Know before you buy
Yes, this is a manual espresso maker and does not include a built-in grinder. You will need a high-quality burr grinder capable of producing a fine, consistent espresso grind to achieve proper extraction.
The machine features an integrated heating element with three temperature settings. This allows you to preheat the brew head to ensure thermal stability, which is critical for consistent espresso extraction.
Yes, the Flair 58 Plus uses a standard 58mm portafilter size. This makes it compatible with many aftermarket accessories, such as precision baskets, tampers, and distribution tools.
No, the Flair 58 Plus is a manual espresso maker designed strictly for brewing coffee. It does not have a steam wand or milk frothing capabilities, so you would need a separate milk frother if you enjoy lattes or cappuccinos.
The valve plunger is designed to improve your workflow by allowing you to fill the water reservoir without removing the portafilter. It simplifies the brewing process, making it easier to pull multiple shots in succession.
While the Flair 58 Plus offers wireless brewing capability once the brew head is heated, you must plug it in to utilize the integrated preheat system. Once the desired temperature is reached, you can disconnect the power to brew manually.
