Damn the Flavia Machine

I'm absolutely addicted to the Flavia machine here. $0.50 a cup, but a cup is like 6 oz. It's Yum.

UPDATE: Note to self: Cafeteria closes at 1:30. You will not eat a late lunch, unless Dorito's and Ramen out of a machine count.

Hey, our Flavia machine is FREE! Take that! I loooove the mochaccino. The tea sucks, though. When we first got that thing, I was drinking about 8 cups of coffee a day.

Wow, I’m dumb. I’ve actually never heard of it. I wonder if it’s a nationwide thing, or one of those things that stays out of the midwest…

we had one at my University IT job… it lasted about 2 weeks, because the whole department was drinking like 10 cups a day… that’s costs a LOT.

Yeah, we had bottled drinks (Orange juice! in GLASS bottles!! and Dasani water!!) here for about a month before they caught on that 1/2 the employees were keeping their home fridges stocked by carrying home heavy bags at night…clink, clink, clink…

p.s. “remember info” does not seem to be remembering info…

We’ve had flavia forever.. 2 years or so. it is terrible. It was a novelty at first, but now it is too obvious just how bad tasting the coffee is.. it tastes dirty, has sediment in the bottom, and motivates most people to buy $2/cup outside coffee rather than use it (for free).

I have had the Flavia for about 6 months, and I have found it to be the best I have ever had. And many of my friends have gotten one also.
