When you bring a new coffee system into your kitchen, the machine and the tabs are only part of the whole picture. What you serve your coffee in, how you store your tabs between uses, and the small rituals around each cup all shape how the experience feels day to day. The Tablì accessories range is built around those moments: the feel of the cup in your hand, the assurance that your tabs are stored properly, and the small lift of having everything in its place.
Cup size and shape affect how a coffee tastes and how it feels to drink. Espresso served in a full-sized mug loses heat quickly and the proportions feel off. A well-sized cup keeps the temperature consistent and focuses the aromas. The same applies to lungo: a wider, taller cup allows the brew to breathe differently than a smaller espresso cup would. It is worth thinking about which format you drink most often before choosing which cups to add to your setup.
Coffee tabs are sensitive to air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Where and how you keep them between uses affects what ends up in your cup. A purpose-built storage solution removes the guesswork: your tabs are kept in the right conditions, ready for your next brew.
Small details in how you interact with your tabs and your machine can make the routine feel more considered. A dedicated tool for handling tabs keeps things clean and precise, which matters if you tend to prepare coffee for guests or simply like your kitchen to feel orderly.
The Espresso Cups Tablì (Set of Two) are made from porcelain with a textured finish that references the tactile quality of the Tablì tab format itself. Each cup is produced in Italy, sized correctly for a single espresso, and dishwasher safe for easy maintenance. The Tablì Tongs offer a clean, precise way to handle tabs, keeping fingerprints off the surface and the routine feeling deliberate rather than rushed.
For those who prefer longer, or milk-based coffee
Scaled up for a longer brew or a flat white, the Coffee Mug Tablì carries the same textured porcelain construction as the espresso cups. The Lungo Cups Tablì (Set of Two) are designed specifically for lungo-format coffee, giving the right proportions for a drink that needs a bit more space. Both options are consistent with the visual language of the system, so your table or kitchen counter holds together as a set rather than a collection of mismatched pieces.
The Tab Holder Tablì is designed to help preserve the aroma of your coffee tabs for up to 45 days when kept in the fridge. It uses a modular stacking system with two colour-coded drawers, each holding two tab trays of six tabs. The compact footprint at 210x170x70mm means it sits neatly on a standard shelf, and the format makes it easy to keep different varieties separate and clearly identified.
Are the Tablì cups dishwasher safe?
Yes. Both the Espresso Cups Tablì and the Lungo Cups Tablì are made from porcelain and are confirmed as dishwasher safe. The same applies to the Coffee Mug Tablì. Hand-washing is always an option if you prefer it, but all three are built to withstand regular dishwasher cycles.
How does the Tab Holder help keep tabs fresh?
The Tab Holder Tablì is designed to help preserve the aroma of Tablì coffee tabs for up to 45 days when stored in the fridge. Its sealed drawer system is intended to limit exposure to air and humidity, which are the main factors that affect freshness over time. Each drawer holds two tab trays, with six tabs per tray.
Do the cups and accessories need to match the machine colour?
The Tablì cups and accessories are designed as part of the broader Tablì system and share a consistent visual language, including the textured porcelain finish that references the tab format. They are not colour-matched to specific machine variants, so they work with the Tablì machine regardless of which colour you have.
What is the Tab Tweezer used for?
The Tablì Tongs are designed for handling Tablì coffee tabs cleanly and precisely. They keep fingerprints off the tab surface and give you a clean, controlled way to place each tab into the machine, which some users find preferable to handling them directly, especially when preparing coffee for guests.
Can the Tab Holder be used outside the fridge?
The Tab Holder Tablì is specifically designed for fridge storage, which is where it is most effective at helping preserve tab freshness. Using it at room temperature is possible, but the 45-day freshness guidance is based on refrigerator conditions. For best results, fridge storage is recommended.
Are the Tablì cups and accessories compatible with other Lavazza machines?
The Tablì cups and accessories are designed as part of the Tablì system. Cups can of course be used for any coffee, but the Tab Holder Tablì is sized and designed specifically for Tablì coffee tabs, which are unique to the Tablì machine and are not compatible with other Lavazza formats.
Are Tablì accessories compatible with Nespresso machines or pods?
No. Tablì accessories, particularly the Tab Holder Tablì, are designed exclusively for use with Tablì coffee tabs and the Tablì system. Tablì tabs are not compatible with Nespresso or any other third-party coffee system.
