In this latest article of our 'Coffee in the Office' series
we take a look at the Flavia filter-pack drinks machine.
The Flavia range of drinks machines work in an unusual and
ingenious manner to serve a wide variety of top quality
delicious drinks to the end user. After the drink choice
has been made the appropriate drink foil pack is inserted
into the machine, a cup is placed underneath and a button
is pressed. Hot water is then forced into the foil pack to
release the full flavour of the drink as it is dispensed
into the cup.
Each drink is individually made and there is no cross
contamination of flavours between different drink types.
The machine has very low maintenance and can be plumbed in
or just topped up with fresh water as required. Since no
cup is dispensed the user has the choice to use their own
cup or use branded Flavia waxed paper cups that can be
provided by your supplier together with sugar sticks,
stirrers, cup holders etc if required.
The Flavia machine is best used in a supervised environment
as the ingredients are selected from a display case and
there is no security. It is also best used in a low volume
office type environment where drink choice and quality is
paramount rather than serving a large number of people.
The main advantage of this type of machine is the sheer
quality of the drinks produced and the amazing choice of
drinks available. A huge number of fresh ground coffees are
offered of different types of coffee beans and roasts,
fresh leaf teas, speciality drinks, speciality teas,
chocolates and even fruit infusions and green teas. Note
however that the drinks are usually sold from the supplier
in cases of 80 so in reality most offices will want to
limit the range of drinks offered although they can of
course order different products each time they order.
Although the cost of the machine is relatively low when
compared to other types of drinks dispensing machine
(allowing the possibility of multiple machine sites) the
individual drink cost is quite high and can prove
prohibitive.
The Flavia option is not the solution for high volume
sites, sites requiring security of ingredients nor for
those requiring a coin controlled system.
However in the right environment the Flavia drinks system
can be the perfect high quality solution for satisfying
discerning drinkers at all times of the day.
