This 2nd shot thin cylinder is just like the one that came with my recently purchased Flaire Classic. The only difference is the gauge. I actually like the bigger gauge that the classic comes with better because it’s easier to read. It’s a minor gripe I know but other than that this is perfect.

Keep up the good work, Flair ppl

Shipping was delayed due to the holiday and whether but Flair kept me up to date!

Great

Fast shipping

Shipping was perfect and came unharmed

I purchased the Flair Café Kettle shortly after my Flair Classic and it is extremely convenient. I am planning on buying a Preheat Funnel next, I currently warm the brew head by using the cap that was included and filling it with boiling water but the funnel will save time.

I've always wanted to have the espresso option in my home and now I have it. Very well constructed and easy to learn how to pull a nice shot. First few were good, but now I think I've got it down and it's better than I expected.

Straightforward purchase and reliable delivery albeit a little slow but every product I have recieved has exceeded expectations. Definitely worth the money.

All good!

I've never had a true home option to make espresso so I've never experimented with it. After finding the Flair and getting some recommendations from friends I decided to give it a try. After fine tuning it I've been getting better espresso then most coffee shops. If I'm out I usually get a latte because of disappointing espresso on it's own. The Flair Classic was easy to get the hang of and I was blown away by the quality.

I decided to treat myself to a Flair Classic (2025) version this Christmas, much to my wife's tepid approval (She's not a coffee drinker). I was skeptical of what I would get out of the machine, but paired with a relatively cheap hand-grinder (I own a KinGrinder K2)- I was able to consistently pull great shots of espresso that would rival my regular Cafe that carries a La Marzacco machine. Of course, there's a lot of work involved in dialing in, preheat, etc. , but once you are past the initial learning curve, you can consistently get great shots. Shipping was OK. Not too fast, not too slow. Flair's community posts and videos are pretty useful. Some minor complaints: 1. The stock dispersion screen gets too many grounds stuck inside of it. I recommend a toothbrush to clean or just getting a different dispersion screen. 2. The no-preheat brew-head definitely needs preheating for anything that is not a super dark roast. The claim is clearly oversold. 3. The pressure gauge leaves a lot to be desired. I think Flair should have kept this pressure gauge for Neo Flex, and should have given the bigger gauge with the classic (or at least provide the option at purchase for ~$10 or something). Some tips: 1. Use a water spritzer and a WDT tool. This produces a deeper puck, and can definitely benefit from better distribution/lower static. 2. Use your selfie phone camera as a shot mirror by slanting it against something sturdy. 3. Remove the bottom of the Red-pressurized portafilter to get a "second" almost bottomless portafilter, which you can use to pull two shots back to back. My wife who hates the taste of coffee, gave this system a thumbs up by saying "It's not bitter!". I consider this a Dub.

Good!

Pretty nifty, great for a beginner

Originally purchased the Flair Pro 3 but wasn’t super impressed with the build quality. This feels completely different, and is certainly an upgrade. Super easy to use once you get the hang of it. Portable enough to allow me to brew espresso in the campsite as well.

Great!

thumbs up

Flair Espresso has great products and I think my espresso game has been elevated because of it! Very happy with the purchasing experience, quality packaging (protecting products). Would highly recommend!

From the start the staff and their communication with me was Paramount and me making my decision whether to purchase this product or not. In the past I have fallen for very bad companies like meticulous, Zerno & Flair have restored my faith in the coffee community both have incredibly dialed in customer service !

Shipping was faster than expected.
