About Tabli Coffee Machine
Tabli is a new Lavazza system and represents a revolution in the world of single serve coffee. While capsule machines are extremely convenient and offer a great taste experience with guaranteed consistent quality, they also have a significant environmental impact. For this reason, Lavazza developed a completely capsule free system. A coffee tab without capsule. No aluminium. No plastic. No coating. Just ground coffee.

- Tabli is a completely new system and required a lot of technical development on multiple levels.
- Research
- Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.
- Inspiration
- Tabli is a blend of research and design, unleashing aroma, colour, and flavour of coffee for a complete sensory experience. The machine is composed of several different volumes. A solid main body and a big external water tank. The slider, vaguely resembling a coffee bean, also integrates the UI. Designed with love, many aspects came together to create a new, innovative and sustainable system. All elements, the name, packaging, machine, and accessories, form a coherent whole.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete process to develop this new system from initial concept to final product took about five years.
- Operation Flow
- To prepare a coffee, a tab is inserted into the machine, which was specifically designed by Lavazzas own in-house design team. The design and user experience of the appliance appropriately express the novelty that this system represents on the market. The slider with integrated UI is a new and innovative solution. A fluid and simple gesture reveals the insertion area. Once closed, the preparation is selected, and the machine does the rest. The pleasure of a perfectly prepared coffee remains.
