Flair Espresso Maker PRO 2 (Black) - An all manual lever espresso maker with stainless steel brew head and pressure gauge

Product Information

When I ignored the instructions in this regard and dosed with 14g, I seemed to get the best results, at a more coarse setting than I'd usually use with the La Pavoni Euripicolla and The Rok. In my experience I did found it a little harder to dial in the 15 gram pucks, but I'll definitely keep brewing my favorite old 15g dose shots as well. Your espresso’s taste and crema is most dependent on the quality and freshness of your coffee beans and finding the right grind size . If you really want to duplicate a shot of espresso that you get from a high-quality espresso maker, the Flair will get you there. It has a piston that travels down a cylinder containing hot water that's forced under pressure through coffee grounds below.

Using analytics tools allows us to better understand the needs of our visitors and how they use our site. With the Flair Espresso Maker, you have a complete manual espresso machine that can produce professional quality shots of espresso from your home, or wherever you are. At this time I'm using three different coffee beans - two of them are medium to dark roast level and one is medium to light roast level. Intact Idea shall not be responsible for any damages or personal injuries, whether incidental or consequential, or claims for such damages based on any legal theory, which may occur while using this product.Like any traditional manual lever, the Flair Signature PRO requires fresh ground coffee with appropriate fineness, particle size and dose. This was measured only by taste and produced a shot that was mild and sweet and hasn't extracted the bitter roast flavors.

As the lever travels downward, the angle is steeper, but pressure is reduced, so I may shift from two hands to one, and then change hands again near the end to grip the lever higher and keep the pull going steadily. With water just off the boil poured into a room temperature brew group (about 74°F/23°C), the brew group is sufficiently heated that temperature decline is gradual. Flairpresso refuses the screen itself, which could be pressed out and in very simple, and coud be sent in a small letter, slipping unnoticed through any custom.

MAJOR BREWING UPGRADES – The Flair PRO 2 features three upgrades over Flair’s other manual espresso makers including a removable stainless steel spout, an enhanced all-stainless steel bottomless portafilter with improved flow dynamics, and a silicone lever grip for better brewing ergonomics. The PRO's portafilter is held onto the cylinder by an o-ring in the cylinder (it's best not to lubricate that o-ring for a stronger grip). The user experience thread shows some awkwardness with the flat shower screen, which is entirely flat, lacking a center grip to place it over the coffee cake.
