DIGG IT! I love good coffee and I have been working near a Flavia machine lately. In an attempt to get the most out of the Flavia machine, I began experimenting to get that ideal cup of coffee. Here is my attempt at hacking Flavia to get the best cup:
"Single Double"
1. Obtain 2 Packets of "House Blend" and 1 coffee cup.
2. Press "Other" on the Flavia main menu.
3. Press "Expresso Shot"
4. Load 1 Packet of "House Blend" and brew
5. Press "Other" on the Flavia main menu.
6. Press "Expresso Shot"
7. Load 1 Packet of "House Blend" and brew
Optional:(If your into this sort of stuff!)
8. Cream
9. Sugar/Substitute
Basically in using the "Expresso Shot" setting, it steams the packet first, before pushing hot water through the packet. Given the interface to each Flavia packet is identical, you can mix and match packets as needed. "Expresso Shot" setting also uses half the water of a regular cup of coffee so you can fit 2 packets into a single cup for a much stronger results.
Enjoy Hacking Flavia!
Cheers,
Ted :)
Ted your genius is wasted in the coffee industry, you should try ActionScript or Python instead ;)
We are now perfecting the art of making one teabag stretch to two mugs. Almost cracked it!
The flavia seems to hate improv. So tragic. Also, a cocochino is NOT what I thought it would be-- no coffee beans are harmed in the making of it.
I spend my days hacking my local Flavia and I couldn't believe that anyone else tried this stuff.
For a nice chocolately goodness drink.. 2 choco packets on "Expresso Shot" followed by a standard "Chocochino" 3 non dairy vanilla creamers and two sugar packets... enjoy.
What if you have to pay for the drinks? Any one found a pressing combination of the bouttons for free drinks?
Agreed. I would like a combo button mash to get free drinks. I know if you hold the bottom two buttons it takes you into a root menu. Then you can reprogram by pressing 1, 2, 1, 1. Hope this helps you get started.
Can't you just cut the packet open and add it to hot water for a free drink?
