HANDCRAFT SHOTS OF ESPRESSO – The Flair PRO 3 is a 100% human-powered, manual espresso press. With the Flair Espresso Maker, 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.
COMPLETE BREW CONTROL – The Flair PRO 3 features a custom pressure gauge with an Espresso Zone between 6-9 BAR, exactly that needed to create cafe-quality manual espresso extractions.

Expensive, but honestly? Worth it.
Let’s get the bad outta the way… What do I not like?It was expensive when I bought it at $275, and even more so now that it jumped by $50 to $325!It’s super time consuming, and you’d benefit from having a second brew chamber. That’s mostly where it ends tho.The build quality is excellent. All machined Aluminum and stainless steel. It’s a little wobbly tho. Not because of the quality itself, but because of the stability. That could easily be addressed by the manufacturer, or maybe a third party developer.It makes a STELLAR shot of REAL Espresso. Not that half hearted stuff like the Aeropress, or the Nespresso, for which I still both like. It’s because of those two machines that inspired me to go legit.The process of using an analog machine challenges you to be artistic, and to master the process and art of Espresso. Serving someone a cup of Coffee that you had absolute control over, is gratifying.This thing is a blast, the build quality is to be admired, and the espresso itself is outstanding. If you’re an artist, a fan of the hands on approach, and want an authentic shot.. This is one of only a few good choices.Yes, buy it.

Fun to use and delicious.
The stand is more sturdy and hefty than I expected, but being cast aluminum it does have it’s limitations. The dosing cup and funnel are perfectly sized and make it easy to prep the puck. The cylinder and piston are very well built. After just a couple tries with grind and tamp I was pulling perfect, flavourful shots. I love my local boutique baristas, but I get a higher quality latte at home with this machine than they provide with the high dollar commercial machine … probably because it is my own and made with love.The ergonomics of the handle is not ideal for me. I’m 6’2″ and working at a 36″ counter. It may work better for me on a 30″ tall surface.This device is well worth the money and makes delicious espresso. It is fun to use as well. The weakest link is the cast aluminum and more particularly the connecting pieces, but paying attention to how much force is applied and taking care to apply force in the right direction will keep this machine making espresso for many years.

Zunächst…wer braucht beim Camping einen Espresso ? ..Ich.Meine Mühle ist eine : Eureka specialita (zu Hause) ,weil: eine gute Mühle ist sehr wichtig (sehr feines Kaffepulver) . Wenn man ganz auf Handbetrieb angewiesen ist lohnt sich eine teure Spitzenmühle zum Kurbeln , da bitte nicht sparen ! Und: nehmt KEINEN Kaffee! Kauft einen guten Espresso vom Röster! Das Handling ist nach Gewöhnung super easy. ca 12 gramm Pulver eingefüllt und mit ca10 bar (wird auf dem mitgelieferten Manometer angezeigt) einen wirklich grandiosen Espresso gepresst. Crema, Farbe, Durchlaufzeit …alles wie im Bilderbuch. Vorwärmen des Brühkopfes mit heissem Wasser ist sehr wichtig.ABER : man muss ganz schön kräftig drücken ! Das Ding muss auf festem Boden stehen.Reinigung ist etwas mehr Fummelkram als beim grossen Siebträgergerät aber akzeptabel, da das Gerät nur aus wenigen Einzelteilen besteht.Die Verarbeitung ist sehr solide , aus Edelstahl! Mit Plastik kommt der Kaffee nicht in Berührung ! Nach meinen jahrelangen Handpresso Erfahrungen ist dieses Gerät zwar teuer aber ein echter Hit. Auch und gerade im outdoor Betrieb. Die Flair wird im robusten hardcase Koffer geliefert, kann aber auch easy in wenige Einzelteile zerlegt im Rucksack verpackt werden. Der Fuss ist zerlegbar mit einer Schraube. Macht aber auch in der Küche als “standalone” was her. Ich habe schon viele mobile Espressogeräte ausprobiert , dieses funktioniert .

Pretty simple to set up, very easy and quite fun to use, exceptionally good espresso.I used UK company Pumphreys, Mocha Roast, that I ground very finely, for my first cup.I donât ordinarily weigh coffee but followed Flairâs guidelines and put in 17g. The espresso I got was exceptional in taste and the all important crema was perfect.I really like this machine. The fact that it is manually operated makes it satisfying and more interesting to use. It also looks great on a work top and is top notch, build quality wise, itâs also a lot more compact than I thought it would be.The carrying case that comes with it means that itâs portable and the supplied tamper is high quality too.I probably shouldnât have had three cups of espresso this late in the evening but Iâll have another in the morning to pull me around from whatâs likely to be a very small amount of sleep tonight.Also, it arrived one week early (imported from the USA) which was great.Really pleased i decided to buy this. Itâs perfect.
