Third-party reviews

What we like about Lavazza A Modo Mio Voicy

  • Built-in Amazon Alexa allows voice-controlled coffee brewing, smart home management, and music streaming
  • Companion app provides advanced customization for coffee temperature, strength, and inventory tracking
  • High-quality espresso extraction, often cited as superior to competitors
  • Slim, compact design fits well in small kitchens
  • Compostable coffee pods available, enhancing sustainability

What we don't like about Lavazza A Modo Mio Voicy

  • High price point compared to other pod machines
  • Voice commands require specific phrasing (e.g., 'ask Lavazza to...'), which can be unintuitive
  • Still requires manual interaction to insert pods and remove the cup, limiting true hands-free convenience
  • No integrated milk frother, requiring a separate device for lattes
  • Only available in one color (black)

Verdict

The Lavazza A Modo Mio Voicy is an innovative 1500W capsule espresso machine measuring 157 x 380 x 300 mm and weighing 4.5 kg, highlighted by a large 1.1-litre removable water tank and a 10-capsule used pod drawer. Its standout feature is a built-in 5W smart speaker with Amazon Alexa integration and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to queue custom espresso or espresso lungo lengths (from 10ml to 245ml), increase temperature, check the weather, or stream music hands-free using the machine or the Piacere Lavazza app. Main pros include its quick 35-second heat-up time, high-quality espresso extraction with rich crema, automated alerts for descaling or empty tanks, and smart home control capabilities. However, notable cons include its high retail price for a single-serve pod system, a lack of any integrated milk frothing or texturing mechanics, and a slightly finicky voice-command setup process that still requires the physical manual loading of capsules.
