- EASY TO CLEAN & PORTABLE – The Flair Espresso Maker is the only manual espresso maker with a completely patented, detachable brewing head. This design allows for users to completely remove the brewing head, separate the parts, and rinse under cool water. This design also means the Flair PRO 3 can pack into an included, precision cut carrying case, meaning you can take your espresso anywhere you’d like.
- BUILT TO LAST –Â The Flair PRO 3 is made from durable materials like cast aluminum and stainless steel, so you can be sure your manual espresso maker, by Flair, is built to last. Both the aluminum press stand and the stainless steel brewing head are backed by a 5-year warranty.
As a fully capable espresso machine, the Flair PRO 3 requires freshly roasted beans, a kettle that can boil water, and most importantly, a high-quality, espresso capable burr grinder. Expect to pay at least $100 dollars to ensure the level of quality needed. Flair recommends our Royal hand grinder, linked here >
In addition, home-brewers should consider using a dosing scale to weigh their beans to ensure consistency and to measure output. Flair’s own Brew Scale is a wonderful, and affordable option. Linked here>
