“Lavazza is bringing its espresso tablets to the U.S., aiming to loosen Keurig Dr Pepper’s grip on the single-serve coffee category. The Italian coffee giant unveiled Tablì last year and launched the new brewing system first in Italy. The tablets, made of compressed ground coffee without a coating, binder or gelatin, can only be used with a Tablì coffee machine made by Lavazza. Each tablet is marked with the words ‘100% coffee.’ At launch, the tabs will come in five varieties: espresso, double espresso, decaf espresso, super crema and lungo, or a ‘long shot’ espresso brewed with more water. … Lavazza is betting that sustainability is still a top consideration for many coffee drinkers, although Baravalle said that can differ across countries. For years, Keurig’s pods have been dogged by questions about waste, leaving an opening for a competitor with a more environmentally-friendly product.” (06/08/26)
