The combination of innovation and enthusiasm is nothing new for Lavazza. Our Chef Ambassadors often dedicate new dishes and recipes to the businesses we believe in, the ones which we actively support.

Therefore, our most difficult mission cannot go unnoticed: sending coffee into orbit with ISSpresso. The successful experiment had recipes dedicated to it by Pietro Leemann, famous for his high-end vegetarian cuisine; Davide Oldani, a Michelin-starred chef with a passion for using modest raw materials and Dennis Zoppi, the renowned cocktail designer.

‘Solaris’ is Leeman’s creation, an ode to the sun, transforming it from symbol to substance. A refreshing aspic of summer vegetables with tapioca, a carrot and orange sauce and melon sorbet.

In ‘Saturn’, Oldani’s dish, toasted seeds, coffee powder and freeze-dried red fruits enhance the Carnaroli rice cooked until creamy with butter, Grana Padano cheese and vinegar.

And finally, ‘Galattico’, a cocktail served in a floating glass, made with coffee distillate, grass cordial, clarified carrot extract, spirulina foam or quinoa seeds and, finally, coffee vapour.

Three different interpretations, one single objective: a celebration of ‘Coffee in space’.
