Flair UPDATED PRO 3 (Black) - All manual lever espresso maker with a stainless steel brew head, pressure gauge, and a shot mirror

Of the thousands of shots pulled the only bad shots I've made were dialling coffee in or user error. In fact I'm looking at buying a second one for my workshop, which is why I'm here. Pros: Best espresso I've made at home Consistency of result Simplicity and longevity of mechanics Built well with little to go wrong (2 years and zero maintenance required other than a rinse under the tap.) You get to feel the grind/flow through the lever Pressure profiling No descaling or backwashing or maintenance Easily portable (good for home, goes camping, and visits to parents) No annoying vibration pump Less wait time for it to heat up = coffee sooner Cons: The chamber is a big lump of stainless steel so takes a bit of thermal management You have to figure your own process to get the best espresso out of it (but then you'd have to do that with a 3.5k marzocco) My current one is version 1 which had a few minor flaws (the handle dug into your hand a bit at 9 bar on properly ground coffee) but they seem to have been sorted. The base is narrow, which is great for countertop space but when applying lever pressure you have to make sure you don't stray too far off perpendicular Lots of bits to keep track of when assembling, disassembling and storing No milk frothing, obvs Originally I watched James Hoffman's independent YouTube review, that's what convinced me to buy it. Haven't been disappointed. Ultimately, of you're here for something like a nespresso or one of its relatives, this is unlikely to be the machine for you. If you're prepared to put in a little effort and learn a new skill, you'll be rewarded with great coffee.

First off, this makes great coffee, the best I’ve ever made at home. I got the Rok grinder to go with it and they make a good pair. However, I can’t recommend it, as it’s been probably out my most disappointing Amazon purchase ever. Please note I am not a loony(!), I am capable of using and looking after a product like this properly, and I don’t only write negative reviews. First, I had to pay import duty which was not stated on the listing at the time, though I can see that has now been corrected. Second, it failed after about two months - water started leaking through to the top of the brew head. I had never pushed it past the white area on the pressure gauge and there was no sign of any damage to any of the o-rings or components so I contacted the manufacturer and they said the plastic plunger must have ‘developed cracks’. This was through no fault of mine, I’ve babied this thing. They said that as I bought it from a “third party supplier” (i.e. Amazon) they cannot provide warranty support. I.e. if you buy this from anyone other than directly from Flair themselves, they do not feel they have a responsibility to support you as a customer. Finally, spares are not available in the uk so I am now having to import a new plunger at my own expense (plus import duty again), and I have no reason to expect it won’t also break in another two months. Give it a wide berth.

I m green to espresso but danm good machine

La mejor compra para espresso, solo que re debe de gustar el proceso porque es tardado hacer un solo shot

I have been working as a barista for 4years. but this is my first home espresso machine for myself. Flair espresso pro2 goes beyond my expatiation. i use comandante around click 6 -8, dose 18-19g, out 1:2or 1:2.25, it tastes very good, there is crema. if you have steamer of nanofoamer, you can make late art as well! The shape is also cool. the price is expensive but worth it, if you are thinking to purchase this! バリスタ として4年働いていますが、家庭用のエスプレッソマシンは初めてで、ワクワクしながら購入しました。予想を遥かに上回るクオリティで感動しました。 コマンダンテで６〜８クリックで引いてあげるとちょうどいい気がします。 価格は確かに高いですが、数十万円するエスプレッソマシンにも引けを取らないと思います。 迷ってるようでしたら、マストバイの一品です！

Zunächst...wer braucht beim Camping einen Espresso ? ..Ich. Meine Mühle ist eine : Eureka specialita (zu Hause) ,weil: eine gute Mühle ist sehr wichtig (sehr feines Kaffepulver) . Wenn man ganz auf Handbetrieb angewiesen ist lohnt sich eine teure Spitzenmühle zum Kurbeln , da bitte nicht sparen ! Und: nehmt KEINEN Kaffee! Kauft einen guten Espresso vom Röster! Das Handling ist nach Gewöhnung super easy. ca 12 gramm Pulver eingefüllt und mit ca10 bar (wird auf dem mitgelieferten Manometer angezeigt) einen wirklich grandiosen Espresso gepresst. Crema, Farbe, Durchlaufzeit ...alles wie im Bilderbuch. Vorwärmen des Brühkopfes mit heissem Wasser ist sehr wichtig. ABER : man muss ganz schön kräftig drücken ! Das Ding muss auf festem Boden stehen. Reinigung ist etwas mehr Fummelkram als beim grossen Siebträgergerät aber akzeptabel, da das Gerät nur aus wenigen Einzelteilen besteht. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr solide , aus Edelstahl! Mit Plastik kommt der Kaffee nicht in Berührung ! Nach meinen jahrelangen Handpresso Erfahrungen ist dieses Gerät zwar teuer aber ein echter Hit. Auch und gerade im outdoor Betrieb. Die Flair wird im robusten hardcase Koffer geliefert, kann aber auch easy in wenige Einzelteile zerlegt im Rucksack verpackt werden. Der Fuss ist zerlegbar mit einer Schraube. Macht aber auch in der Küche als "standalone" was her. Ich habe schon viele mobile Espressogeräte ausprobiert , dieses funktioniert .
