Here is a little trick when pulling shots w/the Flair: When beginning your pull, start with a Very light pressure on the lever. Keep it light until the very first drop of coffee releases from the portafilter, then increase the pressure to 6 to 9 bars for “espresso” on the gauge. Keep it steady as you pull. That helps the espresso to stream from the center of the bottom screen. mm, deelish.
I love, love, love my Flair Pro 2. I am all in with espresso and have been seriously blown away by the ELITE quality of the espresso I pull with this machine. Dialing in with my semiautomatic Gaggia took hours and hours. I have been repeatedly "spot on" with the Flair after a few tries. Many shots are better than anything I have ever tasted anywhere in 45+ years. I am giddy with delight over this machine. I am not sponsored. Like others, I love the machine and want others to know that it is as exceptional as others have said.
I got one of these for the holidays last year and I use it daily. It's been a godsend in Quarantine and I am so glad I got one. They're a bit intimidating at first but they're wonderful once you get into the swing of things. Definitely reccomend!
I just recently got the Flair Pro 2 on their Black Friday sale and I've been loving it. I little trick (which you've probably figured out by now) is that if your on the shorter side, it's best to put the Flair on a shorter surface. When you go to press on it, keep your arms close to your chest and just hinge at the waist to let your gravity do the work (leaning your whole upper body down on the handle) instead of having to use your arms to force the lever down. It makes it a lot less of a physical exercise.
@@Noideakids I was going to respond to this with something along the lines of "Are you serious? That was a year ago." Then I remembered I ordered it on Amazon so I could easily look up my order. Mine was $260 for the Flair Pro 2 (white).
This seems perfect for selling coffee at a farmers market or Renaissance fair. Anywhere outdoors where you may not have an outlet, and where you can show off this unique process
I tried affogato for the first time a few weeks ago, after getting a Flair Classic. I was absolutely blown away, definitely a great dessert (and a fun machine!).
Congratulations on 100,000 viewers! Did the math, this will be cost effective for us in just four months of use, so it’s next on our list of shelter in place device’s. Glad you are back and great news on graduation and engagement, all the best to you.
I’ve had a Flair for 2 years. I luv it. Best espresso in town, and this is Portland, is at my apartment. ...and, yes, Morgan, for these machines, different beans, usually a different grind. A slight adjustment, anyhow. I recommend holding the base with one hand while pulling to keep it steady. Love your vids! . . .you funny. ..Stay safe.
Great video! I absolutely love my Flair. I've been using it to make delicious Americanos almost daily for about six months. I really like how you can alter so many aspects of the pull, to dial in your perfect shot of espresso. It is also super easy to clean! (This is not a sponsored comment. I just really like this product.)
i need to stop watching these at like 2am cuz now i need to go make an espresso on top of a freaking ice cream......d*amn i will never be able to sleep like this...
Well thanks to TH-cam that recommended me this video I just discovered your channel, and as a barista and coffee lover I'm already subscribed!! That Flair Pro seems to be a really great choice to make espressos at home!! (Now I'm gonna watch the rest of your videos!) Greetings from Spain! ❤️☕️
I totally get that this comment is satire, but the idea is that this manual machine makes espresso that punches well above it's weight, comparable to automatic machines that cost much more.
Based on oxford dictionaries, machine is "a piece of equipment with many parts that work together to do a particular task. The power used to work a machine may be electricity, steam, gas, etc. or human power." So Flair and other brands for making espresso is a machine :)
Having an Acaia Lunar scale, it is worth monitoring not only the pressure on the manometer (quite approximate), but also (mainly) the flow rate (1.5 ml per second), which makes it possible to make these scales perfectly.
Yknow, when I learned how to use an espresso coffee machine in my first part time job 3 years ago, I didn't think I would end this far down the coffee rabbit hole but I am HERE FOR IT
I'm blown away by the pressure gauge! 🤯🤯🤓 Always thought manual espresso makers should have an easy way to achieve consistent results! Also, pun intended!
Thanks for this video! I wanted to share a couple of suggestions from my workflow. I've been pre-heating the entire brewing setup (the cylinder, the dispersion screen and the basket) atop the lower chamber of a moka pot. I fill the lower chamber of the mokta pot with water, stack the components in the order listed, and let it heat on the stove (I'm guessing for about 5 minutes) before I come back to dose and grind the coffee. The purpose is to get the brewing chamber as hot as you would expect it to be if you were making espresso with an espresso machine that has a pump. I've actually ended up with a 14g dose, and I extract 40g of espresso from that. Be sure to dry the basket before you fill it with the ground coffee if you're heating it in the manner I describe. Ditto for the dispersion screen. You can have some fun and get creative with the recipe when you're pulling your shot. My current recipe is as follows: I pre-infuse at about 1.5 bar, until the bottom of the basket is saturated. I start the extraction at about 3 bar, for maybe 10 seconds. I then ramp up to about 6-7 bar and extract until I have about 28g. I ramp back down to 3 bar to finish. If you pair your Acaia scale with the Smart Espresso Profiler app on an iPad or phone, you can visualize the flow. If you used the Smart Espresso Profiler pressure gauge (in place of the one that comes with the Flair), you can also capture the pressure, but there is value also in just capturing the flow. Thanks again!
heyya, would you consider making a 'coffee basics' video just basically showing/explaining what makes up common drinks etc. not entirely sure how well that would work/fit into the channel but i think it would be nice
I'm a bit late to the party, and I'm sure it's been pointed out, but if you skip to 2:54 in the video, you can clearly see a lump of coffee. To avoid potential channeling, consider using a WDT tool
For about 8 seconds I thought this was going to be a good, inexpensive way to make espresso. Then I see $309... Sad Face. Edit: I see there is a really well priced, less fancy option on their site. Happy face!
They even made a machine for pre-ground coffee you find everywhere in supermarkets, called Flair NEO. The machine which Morgan used in this video is their highest-end machine. Flair really has made various machines for various users. There's even a Facebook group which we constantly help each other dial in their best espresso too! Note: I'm not affiliated, paid, or sponsored by flair, I just love the machine.
If you'll cross therelaxingend with a news channel this is the result? But for coffee? Don't get me wrong, I REALLY liked this video! And now I'll go out to my kitchen and make coffee, even the clock is past after sleep-time 💙
I have my Flair Pro 2, Its my first espresso machine (manual) and my issue is the grinder. You need a good grinder or at least the grind is finer and depending on the beans. But i can say that this thing can pull much better shot than any coffee machine in this price range and comparable to some expensive machine. Dial in is the hard thing on this one but once you get there. Anything is possible.
James Hoffman vid: free course on coffee science and industrial design, constantly wonder if you would be able to tell a difference Morgan vid: AAAAAAAAAA coffee beats to study/relax to, lets have a cookie and fun (both are good tho, for different moods and content, its just that both reviewed the Flair pro and this is the feel I got lmao)
Dang, I have to buy another espresso maker now? I have the areopress and it was nice but this looks much better. My coffee bar at home is overwhelming now. I have a kuerig, a pour over, and drip mr coffee, and French press, aero press, and Delonghi espresso maker. I loved the routine of the areopress so I guess I’ll love this even better. The delonghi I use the most because of its quick convenience and quality.
i don't even drink coffee, but i can't escape her wholesomeness
Same haha I literally only drink tea. I’m here for the AESTHETIC
I want to see her fight that pretentious espresso guy James Hoffman.
I got $20 that says Morgan wins by KO.

Thanks for doing this video! I've been looking at the Flair for a while and this has me seriously thinking about one instead of a used Breville.
I just found your channel yesterday & I'm already obsessed.
its so sweet the way you bring it on
Doing some research on this machine for a friend. Really nice presentation. Also, a bald dude, Im super jealous of your hair.
2nd of your videos I've watched this evening, and now I'm addicted to you. Subscribed.
How to make espresso without a machine. Step one: Use this machine.
well at least its cheaper than a full on restaurant espresso machine
I totally get that this comment is satire, but the idea is that this manual machine makes espresso that punches well above it's weight, comparable to automatic machines that cost much more.
In this case, the coffee is the machine.... or it is the hand that moves it?
Based on oxford dictionaries, machine is "a piece of equipment with many parts that work together to do a particular task. The power used to work a machine may be electricity, steam, gas, etc. or human power."
So Flair and other brands for making espresso is a machine :)
Akbar Garniadi perhaps based on exact definition, but terms vary between industries :)
This video inspired me to buy a flair classic. Thanks for the awesome review!
I have never been this early omg. you've literally inspired me so much
Congratulations on 100k 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎁🎊🎁🎊🎁🎉🎊🎁🎉
Congratulations Morgan.
I love your videos.
Keep reviewing more and keep making more videos.
Tried & True south town! I miss seeing my local coffee shop in your videos.
Congratulations on the TH-cam button, the Espresso Flair PRO 2 machine is great,
Aaahhh glad you’re backkkkkkkk
my fav coffee reviewer on yt
The "afogado" my typical Sunday summer after lunch desert, it is so good with stracciatella ice cream and a little of cognac, so good.
The music at 3:23 caught me off guard. BWAAAH BWAH BWAH BWAH. Love it.
Having an Acaia Lunar scale, it is worth monitoring not only the pressure on the manometer (quite approximate), but also (mainly) the flow rate (1.5 ml per second), which makes it possible to make these scales perfectly.
Congrats on the 100,000 subs! I just subscribed so I’m looking forward to more videos from you :)
This is such a great video! And it got me looking into the Flair Pro 2. And I bought it! Will be delivered today. Thank you so much.
Congratulations! On your new shining TH-cam Button.
I just got the NEO for my birthday and I'm in love with it! No bells and whistles yet but I'm sure that's later down the road☺️
Congrats For Reaching 100k Subscribers 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I do ice cream espresso in years I just love it
I love reviews, machines, coffee, capsules, anything. Please do more if you like them also.
Congrats on the 100k!!!!… or 800k. Same thing right? Haha. I bet you didn’t think you’d hit it 8x in a year and however long. Crazy!!
The moment the espresso was poured on the ice cream, I was like ''mhmm, so good.''
ohh I remember this lever looking espresso machine from Peaceful Cuisine months before.. or maybe a year idk but the extraction looked good!
This video was adorable. Subbed and liked!
When I watch your videos I start craving coffee🤤🤤🤤🤤
I'm blown away by the pressure gauge! 🤯🤯🤓 Always thought manual espresso makers should have an easy way to achieve consistent results! Also, pun intended!
