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.

Our Design Distinguishes UsWe designed the Flair to make the best espresso possible. The result is a strong and beautiful press, made with quality materials like stainless steel and aluminum, that delivers consistent quality without the need for electricity. And as the Flair features the only detachable brewing head on the market, clean-up is simple and fast. |
Custom Travel CaseEvery 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 measuing cup you have everything you need for espresso anywhere. |
The Taste Defines UsMaking espresso is an art form. Espresso made manually with the Flair is a work of art. Consistently regarded by customers as having quality that rivals any other machine, our espresso shots are complex and full of flavor with delicate crema that blooms in your cup as you brew. The Flair is simply, purely, espresso. |

I've owned the Flair (Signature, Black) for just over a week now. When I was first looking for an espresso machine, things quickly got out of budget. Sure, you can find inexpensive machines (at least twice the cost of the Flair), but they offer very little control. Basic setups that included control over temperature were looking in the $600 range for used machines, and for a new machine with a good quality of parts and features you can expect to spend $1,500+. With the Flair, you can get control over the temperature and the pressure very easily, and for a fraction of the price. If you want to make milk drinks with the espresso, you can purchase other products to pair with your Flair in order to achieve that, and still be under the cost of even the lower-priced semi-automatic machines, and overall you'd have more control and better milk steaming capability than those lower-priced semi-automatic machines could offer.
To get control over temperature with the Flair, you simply need a thermometer and a way to heat up some of the parts (mainly the brew cylinder). You can simply preheat by boiling the parts in water, or for metal parts you can use a direct heating method if you like (this is my preferred method because you can get temperatures above the boiling temperature of water, to better maintain higher brewing temperatures). Please note that if you use a direct heat/dry heat method, that you need to be careful not to get the metal parts too hot, because it will flash boil the water when you add it. For best results, heat it slowly and no higher than 250° F. This takes only a couple minutes. Before you insert the piston, you can use a thermometer to check the water temperature, which allows you to control at what temperature you begin brewing.
You have control over pressure through how fine you grind, how hard you tamp, and how hard you press the lever. You are able to change the pressure throughout the press, which can give you different taste results. With the ability to control temperature and pressure, you can easily customize the taste of your espresso to how you like it.
I am brand new to espresso making, so I had to hunt for the right grind size to use (which is typical for any espresso machine). Once you find the grind size that gets you the right amount of pressure; the taste, mouthfeel, and crema production of the shots are very similar to what you will find in coffee shops produced by equipment that costs thousands of dollars. The only requirements you need at home are the Flair, a good quality burr grinder, fresh coffee, water, and a heat source.
Overall it only takes about 5 minutes from setting up the Flair to enjoying your shot of espresso, and that's at a relaxed pace. Cleaning up is also quick and simple.
The quality of the parts are good. The only thing is that if you are not careful, you can damage the plastic parts. I have somehow managed to gouge the plastic on my portafilter. Luckily all the individual parts are available from the company, and I can replace that portafilter if I want to for a very low cost. The damage does not affect use, so I don't mind for now. If you are less clumsy, you should have no problems. I would appreciate seeing all-metal premium parts in the future, for those of us that are clumsy :)
My biggest struggle with the Flair has simply been the learning curve for getting the right temperature, the right grind size, the right tamp pressure, the right lever pressure, and the right brew time. I had staler coffee for this first week of ownership and that makes a huge difference, especially with light roasts, so I'm looking forward to using fresh coffee that's roasted a little darker for espresso.
Another big selling point for the Flair is its portability. If I had purchased a semi-automatic machine, it would have to sit on my counter taking up space. With the Flair, I could leave it set up if I want to, or just pack it away in its case so it isn't in the way. Setup takes no time at all. For this first week of ownership, I actually traveled with it and made espresso very easily while I was away from home—you can't do that with a typical espresso machine.
The Flair is very impressive for how simple the design is and for what it can produce for such a low price. The biggest challenge is getting a good brew temperature, which is vitally important for lighter roasts but not so much for darker roasts. Temperature management for light roasts is easy enough to achieve, and should be easier with the stainless steel piston option and through the use of dry heat on the metal parts.
The only true con I can think of is that you are doing a lot of the individual parts of espresso yourself, rather than the machine doing it. Such as heating up the water and parts, and applying pressure. However, these are also benefits, since they give you more control than you could affordably find in a typical espresso machine. The only other con is durability of the plastic, since I'm surprised at how quickly I gouged a part, but that is also my fault for being clumsy.
Overall, I'm very happy with the Flair. I'm able to produce quality espresso after only a few days with it. I can put it away so it isn't taking up space on my counter in my tiny apartment kitchen, and I can take it with me when I travel since I have a hand grinder. I easily get good control over temperature and pressure, which are features that you only get otherwise on very expensive machines, and rarely together. The Flair can also do cold-pressed espresso, which will be fun to play with for cold drinks. I'm surprised at how quickly and easily I can produce espresso with the Flair. I'm finally able to make cafe quality cappuccinos and drinks for my wife (since I already had a separate milk steamer), as well as affogatos and straight espresso for myself!
I got tired of controlling variables, especially temperature. It is annoying to spend time and energy to preheat all parts where water contacts.
This morning, I screamed out of annoyance when I had to waste lots of precious specialty coffee ground and time and hot water as i failed to brew espresso. I have been using Flair for more than 6 months, but I still often fail to brew when I change types of coffee beans. Preheating chamber and portafilter with hot water is time consuming and water consuming, and I have to keep watching a thermometer all because I care about quality of each shot. I am tired of controlling all variables. Flair has potential to brew high quality of espresso if you set up routines and you are skilled and if you don't mind spending extra time and energy for precise preheating. Consistent espresso shots can only be reached when you put lots of your energy and focus in it. I was excited and didn't mind all these when I first got this machine, but I do mind now. Another disappointment was from stainless piston. It was a waste of money to buy it as it gets stuck in the chamber and doesn't come out easily after brewing.
I will stick to an electric machine at home.
Since The concept of Flair is "travelling," I will stay on five star because Flair is better than any other portable machines.
I am a coffee snob making 3 cups of espresso everyday with fresh coffee beans. I bought this product based on reviews on other coffee experts websites.
I have brewed about 20 times so far. The more I brew, the better espresso I get. This is a manual espresso maker with no electricity involved.
Quality:
Flair has an amazing quality in terms of built, design and functionality. It is so easy to use and easy to clean up. I once studied food engineering as a food science major, and I think this product has a solid design in my eyes. I can see the designer's effort to simplify the product. It is also portable which is a plus. I would have bought it even if it was not portable.
If I have to point out a few things to improve, one would be the plastic piston. The piston got broken after 15 cups of brewing. I used too much force to press down the lever with too fine ground coffee, and the round metal piece that was sitting on the top of piston withstanding all the force from the lever popped out of its place, and the lever broke the top part of piston. It was partially my fault using too much force, but I still think that something should not break with a force that a person can possibly put on. A stainless steel piston would make this machine almost perfect although the price will go up. I wouldn't mind paying extra for a stainless steel piston if available.
I thought there were some aluminum parts on the product, but the designer clarified that there is no aluminum used for the product. I am glad the portafilter basket and screen are stainless steel.
The designer of Flair replaced my piston with no charge, and he also replaced my screen to a better one. Now I am a happy customer. I cannot complain for anything. I won't use too fine ground coffee to prevent brokage.
Espresso:
My first shot was sour with little crema. As I practiced more, Flair produced espresso with thick rich crema and good flavor. I use coffee beans in 2 weeks after roasting. I started getting more consistent espresso with more practice. I am still testing different grams of coffee and different grind settings. A little coarser grind than the usual grind for semi-automatic espresso machines is better for Flair.
(I use an excellent espresso grinder. A grinder is more important than an espresso machine to make a high quality espresso if you don't know.)
Customer service:
The inventor of Flair responded to my emails very quickly. He has such a great business mind with flexibility and promptness. He cares about customers' issues.
You will be unlikely to get a good result at the first try, but don't be disappointed. You will be better as you practice more. Overall, this is a solid manual espresso maker that delivers a promising result. I am buying another brewing head and upgrading from the plastic tamper to a stainless steel tamper as I am liking it more.
6 month Update:
It has been almost 6 months since I bought Flair. I still use it about 2-4 times a week.
The designer finally made a stainless steel piston. I just purchased it. I will see how it works. I still love Flair and there has been no issue.
I have suggestions to designer. Flair would be greater if the bottom part of the portafilter can be separated so users can wash inside of it. There might be a reason why the designer permanently attached the top and bottom part of portafilter, but it makes impossible to wash inside area of the bottom plastic part. Also, it would be greater if the portafilter becomes all stainless steel and maybe become one piece.
Currently, I put the portafilter in soapy water after each use so I can clean up inside area. But I don't know what is accumulating inside.
Other than that, Flair is a very good espresso machine. I am making consistent espresso. Don't forget to preheat the brewing head before each use.

Ich trinke übrigens Cappuccino: Für (nahezu) perfekten Milchschaum nutze ich - nach wirklich langem Suchen und einigen Fehlschlägen - den NanoFoamer inklusive Milchkännchen für den Herd. Insgesamt brauche ich somit ca. 4 Minuten für einen exzellenten Cappuccino, also nur unwesentlich länger als mit einer herkömmlichen Siebträgermaschine.
Wem es nicht auf zwei Minuten ankommt, für den ist die Flair ein interessanter Espresso-Maker. Wichtig ist m. E., dass du zwei, drei Sachen parallel machen kannst. Du brauchst ein ordentliches Mahlwerk, wie etwa das von Flair - ich selbst nutze eine Eureka Mignon, zugegebenerweise dann doch auch ein schweres Gerät.
Anfangs hatte ich das Problem, dass der Espresso wahnsinnig schnell durchlief. Ich stellte die Flair sogar für einige Zeit in die Ecke, weil ich dachte, dass es einfach nicht funktioniert. Nun habe ich den richtigen Mahlgrad, den richtigen Workflow und es ist einfach perfekt! Jetzt klappt alles, ich muss mir da keine Gedanken mehr machen. Ich empfehle dir, die Flair zunächst als “Side-Projekt” zu verstehen; vielleicht funktioniert bei dir alles auf Anhieb, bei mir hat es das nicht. Heute will ich mir meinen Espresso bzw. Cappuccino nicht mehr anders zubereiten. Die letztlich ekligen Vollautomaten habe ich dadurch erfolgreich hinter mich gelassen und stattdessen einen (vergleichsweise) minimalistischen Weg gefunden, hochwertigen Espresso zuzubereiten.
Wer Kaffee genießen möchte, findet mit Maschine ein tolle Option, seinen Kaffee zelebrieren zu können.
actually better than my home brevile barista espress (using the grind from that machine)
I use it at work and on weekends trip
delicious
The process of pulling an espresso by hand is one of the more enjoyable parts of this machine. Since owning the flair I've really started to appreciate coffee and because you control all of aspects of the your shot you can test and try different ways to make your perfect espresso from bean, grind setting, water temperature to the pull. It's become a great way to start my day and enjoy coffee. Like any other hand pressed espresso machine It does take some time to pull an espresso shot (including boiling water) so if you just want a quick coffee it may not be ideal but it is makes an amazing shot and is rewarding to make it exactly how you want it. Another note, it's portable and comes in a nice travel kit which makes it easy to take on weekend trips or on the road if you ever feel like bringing it along (which I have).
I'd recommend buying one and at its price point and quality you cant beat it. Also buying a second portafilter if you plan on pulling more than one shot at a time is essential.
