The Lavazza Grand Hotel filter blend is our best-selling product in this sector and coupled with aggressive pricing, it is very well received.

Any upcoming product launches or expansion plans that you can reveal?

We have launched several new products this year. These include the Prontissimo, Tierra Rainforest Certified Blend and Tierra Capsules as well as new equipment from Necta with the Krono, Kalea and Karisma machines. In addition, we have introduced new machines from Wega with Myconcept and Lavazza branded IO and Polaris espresso machines. There is more to come on the equipment front: the Fracino Romano, a custom machine made in copper and chrome steel. This is due be available to our clients in September 2017. The new LB2600 from Lavazza will also be launched before the end of the year.
