Really Nifty Machine!
I won't attempt to compare this machine to the other brands out there, but I CAN attest to the fact that Flavia is darn good coffee.
My office has the great big Flavia machine that automatically disposes of the used packs, and is plumbed for water. Right beside that machine we have a coffee maker that is only brewed with Starbucks. For the past three years, the Flavia machine is ALWAYS more popular. It's just fun to use also.
For anyone considering the middle of the line SB100 machine, keep in mind that it does NOT handle multiple-pack brews. That means no creamy toppings.
This machine comes with the Drinks Medley for $20 extra. I couldn't find the contents of that Medley anywhere, so here it is:
2xHouse Blend
2xHouse Blend (Decaf)
2xColumbia (my personal favorite)
2xSumatra
2xRoasted Safari Nut
2xFrench Vanilla
2xHazelnut (Decaf)
2xEspresso Roast
2xChoco
6xCreamy Topping
2xEnglish Breakfast...
I'M SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS UNIT !!
I almost bought a Tassimo, but glad I read the reviews, which is what caused me to look into this unit instead. I read all it's reviews and couldnt find anyone who had a bad experience with it. ONE NOTE...... the TRAVEL MUG that comes included in the MEADLY PACK DOES FIT. You have to read the instruction manual which most people dont. It specifically says on PAGE 9, and I quote " THE DRIP TRAY CAN ALSO BE REMOVED TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR TRAVEL MUG". Reading ALL of the isntruction booklet is highly recommended.
Anyway, the best part of this machine is that it accepts any size mug or cup by way of it's sliding head adjustment. It slides down covering your container opening, so there is absolutely no splash out as the beverage is dispensed directly into your container.
I love the removable water reservoir, which will holds 32 oz of water...or about (6) 7oz cups of your favorite brew.
You can use or not use the optional water filter. Your choice.
The BEST part of this...
Simply the easiest one-cup coffee maker on the market!
As the only person that drinks coffee in our home, I have used a one-cup coffee maker for over 20 years. I have tried them all, most recently the pod ones, but this one beats them all. It is so simple and quick. All you do is load a packet, hit a button, and voila, coffee that is comparable, if not better than that sold at coffee houses. In addition, the Fusion offers options to just coffee in the way of Tea, Hot Cocoa, and other "wellness" drinks.
The only drawback is that you are limited to puchasing the coffee packs from Flavia as there are no generic options available. None the less, their selection is superb and their prices are reasonable (about 40 cents per cup). I'm hooked.
