At Milan Design Week 2025, Italian coffee company Lavazza introduced the world to Tablì, its new tablet-based coffee system that doesn’t require capsules or compostable packaging.
The company says the new system is not only a development for Lavazza but the entire coffee industry. The tablets are formed of pressed ground coffee and are inserted into the machine for immediate brewing. In a statement, Lavazza described Tablì as: “the first 100 per cent coffee tab created out of the perfect combination of research and design, unleashing the aroma, colour and unmistakable flavour of coffee to offer a total sensory experience”.
“Constant challenges and the quest for innovation have always driven the Group in its continuous improvement of the product offering, as a way to stand out in an increasingly competitive market and meet people’s ever-changing needs. Tablì is an important milestone for us, the result of a five-year journey involving over 15 patents that today represents the future of single-serve coffee,” says Carlo Colpo, Lavazza Group Marketing Communication and Brand Home Director.
“We’ve decided to unveil this new development against the backdrop of Milan Design Week, with an immersive installation that features an appealing and original aesthetic where everything revolves around coffee. We worked together with renowned designer and architect Juliana L Vasconcellos to transport visitors into the experience of 100 per cent coffee in a completely new way.”
