Lavazza Jolie Coffee Machine Review

Lavazza Jolie Coffee Machine



If I could use one word to describe my first impression of the Lavazza Jolie Coffee Machine, it would be "compact". This coffee machine will suit those of you who are struggling for space in their kitchen. Put an oven glove on it, and the Jolie will be hidden from view!

The Lavazza Jolie is available in a variety of colours, including blue, green, red and white. The colours are fun and vibrant, and you can either match it to your existing decor or add a splash of colour around the kitchen and brighten it up.

Lavazza Jolie Design and Features


This little Lavazza coffee machine is well designed. It seems obvious that someone at Lavazza gave some thought to the design before production went ahead. The internal compartment has two parts, there is a container and a drainer and which are independent of each other. This allows you to throw liquid from the used capsules into the sink, then throw the used pods into the bin. This is quite helpful as I hate the idea of a soggy bin.

The cup platform can also be removed so you can use larger cups and mugs too.

The Lavazza Jolie has one button that has multi-functions depending on what you want it to do. It can be used to switch the coffee machine on/off, or start/stop dispensing. There is an opening into which you can drop your capsules too.  The chrome bar can be rotated to lock the capsules securely into place and to release it after its been used.

There is a 600ml water tank at the rear of the coffee machine which is just the right size for the Jolie. Another feature is that after 9 minutes of non-usage, the Lavazza Jolie  coffee machine will shut itself down automatically.

Using the Jolie Coffee Machine


The Jolie is easy to fill with water and doesn't take long at all due to the small 600ml tank and the fact that the lid can be detached to make it even easier to fill.

Drop an A Modo Mio coffee pod into the shaped recess at the top, rotate the chrome bar forward to lock the pod into place. The Jolie will reach optimal coffee making temperature in approximately 15 seconds.

The Lavazza Jolie will dispense around 150ml of coffee in one go. It is not the quickest machine at dispensing and seems quite slow. Once this is done, rotate the chrome bar backwards, and this will release and drop the capsule into the internal bin.

Make no mistake, the Lavazza Jolie makes an incredible cup of coffee in my view. I loved the aromatic and inviting coffee it brewed. However, the lack of a preset in dispensing coffee means that you have to work out how much you need to get that espresso just right if you have an acquired taste.

Summary


The Jolie does not have a milk function and the milk needs to be frothed separately. However, this is a beautifully simple coffee machine, and makes a gorgeous cup of coffee with the supplied pods.
