About Tabli Kavni aparat

Tabli je nov sistem podjetja Lavazza in predstavlja revolucijo v svetu enoporcijske kave. Čeprav so kapsulni aparati izjemno priročni in ponujajo odlično okusno izkušnjo z zagotovljeno stalno kakovostjo, imajo tudi znaten vpliv na okolje. Zato je Lavazza razvila povsem brezkapsulni sistem. Ni aluminija, ni plastike in ni prevleke – le 100 % mleta kava.

To address this challenge, Lavazza has introduced an entirely capsule free system. The tabs are the innovative shape in which the ground coffee is presented. The appliance continues the commitment to sustainability. Repairable and made in Europe, with a high percentage of post consumer recycled plastic and low energy consumption.

Design Challenge: 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.
