Forget pods, the Lavazza Tabli uses 100% coffee tablets — and beats Nespresso hands-down for flavor
The Tabli system is just as convenient as coffee capsules, but without the waste.
The Lavazza Tabli system offers a simpler and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional coffee capsule methods. Unlike pods, which generate waste and require specialized recycling, the Tabli uses coffee tablets made solely from freshly ground coffee — eliminating both waste and mess. At $139.99 (or £199 in the UK), the machine is also one of the most affordable single-serve espresso machines available.
Its simple interface and removal of loose coffee grounds make it accessible for those who want an easy brewing experience. While it lacks a steam wand needed for milk frothing, users can purchase a separate appliance for that purpose. With a box of coffee tabs costing about 49p each, it's also more cost-effective than some other capsule options.
The quality of the espresso made with Lavazza Tabli tabs has been consistently praised for being smooth and easy-drinking, without any astringent aftertaste. As Lavazza continues to expand its range of tabs, this could become a popular choice for those seeking a hassle-free coffee brewing solution.
