Lever espresso machine FLAIR ESPRESSO Flair 58 Plus

Flair 58 Plus lever espresso machine

The ++ version of the Flair 58

The Flair 58 is a reference in the world of lever coffee machines, with the Flair 58 Plus, the Flair Espresso brand offers a more high-end model, for those who really want to treat themselves.

Its black die-cast aluminum frame is enhanced with dark walnut wood accents on the portafilter, T-handle, and flat tamper.

The Flair 58+ was designed with dark pattern screws, for added elegance.

The articulated mirror included attaches magnetically to the stand, so you can observe your extraction more easily.

This machine features two filters, high and low flow, to give home baristas all the control they need.

The electronic preheating system of the Flair 58+ lever machine integrates three distinct levels: low, medium, and high, which correspond approximately to the extraction temperatures required for dark, medium, and light roasts respectively.

For travelers, the Flair 58 Plus is equipped with an easily removable preheating controller, allowing you to use the machine without the electrical part and prepare espresso anywhere.

The Flair 58 Plus delivers in-cup quality results, with the experience of manually preparing your own espresso.

Flair 58 Plus features

The Flair 58 Plus is a lever espresso machine: it's up to you to apply the right pressure, with an appropriate grind, to achieve a good in-cup result.

The elongated lever facilitates use at higher pressures, with a T-shaped handle for more comfort and control.

The robust pressure gauge in stainless steel will help you find the right pressure. It is surrounded by a silicone protection.

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

The electronic temperature regulator allows you to preheat the brew group and maintain thermal stability.

This regulator also helps maintain the brew group heat between extractions and thus pull espressi more quickly.

Note : the temperature regulator is designed to preheat the group and maintain heat, but it will not heat your water. You must always use hot water to fill the brew group.

- A specialized espresso grinder to ensure a regular and precise grind.

- A temperature-adjustable kettle to have more or less hot water depending on the roast level of your coffee.

- A precision scale: to obtain reproducible results, your inputs and outputs must be quantified. This concerns the coffee dose in the filter as well as the flow time into your cup.
