Italian coffee giant Lavazza launches single-serve tablets to make espresso in the U.S.
... Lavazza will officially launch Tablì in the U.S. in August. A $99.99 bundle that includes the machine, a 60-count variety pack of tabs and a milk frother is available now to pre-order on the company’s website. ...
There was no "pre-order" tab on the U.S. website.
The question is, Will the coffee from a tablet be any good?
And, Do you want to be hostage to the company for future supply?
Personally, I prefer Kimbo to Lavazza, but I will drink Lavazza.
My advice is to buy a moka pot and a grinder instead, and buy the beans or ground coffee of your choosing.
You will have the coffee you want when you want it, and if you never put the moka pot in the dishwasher it will last you a lifetime.
I have used several different sizes in both aluminum and stainless steel since the 1990s and have never gone back to percolators, pour-overs, French presses, drip machines, steam or pump espresso makers, et cetera. And I keep several different brands and styles of coffee going all the time.
Plus, the moka pots will work over a flame in a power outage, take up no counter space, and can travel with you at leisure or in an emergency.
And the look is . . . iconic.
