Blue / In Black

The Lavazza Blue system, also known as In Black, is one of the most dependable choices for anyone who wants a full, creamy espresso at home or in the office. This category brings together both original Lavazza capsules and cheaper compatible alternatives from selected brands, so you can pick the flavour you like best without compromising on the cup. It is the ideal starting point for anyone looking for reliable Lavazza Blue capsules, from the boldest blends to true decaf options.

Available brands

• Lavazza with original Blue / In Black capsules: Vigoroso, Ricco, Espresso Intenso, Dolce 100% Arabica, Venezia, Decaffeinato, plus the Tales of Napoli range and the new arrival Tales of Roma.
• Maracatu, our own house brand, with the Gran Crema blend and the bold Miscela Intenso at 10/10 intensity.
• Borbone and its Sistema Blue with the Miscela Oro, balanced and aromatic.
• Lollo Caffè with Passione Blu Miscela Nera and the caffeine-free Dek version.
• Verzì, with intensely aromatic capsules in a compatible format.

How to choose the right blend

If you love a bold character, reach for the fullest blends such as Maracatu Intenso 10/10, Lavazza Vigoroso or Espresso Intenso. For a rounder, softer cup, Venezia and Borbone Miscela Oro are ideal, both with a balanced taste. Anyone who prefers sweetness will find a delicate profile in Lavazza Dolce, made with 100% Arabica, while for the evening there are two genuine decafs: the original Lavazza Decaffeinato and Lollo Passione Blu Dek.

Formats and compatibility

Every capsule on this page works with machines running the Lavazza Blue / In Black system. You will find them in packs of 80, like Maracatu and Verzì, and in packs of 100 for the Lavazza, Borbone and Lollo lines. On the product pages you can select larger quantities — up to 640 capsules for the Maracatu range and up to 400 for the Lavazza originals — so you can stock up in a single order. The brand filter at the top makes it easy to switch between Maracatu, Borbone, Lavazza, Lollo Caffè and Verzì.

Other systems and products

If you use more than one machine at home, take a look at the other SYSTEMS in our catalogue. Staying with Lavazza, you can explore Lavazza Firma, Espresso Point and A Modo Mio, while for other standards there are Nespresso, Caffitaly System and Dolce Gusto. And if you are thinking of upgrading your equipment, the Espresso Machines section has the right model for your preferred system.
