Short description: Hot beverage system brand

Flavia is a hot beverage system. The system prepares single servings of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate drinks. The brand was owned by Mars Drinks, a division of Mars, Incorporated until October 1, 2018, when Lavazza purchased Mars’s coffee units.[1][2]

Products

FLAVIA claims its patented technology brews drinks in a single-serve "Fresh Pack," which means that the pack is the actual brewing chamber. The drink pours directly from the packet into the cup rather than through a common channel. Used packs are collected in a tray that is emptied periodically when prompted.[3]
