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 Espresso Classic Manual Espresso Maker for Home

Our Design Distinguishes Us

We 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 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 measuing cup you have everything you need for espresso anywhere.

The Taste Defines Us

Making 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.

Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the coffee maker. Some mention that the system is very easy to use, very straight forward, and assembled in seconds. The instructions are clear and concise, making it more secure and convenient for handling by the post. However, others say that there is a learning curve to get the right grind for your roast, the right tamping, and that the process takes much longer on the Flair than it would on a semi-automatic.

"...The process takes about 5 minutes, including setup, hand grinding, heating up parts and water. Cleanup is quick and simple...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the temperature stability of the coffee maker. Some mention that it holds that temperature well, and the addition of silicone, the dense, stainless capsule enables good retention of heat. However, others say that the espresso doesn't get warm enough, and that the brewing head is too hot to take apart to immediately start making a cup. They also say that hot water is needed and that getting a good brew temperature is vitally important for lighters.

Stoked that it works!! Great lil shots
5 Stars
Stoked that it works!! Great lil shots
Update: Week 2. Still haven't used my Espresso Machine. Still brewing just with Flair. I switched up my bean to a medium roast Nicaraguan i got on a Surf Trip to Popoyo in May. I've found between both medium roast beans i've been experimenting with that the flair like a medium to fine grind. Not too medium not too fine. Like 5/8 to 3/4 to under 7/8ths. Really Tasty shots with a thin créma on top. I would like to see version two with a fatter brewhead. But this thing works great so far. It's compact. Upgraded to a 5 star. I'm really surprised how well it works. And it's consistent. You can get consisent results. Consistently bad. Will point you to a direction for consistently good and I'm there now. I've tasted the jet fuel. Which you can add hot water to and have an Americano Coffee. But i've slao had tasty shots. I'm always surprised about just how good they are. From this cheap little assembly? Genius craftsmanship! Why didn't I think of this. It's so simple. The Italian's with their extremely complicated machines. I spent a week trying to fix a broken Espresso La Pavoni in France last year. Never could get it to start. But it shorted all the power in the house everytime I plugged it in. Won'thappen this year hah. No electricity needed. Okay I need to grind the beans. ⚡️ Espresso. It's great. I love it. It's coffee for purists. People who enjoy undoctored beautiful raw flavors. It's passion. It's patience. It's not for everyone. I've been practicing the art of crafting delicate espresso flavors since 2011 when I quit having Lattes & Mochas. I wanted to enjoy a pure goût as it was meant to be enjoyed. Unaltered. No cream. No sugar. To get there you have to embrace another side of coffee. The lighter side. Now I am almost a Coffee Jedi, but still a Padawan learner.With Drip Coffee, you can just grind and pour hot water over it and you get what you get based on the kind of love and attention you put in. It's almost always light, hot, and drinkable.With Espresso there's a lot more variables and nuances. You have to have a lot of Patience. It's a lot like tuning a guitar, except you don't have a little digital box telling you when you've hit the right note. It's probably more like compiling software and testing it to make sure everything is working as it should.With Drip Coffee you can just grind and go.With Espresso you've got to make several iterations to figure out the right grind (coarse or fine) that works best with your bean. Each bean is different. Personally I find freshly roasted beans to be the most brittle. So try to buy your beans from a place where you can actually smell them roasting the beans. This means not starbucks. 🦉. With Espresso. When you find a bean that you love it's because you've made several iterations of espresso. You've made bad ones and good ones and great ones and now you know the temperature of the water you need, the grind size that works best, etc. Espresso requires your due diligence to master.Do not expect great results on grind number one whether you have a $10,000 machine, a $3,000 machine, a $1000 machine, or an $170 hand crank like the Flair.It'll take patience and practice to get it right. Everytime you switch bean you have to restart the process. Personally I find a bean and stick with it, for this exact reason.You've opened the box...Step 1. Super Glue? It should be kept in the fridge, I keep mine on the top door shelf. Grab yours and you want to put a dab of glue on each of the rubber feet. They are basically falling off right out of the box. Personally I do this to everything that needs a felt pad or rubber pad, i hate that they're always falling off. Do it once. And be content forever is my MOTTO!I'm on day 3 of Flair use. I haven't turned on my Breville dual boiler in three days. Woo.The package says : DO NOT USE ULTRA FINE GRIND. I did. Because I drink MEDIUM ROAST coffee which is NATURALLY SWEETER. YOU DON'T need to add any sugar or cream. And I pressed slowly. And got what i've come to know as coffee JET FUEL. It's strong and acidic, but not quite espresso. Day 2. Did it all again. Warm up the shot. Warm up my cup. Boil some water. Testing out how much pressure i can put using the tamper. Testing out if I can do a little pre wetting of the grinds by doing a short press with no water output. Count 12 seconds then resume pressing. This is what my Breville will do for my daily Swiss Café style espresso brews.Day 3. I changed to a coarser grind and got a lil créma on top. And a smooth and tasty espresso and thought I'd write a quick review.Suggestions. I think I would suggest the $199 version. I bought the cheaper one with the Tamper, but now I want an extra cylinder for my double shot action. Or if someone else wants a shot.Video: My first flair facial reactions. Sadly it didn't wipe away the bags under my tired 👀.ConYou can't warm up the group head. It's plastic. It should be stainless steel. But this is a kickstarter project so they're strapped for cash and testing the market. Plus i need it for travelling so. I guess it's lighter. They'll get it right with the next product release.Shot size is a little small for my liking. But then everything would be that much bigger and heavier so I'm content that it's my travel espresso.Sure there's room for improvement. But I find that in everything for a first draft. This kickstarter nailed it. Most kickstarter's i find are just beautiful belly flops, but this is a swan dive. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
