Know before you buy
No, this portafilter is specifically designed for the Flair PRO 2. It is not compatible with the Flair Neo, Classic, or Signature series due to the specific diameter and brew head requirements of the PRO 2.
The bottomless design allows you to observe the espresso extraction in real-time. This visual feedback helps you identify issues with your grind size or tamping technique, such as channeling, so you can adjust your process for a better shot.
The basket is designed to hold between 16 and 24 grams of coffee. This capacity allows for a true double shot, providing enough volume for a standard espresso or a base for milk-based drinks.
Yes, because the PRO 2 basket has a 46mm diameter, you will need a 46mm tamper to ensure an even, level puck. Using the correct size is essential for preventing channeling and ensuring consistent extraction.
This is a non-pressurized, professional-grade portafilter. It relies entirely on your grind quality and tamping technique to build pressure, which provides more control over the flavor profile of your espresso.
