Flair Neo wit v2

The Flair NEO is revolutionary. In this price range it’s the only machine that makes genuine espresso.
This manual espresso machine can easily generate 9bar of pressure (or more). Thanks to the pressurized portafilter you also can pull a tasty espresso with a good crema when your grinder doesn’t grind fine enough. Beause of the it is the ideal machine for starting baristas.

Do you want to experiment even further and have more control? Then you can easliy upgrade by, for example, using a ‘normal’ portafilter, or use the Flair manometer which gives you the perfect pressure-control so you can do some pressure-profiling.

Compared to other machines, it’s super easy to do very different things with a Flair, like e.g. cold-press espresso on sunny days.

Or you can imitate the pressure profile of a E61 machine, or a lever-machine, or taste a “Scott Rao high-extraction shot“.
Last year the espresso world got shaken around a bit by the release of this paper: “Systematically Improving Espresso: Insights from Mathematical Modeling and Experiment“. With a Flair you can try this theory for yourself.

It might be hard to believe considering the price, but a Flair can make espresso at least as good as a much more expensive semi-automatic machines, and so much more. A Flair-shot has superior texture and mouthfeel, while giving much more control over the final taste.

As you manually build up pressure, you literally feel the flow of water through the coffee puck, so you’re in full control all the time. Therefore, a manual espresso shot tastes superior too, you have a physical connection with the beverage you’re brewing.
