Most Americans brew their coffee by the pot, yet consume it by the cup. This leaves many households and offices with leftover cups of cold coffee. But many coffee drinkers have discovered there is a better way. FLAVIA® Beverage Systems is leading the coffee revolution by enabling consumers to brew one fresh cup of coffee or tea at a time.

The coffee bean was first discovered in 850 A.D. Legend has it that an African sheepherder named Kaldi noticed his sheep became more active after eating red "cherries" from a certain shrub. Kaldi tried a few himself, and found he was more alert. A passing monk scolded Kaldi for "partaking of the devil's fruit," according to the story. But the monks soon discovered the plant could help them stay awake for prayers. In 1607, coffee made its North American debut, and today some 107 million Americans drink an average of 3.3 cups of coffee per day.

America's passion for quality coffee drinks means that one type no longer fits all for today's consumers - they don't want to have to compromise on freshness, choice and convenience when it comes to brewing coffee and other hot beverages. In 1983, Mars, Incorporated took changing coffee needs to heart and pioneered the first "Brew-by-Pack" hot beverage system where individual cups of gourmet coffee, leaf tea, and hot chocolate are brewed fresh and hot through a patented, sealed for freshness, FLAVIA® Filterpack. Today, Americans enjoy fresh coffee by the cup from the FLAVIA® SB100, the world's first small Brew-by-Pack brewer. And the FLAVIA® S350 brewer lets office workers enjoy fresh cups of coffee-shop style cappuccino, mochaccino, chai latte, and more traditional coffees and teas at their convenience.

The FLAVIA® SB100 is the latest in coffee and tea brewing for the home and office, and it makes a great gift for a family member to use in their kitchen or at the office. FLAVIA® SB100 owners can enjoy 25 different coffee, tea and chocolate drinks from just one compact, stylish machine. And the brewer is simple to use and requires virtually no clean up. So a family's diverse tastes are easily accommodated - Dad can have a strong Sumatra blend, mom a decaffeinated brew, while grandma can have her soothing Green Tea with Jasmine. It's like having a coffee shop in your kitchen!

Today, FLAVIA® Beverage Systems sells more than 300 million drinks annually and is found in 100,000 outlets worldwide. The world's leading Brew-by-Pack refreshment system, FLAVIA(R) Beverage Systems is a registered trademark of Mars, Incorporated, known for brands that include M&M'S®, SNICKERS®, UNCLE BEN'S® and MILKY WAY®.
