New Look Flavia Creation 400

As of the 20^th September 2010, the Flavia Creation 400 hot drinks machine will sport a fresh new titanium look.

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.

Finally, a ‘Cappuccino / Espresso’ option has been added to the main menu to reduce confusion and highlight the frothy cappuccino and the improved espresso with smooth crema.

Flavia Drinks – Latte Creamer Discontinued

Flavia / Mars Drinks have announced the immediate discontinuation of the ancillary: Latte Creamer, in favour of the recent addition: Cappuccino/Latte Swirl.

Flavia have said that since the Flavia SB100 drinks machine was delisted in 2009, there has been a significant decline in demand for Latte Creamer, and is therefore no longer economically viable.

Cappuccino/Latte Swirl – the recommended replacement – was launched with the introduction of the Flavia S350 and Flavia Creation 400 drinks machines, to create a more authentic cappuccino experience.

Hot Drinks Vending Machines

Hot beverages always have been and always will be, extremely popular. Both in the work place and in public areas, a nice hot drink can be comforting, relaxing or even stimulating. Hot beverage vending machines are ideal for a variety of situations, as they can be self service and provide a convenient product at a competitive price.

With the popular trend changing more to fancy coffees, and since the increase in coffee shop chains around towns and city centres, it is important that hot beverage vending machines offer up to date products to cater for consumer needs and requirements.

Today’s hot drinks machines dispense drinks of a much higher quality than they used too, and they are no longer subject to the bad reputation they once were. Hot beverage machines such as the ones from Flavia are able to provide extremely fresh drinks every time; thanks in part to the individually sealed drink sachets which keep flavours and aromas locked inside until use.
