Lavazza launches Tablì, the first single serve machine using 100% coffee tabs

At a launch party in Brooklyn, New York this week, Lavazza North America unveiled Tablì, a 100% coffee tab and single-serve coffee machine. No capsule, no individual wrapping, and no coating. Following its successful introduction in Italy, Tablì brings an entirely new format to the US single-serve market — one built for coffee lovers who want to know exactly what’s in their cup: pure coffee, nothing more.

Tablì is Lavazza’s most ambitious product innovation to date. Every Tablì tab is 100% coffee, made possible by proprietary technology that compresses precisely dosed, ground, and tamped coffee into a solid, ready-to-use tab that you can smell, feel, and see before it’s ever brewed. Tablì arrives – after five years of R&D and more than 15 patents – ready to brew, delivering café-quality espresso in seconds with no setup, grinding, or measuring required.

The tab’s concave shape lets the coffee expand as it brews, producing crema plus: the velvety, persistent crema associated with a proper espresso, delivered cup after cup. The machine, designed in Italy with a sculpted silhouette and a bean-shaped slider engineered for intuitive, one-touch use, is available in three finishes: Graphite Black, Sand White, and Walnut Brown. A milk frother and a dedicated tab storage holder round out the range, making Tablì a premium foundation for pure espresso and every creation built on it, from lattes and cappuccinos to iced Americanos at home.

At its launch, Tablì tabs will be available in five blends: Super Crema, Espresso, Double Espresso, Lungo, and Decaf. Each tab is precisely dosed and ready to brew, with no measuring or grinding required.

“Tablì eliminates the trade-off between quality and convenience entirely, it’s a true multisensory experience: coffee you can smell, feel, and see before it ever brews. And what’s in the cup matches what’s in your hands: the perfect espresso, every single time,” said Daniele Foti, vp of marketing, Lavazza North America. “But Tablì is more than a product innovation — it’s how we establish Lavazza as a brand that genuinely matters to American coffee drinkers.” He added that “the US is one of the most dynamic markets in the world, and the momentum we’ve built here across our different segments (per Nielsen for the 52 weeks ended 23 May 2026) is exactly why we’re bringing Tablì here as the first market outside Italy. This is our biggest bet on this market yet, and we intend to shape what comes next.”

Single-serve is one of the fastest-growing segments in global coffee and Tablì is designed to open a new space within it, one the category has not yet offered. For Lavazza, it is the centerpiece of an accelerated US growth strategy in the North American market to date. Foti said Tablì is targeting those consumers who want professional quality espresso that they may not be achieving with the current at-home espresso systems.

Tablì is available for pre-order now at TabliCoffee.us in a bundle offer including the Lavazza Tablì Machine, Milk Frother, and Tablì Tab 60-count Variety Collection, and Tab Tweezer for USD $99.99 ($249.99 value). The official US launch follows in August 2026 on LavazzaUSA.com, with availability expanding to Amazon later this year.
