If you’re a coffee lover like me, I’m sure you’ll want to make a stop at the Lavazza Pop-Up Coffee Experience happening now at Centre Court, Level Concourse, Suria KLCC. Happening from 15–21 July 2025, this collaboration between Lavazza and aura+ brings a refreshing blend of Italian coffee heritage and sleek lifestyle technology right to the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
I had the pleasure of attending the launch event, and it was a vibrant morning filled with aromatic brews, warm conversations, and sleek machines. The event was graced by key industry names including Lavazza’s Asia principal team, representatives from Suria KLCC, the Embassy of Italy, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce. Also in attendance were media friends and partners from the coffee and retail industry.
The star of the event? The official debut of the aura+ Java One Espresso Machine – a sleek, compact unit that’s compatible with Nespresso® capsules – and Lavazza’s bold new Crema e Gusto Forte capsules. This marks the first time the Java One is available in Malaysia, and I must say, it’s a stylish addition to any modern kitchen.
Guests were treated to an Italian-style coffee tasting, with baristas preparing espressos and “Coffeetails” – think mocktails but with a coffee twist. The Crema e Gusto Forte was smooth, rich, and bold, definitely a hit for those who enjoy a stronger cup.
One of the best parts? The Starter Kit offer. For RM599, you get the aura+ Java One Espresso Machine and 8 boxes of Lavazza capsules – a deal worth RM891. It’s a great value, especially if you’re keen to elevate your at-home coffee game.
The pop-up isn’t just for shopping. It is a full experience – you can try Lavazza’s coffee varieties, join fun games to win prizes, and even get free engraving on select items. There’s a colourful photo wall perfect for Instagram shots, and purchases above RM60 unlock chances to Spin the Wheel or even join the Lavazza Gacha draw.
Whether you’re a serious espresso aficionado or someone who just appreciates a good cup of coffee, this pop-up is worth checking out. I left with a smile, a cup of coffee in hand, and a tote bag filled with goodies. Swing by if you’re around Suria KLCC – you might just walk away with your new favourite coffee machine.
