Having owned this machine for a while I feel like I can offer a detailed review. As an avid coffee connoisseur, I procure green beans from reliable sources and roast to my specifications. For comparison I own over 40 brewing apparatuses. Asthetic design: very nice. I think that is w what drew me to the machine in the first place. Mechanical design: leaves a little too be desired. Filter group/piston cylinder is cumbersome. Preheating is difficult (setting cylinder in hot water). Removing the piston can be difficult as it binds due to expansion). The ability to make more than one shot or a long pull requires removal of group, cooling enough to handle, pulling the piston out then resetting on machine (no long pulls). Also found that packing and reassembly causes the parts to start being loose. Brewing: getting the bring just right for this machine takes time and still difficult to get a consistent drama (using sane grind as other machines that give consistent drama). If the grid is right three mental press of 25 - 40 seconds creates a decent amount if pressure. Practice. Cleaning: as stated before, cylinder is hot. Removal of puck requires either blowing through filter or tapping out, but because puck is wet is firms a suction making difficult to remove. Other than those items cleaning is easy enough. Travel: good concept except not enough room left in case for extras like brew heads, tamper, etc. Sleek design otherwise. Also need a source for hot water. Overall I gives this three stars. Not an everyday machine for me as it takes too much time and effort. Nice aesthetics and portability. For a portable machine I prefer the ROK.

I've owned handpresso and minipresso, tried staresso and many others... none of those actually produced real espresso. Strong coffee, that's what they put out and it's better than weak coffee if that's the alternative--but no more! Flair makes espresso as good or better than most home machines available, and for far less money! More impressively, it delivers the most reliable and consistent results you'll ever find with an espresso machine. The secret to it's success is its simplified design that makes preheating brewgroup easy by omitting everything superfluous to the process of making espresso. The human powered lever provides complete control of the extraction while it's occurring, creating the perfect feedback loop. If you ground the coffee too fine or tamped with too much force, you can still save the day (shot) albeit with some extra muscle--your pump machine would have just choked at this point. Now if you ground too coarse or didn't tamp well enough, you can ease up on the lever and still come in over 25 seconds of extraction. Preinfusion is a feature of high-end machines. The Flair can do that to! Just start the extraction slowly, with light pressure for the first 10-15 degrees of rotation on lever, pause for 2-5 seconds and then complete the 25-40 second in total extraction as usual. The maintenance on the Flair is so much easier than on a home machine. No backflushes or descales necessary! In most cases, poor extractions and bitter or rancid coffee is a result of a machine in desperate need of service. With the Flair you have direct access to all brewgroup parts making it easy to keep clean, ensuring it delivers smooth tasting espresso each and every time. For best results do the following: make sure to grind only FRESHLY ROASTED espresso beans to a FINE grind targeting extractions in the 25-40 second duration. TAMP roughly 17-18 grams of coffee loaded into portafilter with 30-40# of pressure (play with your bathroom scale to figure this out). Try a two-step process whereby you load portafilter to the top, tamp, then reload and tamp again making sure to leave room for dispersion screen. PREHEAT the cylinder and cup with rapidly boiling water. Brew only with water between 198-205 F (93-96 C) the cup too if you enjoy your espresso HOT. Darker roasts usually fare best when brew water is closer to 198F and lighter roasts closer to 205F. Setup the Flair close to the sink for easy clean-up, invert portafilter and blow from the side of spout to eject puck, alternatively knock puck out by tapping against a cutting board held over trash or dig the spent coffee out with finger or wooden spoon. If you are having a hard time removing the piston from cylinder, place plastic tamper upside down on counter and slide cylinder down on top until piston pops out. Do these things and you will be very happy with the Flair and find that it outperforms all portable and most home machines. If you're not getting a ton of crema in the cup, you're doing something wrong--re-read my instructions above! pro-tip: PREHEAT the cylinder a few times when using lighter roasts--higher temps are required for best results.

I love this product and design. I have been looking for a compact espresso maker for the road to come close to what I have been using at home. I had Ranchilio Silvia, then Breville Oracle that I really enjoy but can't take with me when I travel. I tried many portable devices. I tried the ROK and some other less expensive makers like Handpresso, and Minipresso that work but don't give you the quality or crema of a home set up that costs at least $1000-$2000. I also discovered another little plastic device called the Prexo (from Korea) that fell apart after a few months and is currently discontinued. I was a little skeptical trying another gadget at first, but after watching some videos I decided to give it a try. Everything about this maker is beautifully crafted. It's very sturdy (assembled in seconds, the upper and lower stand can be attached with optional screw for extra stability). All you need is hot boiling water and freshly ground coffee beans. I always use beans that were roasted within last 7-14 days. That's how you get the best crema, and there is plenty if you dial in your grind properly. I also have a portable high quality hand grinder from Orphanespresso called Lido E-T. You can use any burr grinder (electric or hand) that gives you enough control to adjust the grind for fine espresso grounds. One may be intimidated by the number of separate parts when you first look at it. But it assembles quickly, and cleaning is easily done in the sink under running water. It is a smaller diameter than your average portafilter (around 40mm), but It doesn't seem to effect the quality. What is most important is to heat up the steel cylinder, either by boiling it or assembling it with an upside piston as the base and filling it with boiling water. If you choose the second, some users recommend repeating it 2-3 times to heat up the cylinder to recommended temperature of around 200F which is optimum for a great shot. With this bundle, you can simultaneously prepare two portafilters for 2 shots in a row. The recommended dose of beans is 14-17grams. I had used a little more, but would not recommend using more than 18grams. Believe me, it's plenty. Flair reports that some user managed to fit 30grams of light roast for a triple shot. But, I can't imaging how. The portafilter and the cylinder in my view are a little small for that. The steel in the cylinder will get really hot and hold that temperature well, and the addition of silicone sleeve is very useful to allow to handle the unit with your bare hands. Everything folds in included case for storage and carrying. Have to mention great service from the manufacturer. Had discovered a small defect initially with the upper part being slightly not aligned. It still worked perfectly, but I was just concerned. Had contacted Flair. They apologized and shipped out almost immediately the new part and now it's perfect. Had it for a couple of months, really enjoying it and even like using it at home. It gives me more control than my $2000 machine.
