What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Flair 58 Pro 2 for its exceptional build quality and the unparalleled control it offers over manual espresso extraction. Enthusiasts value the robust construction and premium materials, suggesting durability and longevity. The primary appeal is the precise manipulation of preinfusion and pressure profiling, which consistently yields superior espresso shots with rich flavor. Reviewers note that the resulting quality rivals much more expensive machines. While it requires effort and a good grinder, users find the hands-on process deeply rewarding. The integrated preheating system significantly improves workflow and consistency, cementing its status as a top-tier manual lever system.
Know before you buy
Because this is a manual machine, you will need a high-quality burr grinder capable of espresso-fine grinds and a kettle to heat your water. These are not included with the unit.
No, the Flair 58 Pro 2 is designed exclusively for espresso extraction. It does not feature a steam wand or milk frothing capabilities.
The integrated pressure gauge provides real-time feedback, allowing you to manually maintain the ideal 6-9 bar pressure range. This consistency is essential for dialing in your grind size and achieving a balanced extraction.
Yes, its manual design and compact footprint make it highly portable. However, keep in mind that you will still need to transport your grinder and a heat source to brew away from home.
The removable spout allows you to switch between a bottomless setup for monitoring your extraction and a spouted setup for cleaner pouring into smaller cups. It adds versatility to your workflow depending on your preferred brewing style.
The 56ml brew cylinder allows for a larger water capacity than many other manual makers. This gives you the flexibility to pull longer shots or experiment with higher brew ratios.
