Lavazza introduces Kastus antimicrobial surface protectors for Flavia brewers

September 24, 2020

Lavazza Professional, part of the Lavazza Group and consisting of the Flavia single-serve brewing systems and Klix vending systems — has partnered with Kastus to offer an antimicrobial surface protector for the Flavia Creation 600, according to a press release. The surface protector is available for both the touchscreen and the brewer door and is just one of the ways the C600 provides enhanced peace of mind for office managers.

The patented technology developed by Kastus, a surface innovation company based in Ireland, is an ultra-thin, invisible, non-leaching coating that is easy to clean, activated by visible light, and designed to work for two years.

"Antimicrobial surface coatings are critical in this moment, to help give consumers an enhanced level of protection when using shared touchscreens," John Browne, founder and CEO of Kastus, said in the press release. "The Kastus patented 24/7 antimicrobial coating technology that powers our screen protector products offers enhanced, 'always-on' screen protection and gives consumers the added confidence to interact with shared screen displays."

Lavazza Professional's Flavia brewing systems offer two ways for hygienic brewing — brewing directly from a mobile phone with the Flavia Tap N' Brew app or utilizing the touchscreen with the Kastus screen protector.

"We are excited to launch this partnership and offer Kastus' game-changing technology to our C600 customers," said Bruce Williamson, vice president of innovation and marketing at Lavazza Professional.
