Product Description

The Flair Espresso Maker provides an elegant way to handcraft your own espresso from home, or wherever you may find yourself. At Flair, we asked the question, "What is the minimum needed to brew a professional-level shot of espresso?" Years of experience led us to design a simple lever press that produces delicious espresso, topped with thick crema, without any pods or electricity.

Brewing espresso with the Flair is an art form, and not a push-button solution. This product is targeted to those interested in taking the time to fully enjoy the process of handcrafting their favorite drink. Before purchasing, please know that to produce real espresso, you'll need to have access to freshly ground coffee beans and a burr grinder.

Flair Classic Espresso Machine Portable Carrying Case

Every Flair comes standard with our custom fitted travel case to ensure safe transport either to a friend's, to work, or across the globe. The Flair breaks down into three major components: the base, the post and the brewing head. Together with the funnel and measuring cup you have everything you need for espresso anywhere.

I love this. I know before buying this that it will ba a little hassle to prepare an espresso or cappucchino using this device. Using Time more C3 to grind. 8 clicks (or 9 for some beans).

I can be a real nitpicker but this thing is bereft of nits to pick. The only way I would like it more is if it were made in the USA as I'm kind of a stickler for American manufacturing...but of course, if it were made in the USA, it'd probably cost $450. Be that as it may, this thing is of Chinese manufacture but it does not portray the typical corner-cutting that has given Chinese manufacturing its reputation; this is exquisitely designed, engineered, and manufactured. Not a ton of products on the market that are simultaneously this beautiful and so functional.As far as performance goes, some users complain that they're not getting crema or that what crema they do get is very weak and dissipates readily. You may experience the same thing but if you're at least in the ballpark of the two most critical parameters, it will work. The instructions detail these critical parameters as fresh-roasted coffee (less than 2weeks since roasting) and the use of a proper, finely-adjustable conical burr grinder... if you think that Starbucks is great coffee and you're cool with using a blade grinder or its equally effective alternative, a hammer, to grind your beans, you probably shouldn't bother with the Flair - it employs the same principle as methods within my field of analytical chemistry - [garbage in = garbage out]. I have a bit of an advantage in this arena as I do not suffer from old beans, I built my own computer programmable coffee roaster and I only roast enough beans for about 10 days. I use a Hario Skerton hand-crank grinder which is not ideal for the Flair as you're limited on grind adjustability, but it most definitely gets me a phenomenal shot of espresso...I got respectable crema on shot number one. Be that as it may...I'm considering some higher-quality hand-crank grinders at the moment in order to allow more variability and experimentation.As far as presentation - this unit blew me away - the carrying case and instructional pamphlet are both exquisite and far, far exceeded my best expectations; the brilliant packability of the Flair means it'll be a piece of cake to take with me on motorcycle road trips. Overall, it's abundantly obvious that a great deal of care went into every single step in the development and manufacture of the Flair.Simply-put, I don't think there is any way you will get a device capable of pulling perfect espresso at this price point (especially one as beautiful, well-made, easily cleanable, and portable) except the Flair; do your own research as I did, watch a bunch of YouTube reviews on other options you may be considering such as Nanopresso or ROK; definitely watch comparative videos of ROK vs. Flair...it's no competition...I almost bought a ROK...glad I didn't.- On a side note...The Flair Espresso Maker does come with an effective tamper for the portafilter (and they offer a stainless steel one for sale too - Flair uses a smaller-than-conventional portafilter so you cannot use "normal-size" tampers); however, I wanted to add my own... ... flair ... ... to this unit so I turned my own tamper on my lathe at home.

メリタのグラインダー、VARIO-Vを使っているのですが、メッシュの設定に手間取りました。ダイヤル1、2、3では、フィルターを全く湯が通らずレバーが下がりません。ダイヤル4でも思い切り体重を乗せて、やっと少し垂れる程度です。ただし器具が破損する恐れがあるらしいです。ダイヤル5で、やっとある程度の力(それでも新しいせいか重いです)でレバーが下がり、クレマがたっぷりのコーヒーが作れました。ダイヤル6で、海外動画で紹介されているような力加減のように見えます。ただし、この設定ではクレマが「5」より少なくなります。粉の量は15gにしています。淹れるたびに結果が少し違う気がしますので、色々と試しながらということになると思います。なお、湯通しを行いながら淹れているのですが、注意しないと出来上がりのコーヒーの温度が低いです。何か工夫が必要だと思います。

It takes a bit of time to find a perfect combination of grind and tampping pressure, but once you find that sweet spot, it makes an amazing coffee. But by a few extra dispersion screens( The little piece of aluminum with the silicone wrapped around it, that goes over the portafilter), they’re only about three bucks, but they have a life span of about two months if you have two coffees a day.
