Flavia Coffee/Tea Station Review

Coffee and Tea Brewer

Flavia coffee/tea stations are becoming the next big thing in offices all over the United States. With over 30 fresh gourmet coffee and tea choices, Flavia coffee stations are now the coffee makers of choice for most employees raised on trendy coffee shops and their variety of coffee mixology choices.

At my office, we have the large office coffee station called the Creation 400. When the Flavia coffee/tea station was first installed, there was a slight resistance to the machine and its abundance of coffee choices. How could we give up Starbuck's House Blend fresh brewed pot of coffee for a "drink machine"? But once the employees tried a frothy mug of cappuccino they were hooked. The convenience and easy clean-up makes me happy. The variety of choices and mixes make the employees happy. Although Flavia has over 30 different flavors to choose from, we chose the most popular ones to carry at our office and came up with the following list:
.
COFFEE

House Blend, French Roast, Espresso, House Blend Decaf, French Roast Decaf, French Vanilla, Breakfast Blend and Hazelnut.

TEA

Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Lemon Calm, Japanese Green Tea, Green Tea with Jasmine, White Tea & Orange, Exotic Chai and Raspberry Spark.

OTHER

Hot Chocolate, Milky Way Swirl and Creamy Topping.

On top of the regular brewed coffees and teas, the Flavia machine can make an espresso shot, cappuccino, mochaccino, chococcino, chai latte, café latte and will brew coffee or tea over ice. The employees do not mind that it might take up to 30-seconds to brew a cup of coffee or tea, it gives them a breather from the daily grind of work and the Flavia coffee station has become the social spot of the office. The new trend in the office is to come up with new drink concoctions by mixing the different flavors together. If you are like me and creativity is not part of your genetic make-up, then you can go online to Flavia's website to find user submitted drink recipes.

The Flavia coffee/tea station is not for the office only. You can purchase the personal sized Flavia coffee system through stores like Bloomingdale's and Macy's. The only rough spot in regards to having a personal machine is that you have to buy the coffee and tea packets online because the normal grocery store does not carry the packets.

The Flavia coffee/tea maker has become a humongous hit at my office. It makes me look like a hero for purchasing the machine. I was not a coffee or tea lover before but I am addicted now.
