Flavia is a hot beverage system, released on March 8, 2005. The system prepares single servings of coffee, tea, and hot chocolate drinks. The brand was owned by Mars Drinks, a division of Mars, Incorporated until October 1, 2018, when Lavazza purchased Mars’s coffee units.^[1]

FLAVIA claims its patented technology brews drinks in a single-serve "Fresh Pack," which means that the pack is the actual brewing chamber.^{[citation needed]} The drink pours directly from the packet into the cup rather than through a common channel. Used packs are collected in a tray that is emptied periodically when prompted.^[2]

The Fresh Packs are foil-sealed, protecting the ground coffees and teas from oxygen and moisture. FLAVIA markets several different machines, such as large coin-operated machines and small portable machines designed for home use.^{[citation needed]}
