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

Product Information

The outer cardboard box is even thoughtful enough to let the very high quality travel case’s handle come through.

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. Add 70ml of boiled water and a dose of up to 24 grams to yield up to a 56 ml shot with beautiful crema.

So, not only do you have to dial in the machine by dose weight and grind fineness, the two typical variables, you also have to consider how voluminous that particular coffee is at a given dose and grind setting, making it far more difficult to dial in by adjusting dose or grind independently since both can effect the volume of the coffee bed, which effects how much the coffee is tamped by the tamper. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Once I'd got over the initial issues with the grind and dosing, I was pulling shots of a very similar level to The Rok, with the same beans. I'll get into comparing grinders later, but anyone who has a grinder that's producing repeatable and tasty espresso shots with another machine should find that adequate to the PRO.

Sprites are finer streams than channels but are a similar phenomenon and can spray coffee outside the coffee cup. I sometimes switch back to the signature brew chamber for creating a small single shot, but the difference in output quality is quite noticeable. Whereas if you have any desire for portability and don’t want to tinker with the machine, the Flair is cheaper and more portable. We recommend using coffee beans roasted within a few weeks of use and grinding immediately before brewing.

The ability to reach higher temperatures with a closed-boiler lever is also a better choice for those who live at high altitudes. You'll like this very capable espresso maker for travel with its relatively light weight, its flat profile when the base is removed, and its attractive, included case for the PRO and its accessories. It is the most sophisticated model we offer, which will prepare you a truly excellent coffee at the level of a professional coffee machine. This review unfolds in successive posts and will provide a brief temperature guideline to get you started on fine-tuning your espresso.
