When choosing my first 58mm compatible espresso machine, I settled on going the full-manual route with the Flair 58+, and I'm glad I made that decision. Few entry-level 58mm portafilter espresso machines out there (if any) allow you the same control of almost every variable in the brew process compared to the Flair 58 lineup of espresso makers. Having that control allowed me to quickly learn how changes in each variable can affect the final espresso results in your cup. You may lose out on having the ability to make milk based drinks with a built-in steam wand, but I prefer pure shots of espresso, and I eventually rectified that shortcoming anyway when I later purchased a NanoFoamer Pro from Subminimal.

Its build quality, design, and presence on any countertop also makes a great conversation piece for guests. Almost everyone who has been in my kitchen can't help, but want to try pulling an espresso shot of their own after seeing it. Even though this is my first 58mm compatible espresso maker, I can easily see it being my end game espresso maker as well, and simply upgrade my grinder over time. Even though there are plenty of more expensive machines out there that can automate and streamline your workflow, I find the manual workflow experience to be almost therapeutic. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn or a pro adding to a collection, I imagine that few people would regret purchasing any espresso maker in the Flair 58 lineup!

The Flair 58+ is my first home espresso machine. I know enough about coffee and how to pull a shot, but didn’t have a lot of experience when I started using the Flair. This is to emphasize how easy is to use and to tell you, reader, not to be scared of trying it. It definitely has a learning curve, but it’s not steep and in a couple of tries one can start pulling good shots with the 58. Definitely has a lot that can be learnt over years of practice, specially if one is sensitive to coffee quality, pressure profiles and the like, but the good thing is that the 58+ is fully prepared to make those shots. The heater helps a lot with temperature control, and the ability to control the pressure while seeing the shot using the articulate mirror helps adjust in the process ... MoreThe Flair 58+ is my first home espresso machine.

The build quality is also excellent, and the additional aesthetic touches give it a premium feeling that I really love. I definitely recommend going for the 58+ if you can afford it, as the accessories (the extra filter basket, mirror and aesthetics) are worth the extra money over the 58. If temperature control is not that important, then it might be better to go for the 58x, which later can be upgraded with the heating element.

I love the Flair 58+! This is my first ever espresso machine and I am beyond happy with my purchase. Being a new espresso experimentalist, a bit of a masochist, and someone who prefers to buy quality over quantity I feel that the Flair 58+ was an excellent choice. There is so much to learn when it comes to espresso (e.g. grind size, roast profile, shot ratio, infusion/pre-infusion time, temperature management, pressure profile, and on and on) and the 58+ allows you to control many of these essential parameters. I particularly like the ability to play with different pressure profiles and feel this adds for a lot of customization in each shot. The 58+ really allows you the ability to play with pressure throughout the entirety of the shot pull (a feature I feel is lost ... MoreI love the Flair 58+!

The 58+ really allows you the ability to play with pressure throughout the entirety of the shot pull (a feature I feel is lost in semi-auto and auto machines).If I could change one thing it would be the brew head. Nothing major, but maybe some updates in future designs will allow for more volume of water to be held without having to fill it to the brim. I’ve just had a few minor spills, but nothing to takeaway from all the other positives of this amazing piece of equipment.AND… IT’S PORTABLE!!! Can’t wait to bring this on adventures in a converted van and have amazing coffee on all future road trips.Note: I’m only rating my espresso quality as “Okay” because I am a total beginner and have a lot to learn. This is not a reflection on the Flair 58+ capabilities.
I really like my Flair 58+, putting it together is easy and it looks lovely on the counter. The extra gaskets it comes with are also appreciated. At first I was really worried because my first two shots came out awful, the flow rate was super fast and under-extracted. But then I tried a finer grind and things improved drastically. Fresher coffee improved my shots further, and a slight pre-infusion of about 5-8 seconds (just apply a light pressure about 1-2 bar until you see specks of espresso begin to peek from the basket, then pause for 5-8 seconds, then continue with the pull) really took things to the next level.I love that I can pour my hot water into the brew chamber and see the exact temperature it's at before hitting my puck.

I also really enjoy being able to manually change my brew pressure throughout the pull, taking advantage of a decreasing pressure gradient that would cost thousands on a semi-automatic. Cleanup is a breeze, just rinsing out the basket and drip tray and wiping down any splashes on the machine if needed. Warm-up time is fast too, only a few minutes compared to 15-20 for larger machines.In short, if you love to experiment with your espresso brewing process, you need to be able to exactly monitor and control your pressure and water temperature. You can either spend thousands and troubleshoot your OPV, PID, Scace, descaling, etc or you can get the Flair 58+ and connect with the process much more directly.Since I have to mention this, yes, the temperature control button on the cord looks cheap and I wish it were better, same as everyone else. In a perfect world, I'd love to see a revision with more granular controls and a nicer look/feel. At any rate, it does the job it's supposed to do and the actual brew temperature is much more influenced by the temperature of the water you add to the brew chamber than anything else. A temperature-controlled electric kettle with a long pour spout is your Flair's best friend.
Exactly as advertised. Within 2 tries, you get how you dial your coffee as you like it. I purchased it because I didn't want to deal with high maintenance machines, but was worried about performance. However, it performs as great as any espresso machine from a coffe shop. My wife is used to working with manual stuff, yet it took her only three tries to get it right. Would definitely recommend it for beginners and experienced home baristas. While assembly is easy (only 2 screws at the base), I find it easier to bring it as it is with me when I visit family member next town. The travel box is great and I use it to put all other tools and coffee beans. The build quality is fantastic, if you're OCD like me you may see slight miss alignment of the handle on the base logo ... MoreExactly as advertised.

The travel box is great and I use it to put all other tools and coffee beans. The build quality is fantastic, if you're OCD like me you may see slight miss alignment of the handle on the base logo (doesn't center exactly), but it doesn't affect performance. Reading the manual was useful, especially the point about making sure that the water champer is secured (becomes secure when the logo is facing you, so that easy to notice). That last point I learned is important on my first try as I was excited and didn't notice it was open a little, so when pressure went up, it completely open. At first I thought it would be dangerous because of the hot water, then I realized that the water only came from the side and down, but not up and on the face because the piston block it. That was a relief and great to learn early on.
I really like this entire process. Not for everyone, but it is for me and my household.Overall, quality work all around. I wasn't expecting so much play with the handle and the piston. From what I gather, that's normal and doesn't negatively impact operation.My first 15 shots were horrendous and all over the place. After watching at least six different tutorials from multiple sources, my shot quality improved markedly. Now, even with inexpensive beans, I'm pulling shots better than I can buy from most shops.This isn't what James or others do, I think, but this is how I pull long shots with consistent quality:1) Let the 58+ heat up to level 3 (it will beep loudly).2) 0.5-1.5 level grind with a Baratza Encore.3) 19.0 grams in the basket.4) Smooth, tamp, and add ... MoreI really like this entire process.

(If the handle doesn't automatically start dropping, then I have confidence in my grind size and tamping.)10) I like a full extraction, so sometimes I let it rest for at least 15 seconds. At this point, sometimes I pull down ever so slowly until I see drops from the center of the puck. Other times I pull a little bit harder and faster until the center drips. And then I pull up to 9 bars. The great thing about the Flair is that you can completely vary your downstroke pressure, so have at it. Remember it will continue to release espresso until you pull up on the handle.I've pulled shots with machines for about ten years now. After one week with the 58+, I don't miss them one bit. They're already cleaned and in the closet.
I have had my flair 58+ for a few weeks now. My previous machine was a Gaggia Carezza. I have really enjoyed learning the work flow of the flair and “feeling” the pressure needed to produce espresso. The case I purchased with the machine is great and the accessories that came with the 58+ have allowed me to hit the ground running immediately without the need to purchase a proper tamper or a pressure gage. I did buy a flair scale knowing the space inside the base was limited and flair would sell a scale made to fit there.Ok, so for the nits… these are all nice to haves and not deal breakers by any means. Consider these as improvements for the next generation:The shots I’m pulling tend to draw from the print of the portafilter.

Consider these as improvements for the next generation:The shots I’m pulling tend to draw from the print of the portafilter. This is a little strange to me and from googling it is a normal effect from the frame flexing. Some of it could be a more level working area, but it did come up when I googled so it’s probably not just a me problem. So, flair, consider beefing up the frame! I have also wanted it to be a little heavier so it doesn’t slide around so easily. I would guess that most folks using the 58 aren’t as interested in a hyper portable design.My other nit is about the guidance for pulling shots. One of the selling points for the flair is that it is manual and thus allows lots of control over pressure and temperature. I could have benefited from some more guidance or even just things to try for pressure profiling and water temperatures. I have my flair paired with a bonavita and can dial in the water temp and have been playing with it some, but having some suggestions with the unit would be great and a helpful guide for roast levels similar to the “group head” heater.Obviously there’s lots of youtube videos out there to look at (and I have) but it always a pleasant experience seeing a well packaged product that comes with wisdom in the box!
I am a total beginner to making my own espresso, so there has been a somewhat steep learning curve for me. I was also surprised at just how physical the extraction process is. As I spend more time with it, it gets easier and easier, and overall I am happy with the product. The one thing I would change is the electronic controller and the addition of a built in timer. I hide the controller because it isn't very attractive/meaningful, but because I hide it I have accidently left the unit on for extended periods of time which was unsettling to discover later.I think if the controller was mounted to the side with a nice LED screen or a more sleek controller so that I see the light on the unit after I am done with brewing it could be really nice and still maintain the ... MoreI am a total beginner to making my own espresso, so there has been a somewhat steep learning curve for me.

I am glad that I got this as my first espresso machine; I don't love lattes so I don't really miss the steam wand and may get a stove top version in the future.
I love my flair. It is beautiful. There are two minor (VERY minor) issues I’ve had and one note:1) the flat wall basket originally kept sliding out when trying to remove the spent puck. I reached out to customer service and they told me about the wire in the portafilter you can squeeze to tighten it. This fixed the problem completely.2) the inner chamber has this notch so you can take the plunger with the pressure gauge out. Weirdly, the chamber keeps turning slightly whenever I lock the portafilter in, causing the plunger, on two occasions so far, to line up with the notch and pop out. It’s a bit of an annoyance, but a quick fix.My last note is that, as a beginner, this takes practice. I burned through a bag of coffee my first day with it without making a good ... MoreI love my flair. It is beautiful.

I have found what works best for me is about a 0.4.2 on my x-pro for a 6-bar turbo shot in the high flow basket with about a 1:3.5 ratio. That is 8 steps finer than the grinder recommends for espresso and it’s still too course to do a traditional shot.That being said, I’m so glad I bought my flair and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys that tinkering aspect of coffee.
