You need to be careful in emptying it as there was water in the base of ours. The grinds bin pulls out from above the second cup holder and consists of two compartments that rinse easily. However, one positive was the machine is incredibly quiet whilst in use. We recommend releasing the cap before removing your cup. We noticed dripping for approximately 10 seconds after the espresso was pulled, and again when releasing the handle to allow for pods to drop into the internal bin. This can prove frustrating for lungo drinkers. The family’s first restaurant opened in 1978. Hailing from Agrigento, Italy, the Farruggio’s brought their Italian heritage and love of authentic flavors with them. Any standard sized cup needs the drip tray removed and that leaves nothing to catch the drips if you remove the cup. a Modo Mio is more than just pizza and pasta the Farruggio family has a rich history as immigrants to the U.S. The drip tray really is only for espresso cups.

However, it has a lovely soft lift and lower mechanism that makes loading the pod an enjoyable part of the process. It only adds about 15cm extra in height but could be tricky under very low cupboards. The pod load and release lever lifts vertically. How easy is the Lavazza A Modo Mio SMEG to use?
