Flair Espresso Makers are all about doing things the old-fashioned way: by hand. That doesn't mean that the experience can't be luxurious, however. The Flair 58 Plus 2 is Flair Espresso's flagship manual espresso maker, the culmination of years of design, innovation, and perfection of the Flair Espresso form factor. This latest edition empowers the dedicated home barista to perfectly craft espresso with full control and visibility of all the variables. It's also a thing of beauty. About Flair Espresso Flair Espresso's mission is to encourage lovers of great coffee to slow down and make their beloved beverage by hand. Flair Espresso Makers aren't just manual equivalents of their traditional, electric counterparts. They are cleverly-engineered, fully analogue precision tools that allow a dedicated home barista to control every variable, including pressure, to make the the perfect espresso. About the Flair 58 Series The Flair 58 series, introduced in 2021, builds on the success of the original Flair Espresso Maker from 2016. This series was created with the aim of offering a premium manual espresso experience. The big difference between the Flair 58 series and the rest of the Flair lineup is that it uses a standard 58mm portafilter and basket, just like a premium home espresso machine, or even a commercial one. That offers several benefits. Not only does it mean that the extraction dynamics are virtually identical to the machines that the coffee world is used to; it also means that the parts and accessories are interchangeable, allowing Flair users to choose the tampers, baskets, distributors, puck screens and other tools that they want to use. About the Flair 58 Plus 2 Espresso Maker The Flair 58 Plus 2 Espresso Maker is built to include absolutely everything you could want from your manual espresso maker. As it's part of the 58 series, it uses standard 58mm components and it even comes with a beautiful walnut palm tamper of its own, as well as a puck screen and high and low-flow espresso baskets. It is solidly built and beautifully finished with walnut wood accents. From a functionality perspective, it is the best Flair Espresso Maker yet. It features a built-in, easy to use pressure gauge that helps you dial in your extraction pressure. It also includes an electric pre-heating system that lets you preheat your grouphead to one of three distinct settings. To help you monitor your extraction, a strategically positioned, articulating mirror allows you to see under the portafilter as you press the lever arm. Despite all these features, the Flair 58 Plus 2 is still very compact, and the version we are offering comes with a travel case that lets you take it wherever you happen to be going.
