Oh boy, I was so excited to try out Flair's new edition to their manual espresso lineup! If you're a novice coffee brewer that is starting to get bored of your french presses, V60s, Chemex, Aeropress, Mokapot, etc. and really want to get that Starbucks/coffee shop taste at home, this is your entry into espresso at home. For reference, this is my current NEO coffee setup: * 16g coffee with 1:2 ratio (32g of espresso out) * Timemore Slim Coffee Grinder (dialed in at 10-11 clicks, ymmv) *Hamilton Beach Gooseneck Kettle at 212F *Some cheap scale that can only do +/- 1g Pros: This machine is cheap. 120 for a espresso press is a cheap entry into the world of espresso. There's other cheaper options (even electric espresso machines for this price range) but they don't generate a good shot. They're variable and inconsistent (you pay for what you get!). The Flair Neo has the potential to make a great shot, given that you're willing to keep testing. The Neo comes with a pressurized portafilter (namely called the flow controlled basket), opposed from a bottomless one you'd find on expensive espresso machines. The plus of this is that the pressurized portafilter is it is very forgiving. To have good, legitimate espresso requires a good bur grinder that you can dial down. I for one, don't have that. My grinder can grind espresso but dialing in is hell. This portafilter is forgiving in that it still taste good even though the grind isn't! Jumping directly into a Flair Signature or Classic with my current set up would not be great. This makes a great stepping stone because.... The Neo is upgrade-able! for 24 more buckaroos, you can upgrade the pressurized to a bottomless portafilter and have a setup like the Flair classic. Like burning more money? 56 more buckaroos gets you a pressure gage so you can really dial in your shots. Having options like this makes any espresso beginner ease into the hobby instead of jumping into expensive gear that has a high learning curve. Cons: For the price you're getting this, there's not many cons that a standout, but definitely to consider if you're planning to get into the hobby. The Flair Neo is not a top notch device. It's an entry level machine with the ability to be better with a few extra parts. If you want to get something great from the get go, Flair has the signature line or Pro2. A pressurized portafilter is not going to get you a coffee shop shot from your favorite barista Monday morning; but it gets damned close if you put in the effort. One of the difficult things to deal with is thermal management of the press. You will have to preheat everything from the portafilter, to chamber, and piston. This is annoying but that's the trade-off with manual presses and , in my opinion, a worthy trade-off compared to spending x3-x6 as much for a electric/automated machine. Another thing that disappoints is the shot size, 60ml. If you want to make multiple shots, this will take a while. If you like lattes, this device obviously doesn't steam milk like a double boiling espresso machine would. The lack of a carrying case, compared to the other models, is sad but also I don't find myself using carrying cases often so that depends on what you plan on using this for. Conclusion: I think the Flair Neo is a great entry into espresso. It's definitely not the best manual press, but it's best cheap manual one. If you're a beginner with interest into making espresso, there's no reason not to try the Neo. If you like it, upgrade it! If you don't, not much of a loss! Perhaps, I might need a second Neo ;-)

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.

First, all of the good things. For the money, I'm not sure there is a better espresso machine out there. For just over $100 getting a machine that will pull you consistent shots is no small thing. Add in the fact that the assembly and cleaning is drop dead easy and you have something that has quickly become part of my morning routine. There are however, a couple small tweaks I wish flair had made. For one, the pressurized basket is no beuno. I understand the addition. For people without a proper grinder, creating the amount of pressure that true espresso needs is going to be very difficult. The pressurized basket helps to emulate espresso with coarser ground coffee. Unfortunately, it also puts a limit on how good any shot from the Neo can be. They are consistent, yes, but consistently more watered down and weaker than you would want a shot of espresso to be. I don't think I would drink a shot from the Flair Neo straight. I also find the whole unit to be a little unstable, which is unnerving for a device that you are actively pushing on to produce your coffee. Finally, I think a true tamper would have been a nice inclusion, even if it did bump the cost a bit. The measuring basket works in a pinch, but doesn't provide a very compelling user experience. With all that said, I think if you are looking for an entry level espresso machine, particularly if you don't currently have a good grinder, the Flair Neo is going to provide you with an awesome experience. Beware though, if you're anything like me it will propel you into a search for upgrades to enhance your (initially) cheap espresso setup :)
