Dubai: On the occasion of International Coffee Day, Italian coffee powerhouse Lavazza celebrated its 130th anniversary, marking over a century of craftsmanship, innovation, and passion for coffee.
Founded in 1895 as a small grocery store in Turin, Lavazza has grown into a global leader, recognized for its expertise in blending and commitment to quality. The company’s milestone celebration pays tribute to decades of innovation that have shaped the coffee industry — from mastering bean origins to advancing coffee technology.
“Lavazza’s 130-year journey reflects our dedication to quality and innovation while preserving our Italian heritage,” the company said in a statement. “Each cup tells a story of passion, perfection, and connection.”
Growing Presence in Saudi Arabia
As part of its global expansion, Lavazza is strengthening its footprint in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with two Coffee Design Stores — a flagship outlet in Laysen Valley and a newly opened location at Solitaire Mall.
Blending Italian design with Saudi Arabia’s rich coffee traditions, the stores aim to create immersive experiences for consumers who increasingly value quality and innovation.
Coffee holds deep cultural importance in the Kingdom, symbolising hospitality and togetherness — values that mirror Lavazza’s own philosophy.
Global Campaign: “Coffee Maestro”
Coinciding with the anniversary celebrations, Lavazza launched its latest global campaign, “Coffee Maestro”, a follow-up to its acclaimed 2024 campaign, Pleasure Makes Us Human.
The new advertisement, set in a sleek co-working space, features Hollywood stars John Krasinski and Steve Carell, along with Luigi, the brand’s beloved robot character. The light-hearted storyline revolves around a humorous mix-up between a “coffee maestro” and a “musical maestro,” capturing the brand’s playful tone and deep-rooted Italian flair.
Timed with International Coffee Day, the Coffee Maestro campaign reinforces Lavazza’s position as a champion of coffee culture worldwide. The teaser was released globally on October 1 across Lavazza’s social media platforms, while the full campaign can be viewed at www.lavazza.com.
A Legacy of Excellence
Over its 130-year history, Lavazza has continued to redefine coffee craftsmanship, blending heritage with innovation. As the company looks toward the future, it remains dedicated to enriching coffee experiences and celebrating the artistry behind every cup.
