Flavia Coffee Machines versus Keurig B3000

The makers of the Keurig coffee machines have just come out with their latest model, the "keurig b3000 coffee maker." With the new features it offers such as 3 language selections, 4 different brewing sizes, and automatic ejection of the k-cups, it is a great choice for any office.

When you compare the Keurig B3000 Coffee Maker to another single cup coffee maker designed for the office such as the Flavia Creation 400, the Keurig B3000 will always come out on top. Although they have some very similar features, like a digital user interface, and step by step brewing instructions, the B3000 is the better choice for convenience and durability. They can both be plumbed, but the Keurig B3000 Coffee Maker has a direct water line for back to back brewing. It also has a separate hot water line so you have instant access to hot water. Just the touch of a button gives you hot water for cocoa or soup!

It's new features are really what makes it stand out. With unlimited back to back brewing every 60 seconds you won't have to wait long for your next cup of coffee. And if you are the one whose office is close to the break room, the new quiet brewing feature will really make a difference.

In the end what it really comes down to is the cup of coffee you are getting. Keurig offers a wide variety of flavors from several different companies that are widely available. With a Flavia machine you are limited to their coffee, with its' limited varieties, and it is only available online. If you run out of coffee you can't just run out to the store to pick some up, you are just out of luck until your delivery comes. They also only offer free shipping if you spend over $100. This may work in some offices, but not every company has that kind of a budget for coffee.

With a greater variety of high end coffees like Green Mountain and Gloria Jeans, and Timothy's you are much more likely to get the taste and experience you are looking for. The last thing you want is to be disappointed in your morning coffee, it could set the tone for your day! - Steven P Franklin

Flavia Coffee Machines

Often times, when people buy coffee machines/makers, they base their decision upon how the machine itself looks. These days a one cup coffee maker is as much a fashion statement as it is a useful utility. When it comes to the Flavia fusion drinks station, you won't be disappointed. The machine is well designed and is very simple to use. The controls are divided into 3 categories: Coffee drinks, other drinks and two pack drinks that would need a couple of different filter packs which is quite similar to a milk and espresso pack that's used to make cappuccino. As for brewing coffee, the most curious thing about the Flavia fusion is the fact that the brewing happens within the filter pack. Because of this, there won't be no cleaning required or having to mix tea and coffee for taste. The filter would basically slide into place; the hot water would then pass through the filter pack and eventually finishes with hot air to dry the thing out.

As for the coffee blends, they are all very good. Depending on your preference, you might enjoy the darker roasts such as Sumatra. The flavored coffees are also pretty good but some had a fake taste to them that many coffee drinkers might dislike. They can also be quite sweet which might not be everyone's type of coffee. But they are all, nonetheless, very drinkable. The espresso made using the Flavia coffee maker is also nice but there are better ones. But is something that would still satisfy your palette if you like espresso.

You can also make other drinks using the Flavia fusion and some of these drinks include Leaf teas and other well being ones which are basically berry and green tea based drinks. The more enjoyable ones would be the Lemon Calm teas and the Blueberry balance. But again, this would differ according to every person's taste. The Flavia coffee machines also allow you to make Chai Tea, Hot Chocolate and a Milky Way swirl which is essentially a hot chocolate and creamy caramel drink. Since they are made by the Mars corporation, you can imagine how many delicious chocolaty flavors they offer. Needless to say, if you want a one cup coffee maker that is versatile and reasonably priced then the Flavia fusion drinks station is definitely for you- Stephen Di
