system, you can

It all began in 1895, when Luigi
Lavazza began roasting coffee
from his tiny grocery store in Turin.
Driven to create the perfect
espresso, he began experimenting
with different types of coffee and
creating new blends. After more
than a century and four generations
of Lavazzas, that tiny grocery store
has grown into one of the largest
product companies in the world.
But for all their success, Lavazza
is still just as driven to create the
finest coffee blends available. Today
the company continues to excel at
innovation and strive for excellence
in all aspects of their business.

Which is why Lavazza is the symbol
of Italian espresso worldwide and
is known as Italy’s favorite coffee
roaster. Keurig is proud to have
Lavazza as a partner to bring the
best espresso flavors to your kitchen.

Authentic

Originally created as a way to make
coffee more quickly, espresso is not
only popular in its own right, but
also provides the base for some
of your favorite beverages, such
as a cappuccino, latte and more.
Espresso is made by forcing hot
water through a finely ground blend
of coffee. With its strong, slightly
sweet, full-bodied flavor, espresso is
now easy to make at home, thanks
to Keurig and Lavazza.

Fresh

What makes the perfect frothy topping for a
cappuccino, latte or other espresso beverage?

®

That’s easy – fresh cold milk. The Rivo
lets you choose any type of fresh milk – from
whole milk to skim and even non-dairy options.
Whatever you choose, the Rivo
