☕️ Flair Espresso Maker PRO 2 (Black) - A premium manual lever espresso machine featuring a stainless steel brew head and pressure gauge Review

Great: My first espresso machine and the result is great, better than expected. And I think it's forgivable, I've had recordings with clear channel issues, but the results were amazing nonetheless. Expect a better fit. And I'm not sure I missed it, but I wish there was a special place in the travel case for the pressure gauge, which looks like the most fragile thing of all.

I bought this product for my husband to make espresso while travelling. It may take a little longer than our homemade Breville Barista Expresso machine (originally $800), but it's obvious that the espresso it produces is even better! In fact, it makes such GREAT espresso that my husband is considering packing it up and using a machine of this caliber on a daily basis. It took him about 3 tries to figure out how to get the best shots, so don't give up if your first few tries are unsuccessful…

👎 Very very wobbly and uneven manual straightener. For the very high price, I expected a more detailed quality than the item received. It may have been a lemon, but since I see another customer also reporting similar issues, Chrome PRO 2 seems to be a flop. See photos for reference: the leveling arm is tilted quite a bit to the left and the bracket has more clearance on one side. These points relate to the even and balanced production part and I imagine the safety of using the machine. Also…

Excellent coffee maker. Very capable of making excellent espresso. The quality of the parts gives it a premium look, almost all metal and almost no plastic. The silicone rubber provides a comfortable feel in areas where the user interacts most with the machine. It offers lever grip and isolates the water tank and basket quite well. The last two pieces can be slightly thicker to reduce the amount of heat conducted and transferred, but this is usually only an issue when using steam for…

I wanted to buy a portable espresso machine that could make high quality espresso and that I could use anywhere I need it. I've tried using the Aeropress but while it makes good coffee it's a different brewing method and being an espresso drinker I've started looking elsewhere. I tried to make an espresso similar to what I get at home using the Breville Express Pro and the Vario-W grinder. I've always read great reviews about Flair espresso machines from James Hoffmann, Hoon's Coffee and…

I've always loved espresso, but it wasn't until the pandemic that I felt the need to brew it at home. Day. I've been using it for two weeks and have already taken (or pushed?) some amazing shots as you can see in the photos (it's a dark medium roast, 20% robusta and 80% arabica). Not only does this machine have an open portafilter, it also has a pressure gauge that allows for both profiling and real-time pressure monitoring, which (as far as I know) is only found in higher price ranges. Also…
