A Lavazza spokesman told Reuters that "the opening of the new flagship store has nothing to do with Starbucks," adding that it was simply to give outsiders a "unique" Lavazza experience.

Lavazza flagship store also has a lot of new elements, in addition to traditional Italian coffee, including hand-brewed coffee, siphon and cold coffee.

The new Lavazza flagship store also adds SOE and mocha pots for traditional Italian coffee.

Another Italian coffee brand, illy caffe, opened a luxury cafe near Starbucks in May 1717 in a cozy courtyard on Milan's "trendiest" street.

While both Italian coffee brands deny that the moves are in response to an impending global challenger, industry experts suspect it is no coincidence.
