We have about 20 years a "La Pavoni Professional". I'm in a nostalgic sense, a little hurt when I have to write here that we have this machine from now rather in the closet: The capsules (we will find the gold and silver cappucino, espresso blue best) yield an espresso or cappuccino, the tastes stunningly good. The capsules fit well in the AEG / Electrolux machine, are not "bloated" or similar, as we read it in other products. So really "compatible". We will buy these capsules again and look forward to the next espresso with it. Thanks to the manufacturer!
