Choose the Jolie&Milk if you regularly make hot-milk drinks and can accommodate its wider, taller body. Lavazza’s official English name for the integrated-frother model is Jolie&Milk; “Milk Up” may refer to a retailer or regional listing, so confirm the exact model before buying. This comparison is based on Lavazza’s published specifications and instructions, not hands-on testing.
What is the difference between the Jolie Plus and Jolie&Milk?
The clearest difference is milk preparation. Lavazza lists espresso and long espresso for the Jolie Plus. The Jolie&Milk adds an integrated milk frother and a hot-milk selection. That makes the latter the more relevant model for milk-based drinks, but the published specifications do not establish how either coffee or its frothed milk tastes or performs in practice.

Both are single-cup A Modo Mio capsule machines with a 0.6 L water tank, a listed 35-second heat-up time, room for five used capsules, and a listed nine-minute automatic shut-off. The 35 seconds is Lavazza’s heat-up specification, not an independently measured time to make a drink. See Lavazza’s Jolie Plus specifications and Jolie&Milk specifications.

Which machine fits your counter?
The Jolie Plus is narrower and shorter, but it is deeper: its listed width is 124 mm and depth is 330 mm. The Jolie&Milk is wider and taller, at 222 mm wide and 331 mm high, but its listed depth is 217 mm. Measure the space in all three directions, including room to reach the controls and refill the tank; calling one simply “smaller” would obscure this trade-off. The Plus is also 1.1 kg lighter according to Lavazza’s listed weights.

What capsules do they use?
The Jolie Plus product page explicitly states compatibility with Lavazza A Modo Mio capsules. Do not assume capsules made for other systems will fit. The Jolie&Milk is identified as an A Modo Mio machine on Lavazza’s product page; check the exact model and local packaging before purchasing capsules. Capsule prices and current availability vary by market, and no comparable current prices are established here.
What should you know about milk and cleaning?
The Jolie&Milk manual says to use cold milk and not to reuse milk that has already been heated. Check the instructions supplied with the exact regional model for preparation and cleaning steps; the manual is available from Lavazza as Jolie&Milk operating instructions. The Jolie Plus manual is also available as Jolie Plus operating instructions.

There is a confusing detail in Lavazza’s product information: each specification table displays “Descaling procedure: No,” while the care guidance on the same product pages advises descaling roughly every three months, more often in hard-water areas. Follow the care guidance and the instructions for your exact machine rather than interpreting that specification field as a reason never to descale. Lavazza recommends a coffee-machine descaling product and says not to use vinegar. It also instructs users to fill the water tank only with cold, still drinking water; that instruction applies to the tank, not the Jolie&Milk frother.

Which one should you buy?
Choose the Jolie Plus if
- You mainly want espresso or long espresso and do not need the integrated milk-frothing function.
- A narrower, lighter machine suits your counter or moving the machine matters to you.
- You are comfortable using A Modo Mio capsules and checking the local price and availability before committing.
Consider the Jolie&Milk if
- You regularly prepare hot milk as well as espresso and want a machine with an integrated frother.
- Your counter has room for its greater listed width and height.
- You have checked the exact product name, model generation, electrical rating, included parts, and care instructions for your market.
These are specification-based buying distinctions, not conclusions from comparative taste, froth, noise, or durability tests. Lavazza’s pages showed both models as unavailable in the market examined, so check local availability rather than assuming either can be ordered now. The published electrical rating for each is 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz; verify that it matches your destination market before purchase.
