Flair Espresso Maker PRO 2 (Black) - An all manual lever espresso maker with stainless steel brew head and pressure gauge

Product Information

Workflow: I used the Flair PRO review and user experience thread as guides so not repeating here. I've only run a couple bags of beans through the system and have much still to learn. Flair Signature PRO Review and User Experience: Flair Signature PRO

Flair Pro 2 is the Flair espresso model I tested. This might be the best value of the Flair lineup, as It’s considerably more expensive compared to the Flair Classic, but it has a better build quality and a larger capacity. However, it’s not the ultimate like the Flair 58. If you only drink espresso and want a durable, manual espresso maker that won’t break the bank, the Flair espresso maker could be a perfect choice.Aus diesem Grund richtet sich dieses Modell an diejenigen, die bereits eine gewisse Erfahrung im Espressobereich haben, und die anderen Modelle, wie die Flair Neo, die wir in einem anderen Artikel sehen werden, richten sich an diejenigen, die gerade erst in die Welt des Kaffees einsteigen und vielleicht noch keine gute Mühle haben. Tipps für die Verwendung der Flair Pro-2 Kaffeemaschine HANDCRAFT SHOTS OF ESPRESSO – The Flair PRO 2 is a 100% human-powered, manual espresso press. With the Flair PRO 2, you have a complete manual espresso machine that can produce professional quality shots of espresso from your home, or wherever you are. Add 70ml of boiled water and a dose of up to 24 grams to yield up to a 56 ml shot with beautiful crema. A burr grinder is essential for use with this product. Pre-heating of group head: My kettle is a 1.2L Hario on a gas stove. I did 2 pre-heats of the group head with water just off the boil prior to putting the head on the portafilter to fill again and pull the shot. I added the optional adhesive temp strip to the group head at the base, and while I didn't validate its accuracy it appears consistent so should be useful for day-to-day shot pulls as a relative indicator the group head is hot enough. At one point I wanted to see how high a temp I could record on the temp strip by doing 6 successive pre-heats, but found it leveled off after 3 pre-heats at 194F on the strip. Posting user impressions after one month of daily use. This is a lonely thread here on HB, but I don't care because I'm very happy with the results! Flair espresso makers are more affordable than semi-automatic and super-automatic devices. They are also light and portable, starting at about five pounds. They come with a carrying case so you can take them on road trips, camping, and more, as long you can boil water too.

Product Name: The instructions from this point on weren’t super clear unfortunately. While there were images to help guide the setup, it was still challenging to identify the pieces in the instructions because, as mentioned, some of the parts look incredibly similar to other parts. Needless to say, I had a lot of trial and error in setting it up the first time.In total, it probably took about 30 minutes to get the Flair Pro 2 working for the first time. After that, it was much easier and took about 10 to 15 minutes to make an espresso. Performance: Hands on, but mostly enjoyable Next, it’s time to prepare the brew head (consists of the portafilter, plunger, and cylinder). Add the preheat cap onto the bottom of the cylinder and fill it with the water that was previously heating. Leave the water in for 30 seconds and then pour it out and remove the preheat cap. This is to preheat the brew head, which helps to produce a well-extracted shot (so in other words, don’t skip this step). Then, place the cylinder on top of the portafilter.

Mô tả sản phẩm & Hướng dẫn

Overall, I’m a fan of Flair espresso makers. They have a durable build, affordable price, and, most importantly, produce great espresso. However, keep in mind you’ll need a quality burr grinder, kettle, and a pressure gauge with some models. Ehrlich gesagt, was mich am meisten überrascht hat, ist, dass wir Espressi erhalten, die sehr ähnlich oder manchmal sogar besser sind als einige professionelle Maschinen, die mehr als das Zehnfache ihres Preises kosten. Und das liegt an dem großen Vorteil, dass uns absolut alle Variablen zur Verfügung stehen. I won’t lie; brewing espresso with Flair espresso machines requires a learning curve, particularly around the setup and cleaning.

In terms of setup, I have to be honest and admit the Flair Pro 2 is quite daunting once you take all of the pieces out of the carrying case. There are over 10 individual parts, not to mention they are all relatively small and look very similar to one another. This made it all the more challenging to setup.In terms of size, this espresso machine is very small in comparison to electric espresso machines. Measuring 14 inches by 10 inches by 4 inches, it has a very small kitchen counter footprint. This allowed me to fit it nearly anywhere where I could find a small nook on my counters. Included with this manual espresso machine is also an optional part to permanently attach Flair to the counter if desired. The portafilter has a larger capacity than the other Flair models. It holds up to 24 g of ground coffee and yields 56 ml of espresso. Bei dieser Maschine muss man sich die Zeit nehmen, alles vorzubereiten, das Wasser zu erhitzen, die Teile vorzuwärmen und so weiter. Das mag nach vielen Schritten klingen, aber es ist wie bei allem anderen: Wenn man sie einmal in seine Routine eingebaut hat, tut man sie fast ohne nachzudenken. In terms of performance, the Flair Pro 2 brews high-quality espresso — equivalent to what you’d make with an electric espresso machine. It’s quite amazing. In my opinion, the brewing experience is all part of this product and it’s quite beautiful. Yes, it does take a bit longer than an electric machine — around 10 to 15 minutes — but it’s quite enjoyable at the same time. As someone who really enjoys crafting coffee at home, the Flair Pro 2 allowed me to brew my espresso and really enjoy and understand the espresso-making process to a new level.

Vor ein paar Monaten konnte ich eine dieser kleinen Maschinen zusammen mit ihrem manuellen Mahlwerk ausprobieren, und ehrlich gesagt, übertraf sie alle meine Erwartungen. Deshalb möchte ich mit Ihnen meine Erfahrungen mit dieser erstaunlichen tragbaren Espressomaschine teilen. All five models have a similar aesthetic of smooth curves, almost resembling a sculpture. Design is a matter of preference, but I felt this was a showpiece for my counter, and I didn’t want to store it away between brews (Signature and Pro 2 models have copper-plated group heads that I felt were especially gorgeous). Using The Flair It takes time to get up to speed and dial in the perfect shot, but once you do that, you’ll have consistent espresso results. Value MAJOR BREWING UPGRADES – The Flair PRO 2 features three upgrades over Flair’s other manual espresso makers including a removable stainless steel spout, an enhanced all-stainless steel bottomless portafilter with improved flow dynamics, and a silicone lever grip for better brewing ergonomics.

You get a preheat cap with Pro models. This silicone lid easily slides onto the bottom of the brew head, so you can pour water into the cylinder — there’s no need to use the bowl as is the case with the more basic Flair espresso maker. The heating system only heats the brew head, not the water, so you still need a kettle. It has three temperature levels: 185, 194, and 203 degrees. You have to plug in the espresso machine, choose the temperature, and wait about five minutes for it to heat. You can use this time to grind the coffee and boil the water, so there’s essentially no additional waiting time. Each model has a base, a lever, and a brewing chamber which are easily disassembled for portability. Most Flair espresso devices have a cylinder with a water capacity of 60 ml, while the Flair 58 goes to 90 ml. You control the amount of pressure instead of a brew head. Cu Flair PRO 2 veți pregăti manual un espresso excelent. Fără compromisuri . Avantajele aparatului de Flair PRO2 Complicated use compared to automatic machines — You need to go through more steps compared to pressing a button and having an espresso.
