It's hard to imagine now, but in the early 1980s, there was no such thing as single-serve coffee as we know it today. No pods, no single-serve options.

​

That all changed in 1982 when we launched the world's first single-serve coffee system, the Filterpack—the predecessor of today’s Freshpack. In 1989, we introduced a new generation of brewers, and the FLAVIA® brand was born.

​

By 2001, over 2 billion Freshpacks had been sold. By 2005, that number had grown to 3 billion. We then focused on making the Freshpack the best way to enjoy the brands consumers already loved, especially in the workplace. We acquired Alterra Coffee and The Bright Tea Company, and around these core brands, we built partnerships with global coffee Lovemarks that endure to this day.

​

At the end of 2018, FLAVIA® became part of Lavazza North America Inc. The FLAVIA® brand now has a renewed and pivotal role in continuing to do what it has always done—focusing on the needs of real people in the real world of work.
