the most exciting new discovery

May 31, 2007 at 5:51 pm · Filed under life

My most exciting discovery at work has been the Flavia coffee/tea/latte/chai/choco machine. (Yes, the hot cocoa is called choco). I became instantly attracted to its ability to make hot drinks with the touch of a button. The little packets go into the tray and you put your cup underneath and presto! A lovely hot beverage to help you be productive during your day!

Now I have found out that many people have these at their offices and they are pretty common. My brother has one at his office. My friend had one at her old office. I am done thinking it is really special, but I still am semi-obsessed with it. I love it so much that I am thinking of getting my own personal one at the end of the summer for an unmentionable price. Ridiculous, I realize.

My Flavia addiction is so bad that I have to limit myself to going twice a day. At 10:30 a.m. I have an English Breakfast tea and at 3:30 p.m. I have a chai latte or a choco. This is my life now.

    We have a Starbucks machine, but it only makes coffee or cocoa. There are like big hoppers of beans on top, and you push a button or two and it grinds, brews, and spits your coffee into whatever receptacle you place underneath. I have no idea where it gets the cocoa.

    i used to have one at my old office - the really fun ones where when the LED display told you to insert multiple packets - for example: chai tea and weirdo latte creamer to get a chai latte.

    All we have is Maxwell House coffee (in a machine with a button) and Bigelow Tea (old school only). But our break room has a fancy name - it’s called the “Tea Room” and has a special gold sign leading to it. There is also a fire exit near, just in case you were wondering how to safely exit the building.

    We do have all the little single-serve cream containers that you want, though. There’s a whole vegetable bin full of them in the staff fridge. This would be excellent if I still went out to eat with my brother and mom - my brother and I make pyramids or other shapes of the little containers then knock then down with an extra or empty in order to piss off mom. It’s kinda like do it yourself bowling with tiny plastic dairy things.

    I have gotten burned on the multiple packets thing several times. Yesterday I had the “blueberry herbal supplement” for the first time and it was outstanding for an afternoon pick-me-up.
