Product description The Flair Espresso Maker provides an elegant way to handcraft your own espresso from home, or wherever you may find yourself. At Flair, we asked the question, "What is the minimum needed to brew a professional-level shot of espresso?" Years of experience led us to design a simple lever press that produces delicious espresso, topped with thick crema, without any pods or electricity. Brewing espresso with the Flair is an art form, and not a push-button solution. This product is targeted to those interested in taking the time to fully enjoy the process of handcrafting their favorite drink. Before purchasing, please know that to produce real espresso, you'll need to have access to freshly ground coffee beans and a burr grinder. Custom Pressure Gauge We designed the Flair to make the best espresso possible. The result is a strong and beautiful press, made with quality materials like stainless steel and aluminum, that delivers consistent quality without the need for electricity. And the custom pressure gauge makes dialing in your shot easy with instant feedback. Custom Travel Case Every Flair comes standard with our custom fitted travel case to ensure safe transport either to a friend's, to work, or across the globe. The Flair breaks down into three major components: the base, the post and the brewing head. Together with the funnel and measuring cup you have everything you need for espresso anywhere. Café-Quality Espresso Making espresso is an art form. Espresso made manually with the Flair is a work of art. Consistently regarded by customers as having quality that rivals any other machine, our espresso shots are complex and full of flavor with delicate crema that blooms in your cup as you brew. The Flair is simple, pure, espresso.
