The Flair 58 is a beautifully minimalist manual lever machine, perfect for espresso lovers. What makes the Flair 58 so special is that it gives you a lot of control over extracting a shot of espresso. Everything from pre-infusion (gently moistening the espresso disc) to changing pressure during extraction.
The Flair 58 is the evolution of the "Flair Espresso" approach to hand-crafted espresso. It features a full 58mm filter holder and filter basket, a preheated reservoir, a new flow valve design for easy refilling, a pressure gauge, and a large, easy-to-use lever. It has a cast aluminum structure, stainless steel components, wood on the lever handles and filter holder that sets a new standard.
Over the last few years there has been an increase in direct and manual lever machines hitting the market. More and more people are realizing that direct levers provide something that $5,000 to $25,000 machines struggle to do with complicated technology: pressure profiles. Even spring lever machines do this, but in a constant decreasing curve. Direct levers allow you to adjust the pressure throughout the extraction. You are literally the bomb and have constant control of the pump pressure.
Flair 58 is a professional-grade, fully manual lever espresso machine that focuses on maximizing workflow and espresso from home extractions. This newest gold standard in manual espresso features Flair's first industry-standard 58mm portafilter, as well as a more robust frame and lever for easier extractions at higher pressures. The 58 also includes upgrades to the preheat process and workflow, providing a preheat temperature controller and a new valve plunger, which includes a disc screen. Simply set your brew head to one of three heat settings to ensure proper preheating and thermal control with each dose. Add water to your drink without having to remove the stem!
The Flair 58 is available in two versions:
The basic model with a beveled, low-flow 18-gram basket.
And the additional basket model that includes an additional 18-gram straight-walled, high-flow basket.
The 18 gram low flow basket is perfect for any coffee lover who wants to prepare their espresso at home and allows for a dosage range between 16-22 grams. This low-flow basket, when compared to the standard straight-walled basket of the Flair 58, allows for an easier brewing process, allowing for a coarser grind for proper extractions, thus increasing overall compatibility with a variety of grinders.
If you like lever and manual extraction espresso machines, the Flair 58 could be the perfect machine for you. This does not mean that the machine is perfect. But you'll be hard-pressed to find a better manual lever puller on the market.
The standard 58mm portafilter and reservoir flow valve design mean you can safely deliver dose after dose from the machine.
It's truly wonderful to have the ability to control pressure to minimal levels throughout the extraction process. This takes espresso production to its own level and makes you a vital part of the quality of the resulting shot. The Flair 58's pressure gauge is well positioned, easy to read and very accurate.
What comes with purchasing your Flair 58:
The base, the main structure and the lever assembly, the group's heated reservoir, the already installed valve plunger, the pressure gauge fixing valve, the filter holder with "puck screen" and the preheating electrical parts, including a giant power supply.
You’ll also find the filter basket that Flair calls the “low flow” 18g basket or opt for the “high flow” straight wall basket. A disc screen, a tamper, silicone drip tray, preheated silicone lid (in case you want to operate the machine without power) and product manual.
The group head assembly is encased in a textured silicone sleeve to prevent possible burns or contact with hot surfaces. It has texture and molding, including two side handles.
