Products
FLAVIA claims its patented technology brews drinks in a single-serve "Fresh Pack," which means that the pack is the actual brewing chamber.[citation needed] 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.[2]
The Fresh Packs are foil-sealed, protecting the ground coffees and teas from oxygen and moisture. FLAVIA markets several different machines, such as large coin-operated machines and small portable machines designed for home use.[citation needed]
