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

We have a Motor Home and when we travel we tried several different methods for making coffee, French press, etc. We are spoiled at home with our automated coffee machine that does milk based fancy drinks that we have become accustomed to. We tried bringing our home coffee machine with us a few times, worked fine but its just a big machine that takes up a lot of room, which we don't have in a small motor home kitchen. Not a lot of options in an automated coffee machine that's compact though, I was actually looking at a Keurig type machine when I stumbled across this little gem. This is basically a Keurig but WAY better. Ease of a Keurig with the fancy options of an automated machine.I was so excited when I found this, its small and compact but also does all the fancy milk based drinks we want when we travel. (I mean when you get old and spoiled you want what you want!) We had already been using Lavazza beans for our home automated machine so we get to use the same coffee we love and now have a compact machine that will do the drinks we want too. Although I am not usually a big "pod" fan for traveling they work so great! No messy coffee grounds to deal with or pack, everything is in a nice neat pod that makes morning coffee fast and clean.Now, taste! OMG this machine makes amazing coffee! So much so that we debate using it at home now as well. The foam froth being from a spinning design steams/whips up the milk and creates a soft and decadent foam that is so creamy and delicious, just like a coffee shop.(our home machine just steams it so its not as smooth of a foam) Coffee brews flavorful and hot and the end result drink is so good! We certainly feel spoiled being in the middle of no where and having the best cup of coffee to sip every morning.It doesn't take up much space, makes excellent coffee, the pods are easy to pack and stay fresh - no griding of beans needed. Cleaning the machine is simple as all the pods drop down into an easy bin you just pull out and dump. The screen is easy to use, it brews fast and coffee comes out piping hot. I got this on a black Friday deal for about $135 and that feels like a steal for what this machine does and the quality of coffee. Absolutely love it and highly recommend.

These are great and they're on sale ATM for like $129, which is a steal for a quality coffee/latte maker.Anyhow, got a few gripes I wish the designers would read to improve this product:- Why isn't there a warning that you haven't closed the coffee pod lever before you're permitted to brew coffee? You have one for when the empty coffee pod container isn't in place. I'm usually half awake and miss that sometimes.- If you get one of these and it only produces 4 ounces of coffee, you fix it by turning the coffee maker on, inserting a coffee pot and coffee cup and holding the 8oz button until the coffee starts streaming. Hold it until you get the amount you want and it will remember the setting. I set mine to 8 ounces, as regular cup of coffee.- It heats up quickly so, kudos there but why is there also no low-water indicator? Again, I'm barely awake when I'm making coffee.I know that features cost money but these are simple features which would round out this product nicely.Otherwise, I love this thing.The coffee it produces tastes (to me) as good as the coffee I carefully grind and brew and it heats up quickly.It steams the soy milk I use (or almond milk, which seems creamier.) and mixes the espresso right into the milk and there you have a nice latte.I recommend preheating the milk with some honey in it so you have frothy, sweet milk. Otherwise, the milk tastes flat and tasteless.It's quiet, looks nice, doesn't take up much space but it's not compatible with other coffee pods, limiting our access to coffee and I haven't tried a reusable coffee pod yet. Reports don't look good.

Best expresso machine I’ve had for years! Previosly I’ve owned two large Delonghi automated machines (steam wand), 3 Nespresso machines, pour over coffee, and now this one. I love it so far: delicious expresso and automated frothing. Tastes great!It’s relatively small, a little larger than a Nespresso original, but I no longer need the Aeroccino, and the espresso tastes better. Not as large and expensive as the big Delonghi which had it’s own extensive maintenanceOnly have to wash the frother pitcher, simple cleaning once a week. I’ll probably do more extensive interior cleaning once a year.I’ve read they do not last a long time, but at $150-$180 a pop, I can buy multiple before I get to the cost of the highly recommended machines.Loving it!.

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!

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 originally looked at the Lavazza Blue Classy Mini and then saw the Extra Classy Plus for cheaper than the Mini. I've had a higher end K-cup machine as well as a pump driven Gaggia Classic espresso machine. I've never had a machine like this and it works flawlessly. After using all 3, I'll stick with the Lavazza Classy Plus. Just as good of espresso without the mess of cleanup of a dedicated espesso machine. I was concerned that the frother top lid would be some cheap plastic. However, I saw that it was of a semi-flexible thick rubbery plastic and it is not brittle. The machine works flawlessly. Even my wife, who does not drink coffee, was impressed that I could make a macchiato with almond milk in less than 1 minute. Setup is easy, the machine is very sleek, very quiet and puts out coffee bar quality coffee. I also made my first espresso lungo with the push of a button. It still had a thick Crema on top. The other thing I like about this particular brand is the low cost of their coffee. It is much cheaper per capsule than K-Cup or Nespresso. You're able to get top notch espresso of a very similar quality as a coffee bar for around 30 cents per shot. To me, that is just a great deal. Right now, Amazon has an incredible deal on this machine. I think it was $138. Heck, the Mini Blue which only does shots of espresso is $178! Why not get the larger machine that can do so many other drinks, is able to use both Lavazza Blue or Extra capsules and also has a much larger water tank? I do not regret this purchase at all. Beautiful machine! BTW, the handle is metal, mechanism is smooth and the sidewalls are of a glossy deep blue. VERY pretty on the countertop.

Great machine. Not good for large volume

Delicious coffee and superb machine 😍I easily make all types of coffee drinks, wish I got this sooner. No more $7 lattes, I get it all from at home. It’s simple, easy to use, no complaints.

Love this coffee maker! The fact that it uses pods but can make an espresso, latte and cappuccino is the best. The only downfall is the pods are very limited to a few brands. However, the brands are italian coffee so thats an upside. Lavazza coffee is very good. I just wish there were more options for this pod type. I have had it for almost 2 years.

Italians do it best! The machine is simple to use and the coffee pods are top quality! Lavazza did not disappoint. I love how the mug is glass and not plastic and I love how many parts of the machine are dishwasher safe. The only con is that the pods are difficult to find in Canada but you can buy from many suppliers in the USA. I am very happy with my morning lattes and cappuccinos!!!

the coffee is very good, the options with dairy (foam) work excellent, and coffee is hot (not super, but as hot as any cup instant brew.) Not trying to sound like a fanboy, but this is a great product and worth the money. Have owned Keurig, Tassimo, and a Nespresso. This Lavazza machine blows them all away. only thing that is a bit of a pain is the cups aren't sold in almost any stores. so don't let your supply run to low before ordering online. Also they coffee is twice the price of cheaper cups. But its also twice as good in my opinion. one other small drawback. it only comes with one cup and lid device to make dairy based drinks. so can't enjoy a cup with someone else unless you buy and additional cup or pour into different cup. And they aren't cheap $70 ish and are almost impossible to get. I ordered one, and two weeks later the seller cancelled order.

I usually don’t write reviews but this little machine makes one heck of a great coffee. The cappuccino is my go to every day so so good and easy to use. Always the same creamy results and the coffee is hot ready to drink. I use the Lavazza Top pods the coffee is Not Bitter just smooth and yummy 😋 I want to buy another one for cottage but waiting to see if there are any offers 😊

Contact Amazon and says after 30 days, I need to contact the company in Italy.Try to call them and no answers.I did a video to show how bad is the machine.Unfortunately Lavazza have a good coffe but a very bad quality of machine and customer services.I purchase more than 200 capsules, that I have to get away. This is shame.I will not purchase anymore Lavazza, I will purchase other brands that have better customer service and local representatives!!!Don't advise to purchase this machine or same capsules.
