Lavazza A Modo Mio Tiny Eco

Our verdict · A compact, part-recycled-plastic espresso machine for buyers who want a smaller environmental footprint and Lavazza's own roasts.

Buy it if

You drink espresso or lungo, like Lavazza's coffee and want a machine and pods with green credentials.

Skip it if

You want a large pod choice or milky drinks, as the A Modo Mio ecosystem is smaller and it makes only short black coffee.

The Tiny Eco is the choice for buyers who want to lower the environmental impact of pod coffee without going manual. Lavazza says it is the brand's first machine made from recycled plastic (61% on the black model, less on the colours), paired with an eco pod range, and at 26 x 13.9 x 27cm and 3.7kg it is genuinely compact. It brews espresso and lungo through the A Modo Mio system, with a removable two-height cup rest and automatic shut-off. The trade-offs place it fifth: the A Modo Mio pod ecosystem is smaller and less widely stocked than Nespresso's or Dolce Gusto's, it makes only short black coffee with no milk system, and reviewers treat it as a simple espresso machine rather than an all-rounder. For an espresso or lungo drinker who wants green credentials and Lavazza's roasts, though, it is a tidy, affordable option that is often discounted or bundled well below its RRP.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Made largely from recycled plastic with an eco pod range, per Lavazza
  • Very compact and light, with automatic shut-off and a two-height cup rest
  • Often available in bundles that lower the effective price

Cons

  • A Modo Mio pods have a smaller, less widely stocked range than Nespresso or Dolce Gusto
  • Espresso and lungo only, with no mug-sized coffee or milk frothing
