Features
- HANDCRAFT ESPRESSO AT HOME - The Flair NEO Flex is a 100% human-powered, manual espresso press. With the Flair NEO Flex espresso machine, you have a complete manual espresso maker that can produce professional quality shots of espresso from your home, or wherever you are. Add 60ml of boiled water and a dose of up to 18 grams to yield a 40 ml shot with beautiful crema.
- ESPRESSO WITHIN REACH - The NEO Flex is an all-manual, lever-based espresso maker. The NEO Flex is constructed from a lightweight poly frame, which is strong and durable, but also light enough to take or store anywhere. And, because the NEO Flex draws on Flairs existing lever-based espresso technology, you know that youll get delicious espresso in your cup every time.
- CHOOSE YOUR PORTAFILTER - The Flair NEO Flex comes with two different portafilters to provide users the ability to select between convenience and control. Start with the red Flow Control portafilter, which doesnt require a high-quality burr grinder, and which automatically generates the pressure needed for a great espresso extraction. When ready, switch to the Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter to dial in your espresso for full control. This portafilter requires a high quality burr grinder.
- BREWS REAL ESPRESSO - The lever system of the NEO Flex is capable of generating between 6-9 BAR of pressure, exactly that needed to extract cafe-quality espresso. This lever system also offers complete control over your extraction! Brew at different pressure profiles to ensure your espresso is exactly as you want it. The NEO Flex is real espresso, at home or anywhere.
- EASY TO CLEAN - The Flair NEO Flex is easy to clean and comes with a patented, removable brewing head. When done brewing your espresso, just removed the entire brewing head, separate the parts, and rinse with cool water. No complicated washing or cleaning required!

There are a lot of online reviews of the Flair system so I will focus on my initial impressions of the quality of the Flair Neo, rather than making espresso with it. I will update this once I have a handle on pulling a good shot, and after receiving the bottomless portafilter. My normal espresso machine has to be sent in for service, and I wanted to have a high level espresso machine to use on the road with our camper van. The Flair + a hand grinder seemed like the perfect solution. This being the cheapest model in the Flair lineup, I was interested to see how it would stack up to the higher end models that I have seen reviewed. Upon opening the box, the first thing I could tell is that this is a high quality unit. The grey finished metal frame is quality all the way. It's also great to look at, especially with the red and stainless color of the group head / portafilter. The way the frame attaches and detaches is pretty smart -- very stable and yet takes a second to take apart for storage. This will be great for travel. There is also a screw with a washer that they include in the box for permanently attaching the two parts of the frame for added stability if you don't need to take it apart for travel. Without the screw, there is some play in the frame and the handle, but nothing that should cause any instability because once you put 30-40 pounds of force on the lever, nothing is going to move. Included is a red pressurized portafilter. I am somewhat of a geek when it comes to making espresso, so the pressurized portafilter would not be my first choice. I prefer to use the correct grinder and grind settings to dial in my shots and get the maximum flavor out of my espresso. Therefore I plan to get the bottomless portafilter accessory that they offer (there is currently a promo for a free one, but afterwards it is $24, a reasonable price). However, that said, there are times that the pressurized one may come in handy, such as trying a different batch of coffee without having to take the time and waste coffee to dial it in. Plus, being so small, this is an easy thing to keep around while traveling. The plunger for the group head mechanism is made of high-grade plastic. For me, this is probably the biggest disadvantage, as I would prefer 100% stainless. However, the good news is that in the future, if I purchase the pressure gauge, it includes a stainless plunger. This plunger makes contact with the hot water, although it does not directly contact the coffee. I would like to see a stainless steel plunger instead of the plastic one, at least available as an option but without the pressure gauge. The rest of the parts are the plastic funnel (a nice touch) and a plastic hollow tamper. This tamper is not a "real" tamper, but it can do the job. They sell a "real" tamper as an accessory that fits the portafilter size. Speaking of which, here is a general tip I learned that helps one figure out how much force to apply for tamping: press down evenly with increasing progressive force and feel the coffee compress as the tamper moves down. Once you feel the coffee no longer moves, stop. Don't force it. This will create consistent tamping no matter what the coffee or grind level. The final part is a thick plastic tray for placing your cup. This just sits on the frame, and isn't really needed. Nice that they include it but I might not bring it with me for travel. The NEO does not include the case that the higher end models include. I was fine without it, as I will create my own that also has room for a grinder and fits where I need it to. I look forward to getting my feet wet and learning to pull good shots with the Flair. Overall, the Neo -- with the optional bottomless portafilter -- is a good value and seems to offer the same quality as in the higher end models, and since the components are the same, obviously the espresso pulled will be of equivalent quality. UPDATE: After a little while with this Neo I quickly realized I wanted the Pro 2 version. The main reason was because the Neo can't accommodate the pro's group head (available separately), which was only apparent to me after purchase. The capacity of the Neo is a bit small, and the shape of the basket combined with the bottomless filter makes it difficult to avoid a bit of a sideways splattering mess. The Neo is wonderful, but the pro has truly blown my mind and was well worth the upgrade. After a little bit of a learning curve, I'm now pulling shots consistently better or at least on par with what I often get at the very best third-wave espresso bars.

Simple doesn’t mean easy. I’ve wanted a pump espresso since being in Italy 30 years ago. I hope I get better at it. There’s a trick for sure.

The media could not be loaded. The only think I didn’t like about it is that it only brews one shot at a time, but it doesn’t appear that there’s an explicitly two shot version either so I think I got the best one for my nights. I really enjoy having quality espresso for the first time in my life from the convenience of my kitchen. You should get an equally expensive coffee grinder since the bean area isn’t that much bigger than what they recommend for 15-17g of coffee. I have read that crema is what helps determine if you’re drinking legitimate espresso or not. Rest assured you are following instructions if you see the light brown foam at the top and that it will taste delicious. I also highly recommend pouring hot water over the large metal part in advance of using it (the part that you put over the bottom part… the part you eventually pour water in anyway I mean!! Idk what it’s called) — just as ground beans, smoothed flat are factors to a good cup, too definitely is the pressure of the lever, and so too definitely is the heating up of that metal piece. Idk why though. The only three things that annoy me are: - it only brews enough for 1 shot at a time, but it’s easy enough to clean that I can make a 2nd shot after and in less time - the coffee beans do get packed in tight, so I have to bang a lot to get them out and normally just settle for scraping out with my finger if my roommate is still asleep (which is hot but not always necessary) - there really isn’t that much room for more than 15-17g coffee so either my scale is off or there’s barely enough room for the amount of coffee they recommend. However, they do recommend getting a bang can for the coffee. I might just start using a butter knife to scrape out what gets stuck. And they do suggest a coffee grinder and a certain level of ground bean, which I just ordered now, so I’m curious to see if that 15-17g or coffee fits in and gets packed in a little tighter to leave some more room when ground fully. Overall, it beats the crap out of the last espresso maker I had, which apparently wasn’t even legitimate espresso! As it never made the foam and now I look back at it as if it were just a cheap kureg.

Great idea, good price, but it is made of plastic and the base kept popping apart when I applied any pressure to it. I returned it and ordered the metal version almost immediately.

What I like: Inexpensive entry into espresso at home. Makes good espresso if you take the time to learn the art of espresso making. Compact and doesn't take up any counter space if you take it apart and put it away after use. Plenty of room to use a scale, especially if you don't use the "drip tray". You can take the small plastic pressure restrictor out and have a non-pressurized basket. Upgrade items such as bottomless basket and pressure guage are available and not very expensive. What I don't like: Cleanup is a bit of a hassle. Drip tray is just a platform, don't bother using it. Put a kitchen towel under the Flair and keep a small cup handy for drips instead. It takes a bit of practice to get it right, but when you do you'll have great espresso.
