    Lavazza has no parent company… it is apparently still owned by the family. that’s a partnership which is described in the link… seemingly via one of their subsidiary.

    Here’s the group structure from their yearly report;

    What’s wrong with that?

      I was wrong, Lavazza isn’t owned by Dr pepper but has a partnership. In the Dutch article it says Dr pepper already has other coffee brands including Lavazza. I assumed ownership, as that’s the usual meaning of wording it that way in Dutch (I’m Dutch myself).

        Np, I got the opportunity to actually verify the whole info… but Italians keeps me for coffee :) I’ll keep the Dutch for my fishing equipment though.

          Example of the difference between Italians and the Dutch when it comes to coffee:

          Schiphol airport: a “coffee” is 7,90, is basically water with a slight coffee taste. Not regular Dutch coffee (like americano) but more like tea.

          Milan airport: 2,90 for a double espresso, actually really properly made espresso from high quality beans.

          No one beats the Italians when it comes to coffee. At Schiphol airport they’re not even trying (who cares, no one is a returning customer anyway, fuck them, let’s cheap out on freaking coffee, something which barily costs anything to make)
