Replacing the old cream finish, the new titanium fascia provides a sleek premium feel, and is intended to better integrate with workplace environments. The previously white lights have now been changed for lights which emit a cool blue glow, further enhancing visual appeal and complimenting the style of many existing electrical products around the office.

In an attempt to boost the intuitive use and user experience of the Flavia coffee machine, the rounded selection buttons have also been replaced with concave versions, to show their purpose more effectively.

There have also been few a slight modifications to the software of the Flavia C400 to make it more simple and easy to use.

The screen saver has been removed, and potentially unfamiliar or unnecessary terms and options have been stripped from the on-screen menu to try and lower the learning curve and reduce the risk of brewing errors. Icons have also been added to some menu items to help users better identify the options they require, and speed up the navigation process.

Perfect for a Quick Caffeine Fix

Seeing a vending machine in the office is not an unusual sight today. People love stopping off at a vending machine for a quick snack, or any of the other things that can be found in a vending machine these days. The answer is unanimous though about what vending machine people find the most popular.

Everyone loves the coffee vending machines. Speciality shops throw a spanner in the works though – they offer speciality coffee that attracts many customers. But….vending machine manufacturers are quick on the uptake. That is why today you get many coffee vending machines that offer speciality coffee of the highest quality and, most impressively, rivalling what the coffee shop can deliver.

Coffee at its best

Coffee vending machines are good business. Businesses are always keen to allow a coffee vending machine onto the premises as they know employees dash off for coffee. People want their regular caffeine fix during the day. It is good for morale if staff don’t have to run out in all types of weather for their needed cuppa, and it saves time to have coffee ‘on tap’.

A coffee vending machine is popular for small business premises as well. Owners of shops know that people will come inside to get a good cup of coffee. This means they are more amenable to spending money in the shop at the same time. Coffee vending machines that stock good quality coffee are popular not only on business premises, but also school staff rooms. Sometimes it seems as if the world runs on coffee and coffee vending machines can be a lucrative business.

If you build up a reputation for quality and reliance you can soon have a good business running. If you show clients that you are a responsible entrepreneur, they may ask for more. How far you go in the vending machine business is up to you.
