The Flair 58 Plus 2. Your Questions Answered.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 is the new flagship from Flair Espresso, a manual lever espresso maker that provides full control over all brewing variables in a small countertop footprint.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 includes everything from the Flair 58 Family, like an integrated pressure gauge, 58mm portafilter, and preheat controller, while adding three key upgrades:
- Upgrade 1: The preheat system controller has been embedded into the base of the Flair 58 Plus 2 for seamless control
- Upgrade 2: The power supply has been significantly reduced in size
- Upgrade 3: The wiring on the Flair 58 Plus 2 has been streamlined for ease of useÂ
The preheat system on the Flair 58 Plus 2 still includes three different levels: low, medium and high, which roughly correlate to brewing temperatures needed for dark, medium and light roasts respectively. And, if you’re feeling the travel itch, the 58 Plus 2 easily unplugs to brew espresso without any wires.
Finally, with the featured valve plunger the workflow on the Flair 58 Plus 2 is unrivaled, ensuring that if you’re brewing for yourself or your friends and family, one shot or multiple, the Flair 58 Plus 2 will delight with the ease and simplicity of creating delicious espresso.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 is a barista level espresso machine, capable of creating and re-creating your favorite recipes from any coffee you own. As such, the 58 Plus 2 requires a full brewing kit of accessories to ensure top performance.
At a minimum, brewers with the Flair 58 Plus 2 must have:
- Espresso capable, high-quality burr grinder – Brewing espresso on the Flair 58 Plus 2 is a work of art and science. It’s impossible to dial-in your espresso extraction with inconsistent grounds. As such, it’s required to have an espresso-capable burr grinder to use with your 58 Plus 2. Expect to spend at least $150 and look for a unit with stepless grind sizing.
- High-quality kettle – While a temperature controlled kettle is not required for brewing with the Flair 58 Plus 2, it will definitely make your workflow and experience more enjoyable. At a minimum, target a kettle with a thermometer so you can be precise with your thermal inputs.
- Digital Scale – Any scale will do, but for repeatable results, both your inputs and outputs should be measured. This includes for dosing your beans, measuring the output in your cup as well as flow rate.
