Lavazza to launch hygienic brewer

July 17, 2020

Lavazza Professional, part of the Lavazza Group and comprising the Flavia single-serve brewing systems and Klix vending systems, is gearing up for a September 2020 launch of the Flavia Creation 600, a brewer designed with hygiene benefits for offices reopening under the parameters of the "new normal" necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The C600 offers two key differentiators: the ability to deliver both hot and cold beverages in one machine and Flavia smart technology, which offers ease of beverage management to streamlined brewer maintenance.

Lavazza Professional ensured the C600 would have touchless brewing options for the end user. This includes the tap and brew app, which gives employees the option to brew beverages from their smartphone without needing to touch the touchscreen. Lavazza Professional will also offer an optional protective film that can be applied to the screen for always-on surface protection. Plus, 24/7 antimicrobial efficacy has been proven by independent labs using ISO global standards. Kastus registration with the U.S. EPA is currently pending.

Features also include:

• No ice needed to make cold drinks, with the addition of Flavia Chill.
• Patented frothing technology that allows users to indulge in specialty drinks by frothing any fresh dairy or non-dairy milk directly in their cup.
• Consumption trends allow office managers to see what's popular with their employees and adjust orders appropriately.
• Automatic service alerts are sent to the beverage distributor for tech support.
• Remote configuration helps minimize in-person appointments and outside traffic into an office. The beverage distributor is able to remotely perform services such as updating firmware, modifying drink menus, and adjusting settings.
• Automatic maintenance requests allow employees to send stocking requests and issue alerts to the office manager from the brewer screen.
• Customizable brewer screen content templates allow for a more personal experience and an added communications channel for keeping employees up to date.
