Lavazza Expert Coffee Classy Plus Single Serve ALL-IN-ONE Espresso & Coffee Brewer Machine - LB 400 - (Includes Built-in Milk Vessel/Frother)

This is one of the best purchases we have ever made! The design of this coffee machine, which can brew coffee, espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, and lungo, latte, is brilliant—no mess at all! Although we love cappuccinos, our previous machine was difficult to operate, and the frother created a mess. Eventually, it just sat unused on the counter.In contrast, this new machine is incredibly easy to operate, consistently produces perfect cups every time, and is SO EASY TO CLEAN! Surprisingly, I thought I would only use it for the fancy milk-based coffees, but I actually prefer the 8 oz coffee it makes over any other coffee I've had. To me, the milk coffees are a real treat, but my husband has a couple every day and loves them.We did purchase a second glass cup because we use them frequently. Although my husband just drinks his cappuccino out of the glass cup, I prefer to pour it into a mug. It looks just as pretty!We use this product about six times a day and utilize all its features. Every coffee option is delicious, and our guests really enjoy it. We also offer a variety of syrups, cinnamon, and raw sugar for our guests to choose from. Overall, it is fun, tasty, and easy for everyone to use.To use the double shot feature, you must get the LavAzza Gold Selection 2 (50 cents each). There are other options you can try for the single, but we like the LavAzza expert espresso Classico (40 cents each). We buy the pods on Amazon. They are very reasonable.I highly recommend! We have had it now for 3 months and just did our first descale. Super easy directions to follow.

I had a LOR machine…I really like some of the coffee but you’re limited with that machine as to flavors and availability. I bought the Keurig that has the cream frother built in. I wasn’t crazy about the taste of the coffee and neither was my husband. I did discover that I loved Lavazza brand coffee. It’s better than Starbucks imo. So I bought the Lavazza machine…it is amazing. The coffee has a lot of substance and a clean flavor. It doesn’t have that stale weird k cup capsule flavor but does taste like barista made coffee. This machine has a ton of options and many choices of coffees and flavors. I’m so glad I went ahead and bought this! Well well worth it!Edit: I still love the machine and it works great. I was curious why this machine is under $200 and another very similar model is $409. I looked closely and here’s the difference: one is manufactured in Italy and the company offers some warranty details. It’s also 1350 Watts. That would be the $409 dollar model. The other is 1250 watts and manufactured in China. Lavazza won’t offer any respite if you have an issue. Having said that I love this machine and can’t imagine it being much better for the price.

I brag about my Classy Plus every chance I get. Lavazza is my favorite coffee. Adding to that the ability to make an espresso or latte with real milk, and not those weird milk-like pods like other brands - it is perfect. I pop in a Lavazza pod (of course), fill the included jug with milk of my choice and hit a button. I walk off and come back to a perfect latte with zero skill on my part. Pod prices vary, but I get the best selection and price at Italy’s Best Coffee- Lavazza’s US retailer.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this coffee machine after months of figuring out which one would give me the authentic cappuccino I have had for years with my Tassimo. I had real milk and espresso pods with Tassimo and needed something that made milk based drinks as well as regular good coffee without many steps. The Expert Classy Plus fit the bill because I didn't have to use a separate frother like Nespresso or have flavored coffee with Keurig. My machine works ok, but I was told by Lavazza technical service that the amount of water dispersed into the holding capsule compartment is normal and on occasion the pod needs to be nudged in place, or it will get stuck. Both issues bother me, and don't think any amount of water should be the norm for an empty compartment of used capsules. The amount of coffee in each capsule is more than Nespresso which gives a bolder taste which I like, but I still might return it as I have 30 days. Wish Tassimo was still a current machine with easy to order available compatible coffee. Lavazza is the number one coffee in Italy, and it is authentic, but the machine seems to need some tweaks, so I am on the fence at this point as to what the alternative is. Mine could be defective, as others who have the same machine do not have water accumulated in the capsule storage in the machine. I would need a replacement to find out. What to do...what to do...UPDATE 4.24.23 Around two weeks ago the machine started leaking water from the bottom all over my counter and I wrote to Lavazza again explaining the timeline of defective issues which they were aware of with this new one added and did not get any solution to date. I am positive I got a defective unit, as all Lavazza machines can't be this way. Two stars is for the coffee taste and ability to make a real cappuccino in one process, not my experience with a defective unit. I called Amazon in my despair and explained the chain of events, and they refunded my money! I am very grateful for the great customer service Amazon provides and appreciate their diligence in helping me. THANK YOU AMAZON!

Easy to set up and operate right out of the box. Coffee pods must be Lavazza which don’t seem to be available in local stores but readily available on line.Coffee is rich and smooth, much improved over K-cup brews. Milk drinks are cleverly made in the supplied glass cup, but we weren’t able to get much milk froth using oat milk. Tomorrow morning I”ll try dairy milk as the manufacturer recommends.
