FLAIR ESPRESSO 58 Electric Lever Espresso Maker

Flair 58 lever espresso machine

Flair 58: a unique espresso machine

Since its launch, the Flair 58 has established itself as a reference in the world of lever coffee machines

With its black die-cast aluminum frame and wood accents, the Flair 58 is a beautiful machine that will delight espresso lovers.

Flair has also listened to its customers to bring improvements over time. This is the latest model fresh from the factory.

This Flair 58 machine features the very latest piston, an angled connector to minimize cables and a removable temperature control system, to switch to non-electric mode if needed.

The rod that pushes the piston is attached to the lever system: no need to remember to manually reset the piston before the next extraction!

When you have made your espresso and raised the lever, the piston resets to position directly.

A location has been provided on the machine frame to add the articulated mirror that will help you visualize your bottomless extractions properly.

You can extract your espressos like professionals, with a real 58 mm bottomless portafilter in stainless steel with a wooden handle.

This portafilter will also allow you to use your favorite barista accessories with your Flair 58 (competition filters, tampers or grind distributors) compatible with a 58 mm diameter.

Its new lever is elongated to facilitate use during higher pressures, with a T-shaped handle for more comfort and control.

With its stainless steel components, the Flair 58 lever machine promises an extraction of your espresso without any contact with plastic.

Other features of the Flair 58

The Flair 58 espresso machine is equipped with a robust pressure gauge in stainless steel surrounded by a silicone protection.

This pressure gauge will allow you to control the manual extraction: the needle indicates the pressure and the threshold not to exceed. It's up to you to adjust your gesture (without exceeding 9 bars for the perfect espresso!). You can also play with pre-infusion to reveal even more aromas.

The strong point of this Flair 58 lever machine is the electronic temperature regulator that allows you to preheat the extraction group and maintain thermal stability.

This regulator also helps maintain the heat of the group between extractions and therefore allows you to chain espressos more quickly.

Three temperature thresholds indicated by 3 green lights:

- 1 green light = low temperature (85°C)

- 2 green lights = intermediate temperature (90°C)

- 3 green lights = highest temperature (95°C)

Allow approximately five minutes to reach maximum temperature.

Warning: the temperature regulator is used to preheat the group and maintain heat, it does not heat water. Always use hot water to fill the brew group.
