Research Development

Behind every Lavazza blend there is an added value that makes what we offer unique. A value that means research, study, innovation; the addition of passion to our product. The Lavazza Research & Development department is where this passion lives. A group of experts active in three areas: research and selection of raw materials for coffee, machines and systems, materials and packaging.

The department is a true incubator of innovative ideas, so much so that it is equipped with an Internal Patent Office, dedicated to protecting the solutions developed in the three areas of expertise.

ISSpresso

Espresso in space.
The result of a project between Lavazza and Argotec, the Italian engineering company specialising in the design of aerospace systems and a European leader in the preparation of food to be eaten in space, ISSpresso is the coffee machine that brings espresso to space, redefining the boundary between science fiction and reality. This allows astronauts to continue the ritual of authentic Italian espresso, even while in orbit.

Compostable

Each capsule is a resource for the environment.
Lavazza and Novamont have worked together to create a capsule capable of turning into a resource for the environment after use. The new Lavazza compostable capsule feeds the culture of zero waste, where there is no waste because everything becomes an evolving continuum: at the end of its life cycle, the capsule becomes compost, a natural fertiliser for the soil. Compostable capsules can be ordered exclusively on the online Lavazza store.
