Lavazza Unveils Tablì: The First 100% Coffee Tab Machine in the U.S.
In a groundbreaking move, Lavazza North America has officially introduced Tablì, the world’s first coffee machine that utilizes tabs made entirely from 100% coffee. This revolutionary product debuts in the U.S. after its successful launch in Italy, representing a significant step in the evolution of single-serve coffee systems. Designed to cater to coffee enthusiasts who are conscious of what goes into their cup, Tablì eliminates the need for capsules, individual wrapping, or coatings. With Tablì, consumers are presented with a new way to savor coffee, while being assured that their drink consists solely of pure coffee—nothing artificial.
Tablì stands out as Lavazza's most ambitious product innovation to date, built on a rich legacy of over 130 years in the coffee industry. The development of Tablì involved five years of research and development, resulting in more than 15 patents. The technology behind the tabs enables a unique compression process, where ground and tamped coffee is formed into solid tabs. This innovative method allows coffee lovers to see, smell, and experience the coffee before it brews. The Tablì machine seamlessly delivers café-level quality espresso in seconds, requiring no grinding or measuring.
Each tab is precisely dosed and designed in a concave shape that permits the coffee to expand during the brewing process. This technique ensures the creation of Crema—a thick, velvety layer of foam that characterizes superior espresso, delivered consistently in every cup. The machine's aesthetic, with its sculpted silhouette and intuitive one-touch functionality, comes in three appealing finishes: Graphite Black, Sand White, and Walnut Brown. To enhance the coffee experience, Tablì includes accessories such as a milk frother and a dedicated tab storage holder, positioning it as a premium option for making various coffee drinks—from lattes to iced Americanos—all from the comfort of home.
At launch, Tablì will offer five delightful blends for consumers to choose from: Super Crema, Espresso, Double Espresso, Lungo, and Decaf. Each blend is correctly dosed, ready to brew, and allows users to embark on a flavourful journey without the hassle of traditional coffee preparation methods. As stated by Daniele Foti, Vice President of Marketing for Lavazza North America, "Tablì eliminates the trade-off between quality and convenience entirely. It's a true multisensory experience, where what’s in the cup reflects what’s in your hands, ensuring the perfect espresso every time."
The introduction of Tablì is not only a product innovation but also a strategic move to amplify Lavazza’s presence in the dynamic U.S. market. As single-serve coffee continues to gain popularity globally, Tablì aims to carve out a new niche that has yet to be explored in this category. Lavazza is committed to positioning Tablì as a centerpiece of its growth strategy in North America.
Currently, Tablì is available for pre-order at TabliCoffee.us through a bundled offer that includes the machine, milk frother, and a 60-count variety collection of Tablì tabs for $99.99 (a $249.99 value). The official launch in the U.S. is set for August 2026, with plans to widen availability via LavazzaUSA.com and Amazon shortly after.
Founded in Turin in 1895, the Lavazza Group has maintained its position as a key player in the global coffee industry, generating over €3.9 billion in revenue and resolving to provide top-quality coffee with a focus on sustainability and innovation. Lavazza’s commitment to revolutionizing coffee consumption continues with initiatives like Tablì, ensuring that every cup not only meets consumer expectations but sets new standards for quality and environmental responsibility. As Lavazza continues to awaken a better world each morning, Tablì signifies the next step in its journey to enhance the global coffee culture.
