Family-owned Italian coffee giant Lavazza just launched 100% coffee espresso tablets in the US that are eco-friendly and contain no coating, binders, or gelatin.
Named Tabli, these compressed coffee tablets are single-serve and work only on a dedicated $99.99 Lavazza machine. Developed over five years and finally launched in Italy in 2025, the tablets come in five varieties: espresso, double espresso, decaf espresso, super crema, and lungo.
The launch comes after Lavazza's North American revenue rose 26.9% last year. The company generated more than $100 million in annual retail sales through major retailers such as Target and Walmart and aims to grow its US business to $1.15 billion in the coming years.
Lavazza faces strong competition in the US coffee market. Keurig controls about 50% of the coffee pod market and reported $3.99 billion in coffee sales in 2025, while Nespresso holds a 7% market share.
Notably, Keurig was fined $1.5 million by the SEC in 2024 over misleading recycling claims related to its coffee pods. It is launching its own plastic-free K-Rounds this fall.
