3.9 (20) Amazon rating$1804.07

Our verdict

At $1,804, the Flavia 18000565 is a commercial-tier drip machine built around proprietary Flavia Freshpack pods, it is designed for office break rooms, not home kitchens. The 3.9 rating across just 20 reviews reflects a narrow, specialized buyer pool, not widespread consumer testing.

Best for

Office managers and small-business operators who want a self-contained, pod-driven coffee station that brews individual servings without a barista. The fully automatic operation with touchscreen controls keeps things simple for multiple users.

Skip if

Skip this if you are shopping for a home coffee maker, the $1,804 price and Flavia Freshpack lock-in make it a poor fit outside a commercial context. Also skip if you need flexibility with coffee brands; you are tied entirely to Flavia's fresh pack ecosystem.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other coffee makers, kettles and brewers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

The Flavia 18000565 is a fully automatic drip machine drawing 1600W at 100V. It accepts Flavia Freshpack pods, the machine will not work with K-Cup or other pod formats. A touchscreen interface keeps operation straightforward for multi-user office environments. The machine is 20 x 12 x 17 inches and has a matte black plastic finish.

Flavia's Freshpack system uses proprietary single-serve packs that brew one cup at a time directly into a cup, no carafe, no warming plate, no batch brewing. The reusable internal filter handles the pod mechanics. Whether the dripper is dishwasher safe is not specified.

With only 20 reviews and a 3.9 rating, there is limited data to draw reliable conclusions about long-term reliability. Zero units bought last month on this listing suggests it is a slow-moving commercial item ordered through procurement channels rather than impulse purchases.

Pros

  • 1600W heats quickly for high-volume single-serve throughput
  • Touchscreen makes it easy for multiple office users
  • Fully automatic, no user skill required per cup
  • Matte black finish is office-appropriate
  • Freshpack format seals freshness at the pack level

Cons

  • At $1,804 it is among the most expensive machines in this category
  • Locked to Flavia Freshpack pods, no grounds or other pod types
  • Only 20 reviews makes reliability assessment difficult
  • 3.9 rating is below average for the price tier
  • Weight and dimensions not fully specified

Performance notes

1600W fully automatic drip machine, 100V. Flavia Freshpack pod compatibility only. Touchscreen controls. Matte plastic body in black. Dimensions: 20 x 12 x 17 in. Weight not listed.

What buyers say

With only 20 reviews, sentiment data is thin. The 3.9 rating suggests tepid satisfaction, buyers in this category are typically commercial operators evaluating cost-per-cup and reliability over convenience, and the limited feedback pool does not paint a clear picture either way.
