Flair 58 Espresso Maker

Yes, the Flair 58 does not have an integrated grinder. You will need a high-quality burr grinder capable of producing a fine, consistent espresso grind to achieve the best results.

The preheat controller allows you to set the brew head to one of three temperature levels. This ensures the metal is properly heated before you pull your shot, which is essential for thermal stability and consistent extraction.

No, the Flair 58 is a manual espresso maker designed strictly for pulling espresso shots. You will need a separate milk frother or steam wand if you plan to make lattes or cappuccinos.

The 58mm portafilter is the industry standard for commercial espresso machines. This size gives you broad compatibility with third-party accessories like precision baskets, tampers, and distribution tools.

The machine is designed for low maintenance. Because it is a manual lever system with no internal pumps or complex plumbing, you simply need to rinse the portafilter and wipe down the brew head after each use.

The Flair 58 is designed for a dose between 16 and 20 grams of coffee. This range is ideal for standard double shots and provides enough headspace for the puck screen.
