I need that stovetop milk steamer where can i buy one? Do you make those
R.E.D. steamer or similar from Indonesia and Thailand
@@FlairEspresso thank you
did you managed to get it?
@@TheArtArq If you also got it I would appreciate directions on where to look for it! Thanks c:
Much needed information thank you. Just bought a pro 2, absolute beast product💯. Love from INDIA.
Just got my Flair for my birthday! So glad I could find this video!
awesome! hopefully you found the rest of the classes
@@FlairEspresso I did! I pulled 7 or 8 shots today attempting to dial everything in and I have found some helpful information. I am still not to a great shot but this has been so much fun trying to get right! My wife is laughing at me along the way haha.
Wow, based on that setup, looks like getting a back to back shot is just the matter on how fast we can get the grind coffee ready. That's great.
So grind enough for all shots before getting started
One way to save time is to use Japanese style water boiler like ones by Zojirushi. It keeps water at a temperature you set and doesn't waste energy reboiling and is also insulated. I keep mine at 208 Fahrenheit just below boiling 212. I use it for lots of things.
Really appreciate this video 👍. I’ve just started using the flair signature pro to brew shots back to back in the morning for a friend of mine. I felt my workflow was so time consuming that i have to get up earlier. Thanks for the video!
Glad it helped!
I like this video, I like this guy and I like my Flair
I haven’t found any tool for cutting filterpapers for my PRO, do you have any tips? I know many use Chemex filter plus a circular cutting tool for 58mm but I can’t find any for our smaller porta
I got an awesome Flair 2. Learned so much from these videos. Where do I get the T Shirt? Also the "Bro, do you even Pull?" one?
the shirt in this video is from Clockwork Espresso. the other you can email service@flairespresso.com to receive the link to customink for printing yourself
If you do not have silicone funnel.. you can use your drip tray place it on top of you kettle and on top of it place your brew head😀 it works for me..
Thanks, good advice. Gonna try it when my Pro 2 arrives. I was also thinking to use a classic tea sifter over a kettle, fits perfectly.
I went uptown with the bottom tray from my 9 dollar Vietnamese coffee filter.
Hey, great video thanks! I just got my Flair Pro 2. I've been watched so many of your videos before, that the first shot was a thing of beauty! Thanks! I absolutely love my espresso. Best Ever! Quick question, to prepare 2 shots, you are using the paper filter to avoid some of the mess. Where do you get them? Are they 46mm? Thanks!
that's great to hear! EK Tools Circle Punch 1.75 in on Amazon and use whatever paper filters you have
What temp to I need to get the brew head up to? I have the stick on Flair thermometer and by placing the brew head on my kettle and covering the brew head with the silicone funnel (traps the steam) the thermometer shows at most 80 to 85 degrees C. Without the silicone funnel covering it doesn't get past 75. I then pour in water off the boil and the surface thermometer shows 85 to 90. By the time I've pressed (45 sec), its back down to 75. Am I close? If not any other tips? Thanks!
Please make a distribution tool for flairs.
these videos are so helpful especially for beginners like me where my Flair signature is my first espresso machine.
who makes that steamer?
R.E.D. Systems but you'll have an easier time finding the Bellman in NA
Thanks. I actually have a Bellman. I just suck at making latte foam. I can make a good cappuccino foam though.
Are you in the Brew With Flair group on Facebook? Lots of folks willing to help you breakthrough
@@FlairEspresso Do you know what types of steamers (preferably electric) are the easiest to find in Europe/Germany?
@@jackaw1197 Dualit cino, WPM
lol called out! I just think the “more tools = better spro” paradigm isn’t helpful for beginners
In the Socratic study, they did tamp in all cases with a push tamper, so the only variable was whether they used an OCD or not. The other thing that surprised me was the shots weren’t more consistent (shot time or extraction) with the distributor. Granted, a slightly lower extraction w/ a distributor compared to bad puck prep without one might still be preferred.
I think it's the other Jordan (Waitforit Bonaficio) that has been actively and consistently commenting this, but thanks for sharing these insights
where did he get that portable steamer?
Hey Andrew, I have my Flair Pro 2 on the way, and I went ahead and bought and additional portafilter+screen for easier back-to-back shots. Problem is, if both portafilters need to be preheated, how would one realistically go about doing that? I just seems to be easier to use the already used/heated portafilter, and quickly dry it off like you do.
If preheating the portafilter wasn't important, sure, I could see the benefit of having a second one (to grind and WDT prep them both at the same time, while the brew chamber heats up and the water boils), but I can't quite figure out how to include a second preheated portafilter into a streamlined workflow. Any ideas? Or is the second portafilter really just more inconvenience than actual use? Thanks for all the content and help that you put out!
due to the need to handle and prep the basket, you cannot preheat it all the way to brewing temperatures. few options:
1) heat them both up to a temperature that's comfortable for you, prep and pull back-to-back, trying to be quick about it using same cylinder and accept that the 2nd one will have lost some temp but likely marginally so.
2) pre-grind 2nd dose but use same basket (portafilter), preheated same each time.
3) skip preheating the basket altogether for parity and instead use water that was heated several degrees above desired brewing temp to accommodate for cooler component; experiment with temp loss in the system to determine how much above target you should start
@@FlairEspresso That's a really well-rounded, good answer - thank you so much! I will play around with each one and see which I prefer. Again, thank you!
hello, how big is that makeup jar? 50grams? 100grams?
Where do you go to follow along the q & a for these videos? Thanks.

Sorry if I missed it but what is the steam want you are using? Looks like it just fits a moka pot?
R.E.D. Systems and, yes, precisely what it looks like :)
Wow, how did you manage to pull the coffee out without having coffee pissing out mess from your brew head? I'm using Pro Signature and also have the same distribution fork like you had, leveled and tamped hard, but I'm just couldn't solve my channeling issue!
Join the owner's group, they'll get you pissing in the cup rather than spraying around it bit.ly/BrewWithFlair

what's the steamer your using Sir ?
Dear Andrew, thank you very much for die Video. I learned a lot. But two questions:
- Is there a spring loaded Tamper available to control der tamping pressure in this size?
- And what kind of a dose / roast do you recommend for my taste: high crema, not bitter and not sour, very sweet...
Greetings from Germany :-)
Normcore is releasing a v4 in 45.5mm soon. Stick to medium roast.
@@FlairEspresso Thank you for the answer :-)
You freeze espresso? What do you with it when you take it out of the freezer?
blended iced mocha
I have a neo myself but it's a pain to multiple shots with it due to the hot brew head. I personally just blow out the puck, although I know it's probably uncouth.
No judgement here
Hi Andrew,
I was wondering if there's any way to keep the water temp above 204 in the brew chamber. No matter how rigorously I preheat the brewing head and dispersion screen, it turns water down below 198 in 5-10 seconds of pouring
What's your preheat method?
Hi, Im also using the Royal Grinder and Ive noticed U grinded that coffee so much faster than me. Did U replace burr for some fast one?
we have in fact changed the geometry on the cone burr for future production
@@FlairEspresso nice, will there be an upgrade possibility or that will be exclusive to the new version? And will it have any other effects or just grind time?
You trade speed for exertion. Faster, more aggressive geometry might pose a challenge for those with lower hand strength wishing to grind light roasts/hard beans to an espresso fine. The option to purchase the newly designed cone burr will be available in time
@@FlairEspresso im mostly grinding 17g at a time so the current cone burr is ok, but if grinding quality will be at least as good I may buy the new one. I've noticed great upgrade in speed/grind consistency when I bought M2 burr for my Encore. But the most interesting part was the coffee taste change. Probably cutting profile has to do with it. Have U noticed any change with new Royal burr?
@@marcinwojcik6622 it's likely there's some small trade off between speed and uniform it Ybor, but we haven't noticed it in our cups as of yet.
What is that steam wand in the video!? I am looking for something like that.
RED Steamer from Indonesia
Would you recommend the pro 2 for people who want to sell coffee on a small scale? :)
58 for that
What's the name of the steamer??
Can I use a cut up v60 paper filter? Or any type for that matter?
Most paper filters will work perfectly if you can cut then down to fit snug
@@FlairEspresso perfect thank you! Will def try this out ! This saves money 😅😅
It's good to open a graphic program and draw a thin black circle of the required diameter, save to .pdf, print, cut out an use that for a template (just cut around it). You can stack two or more drip filters flat (depending on your scissors) and cut around. Used this when I couldn't get Aeropress papers locally to bridge the wait :)
will u give a link where to bring that red silicone??
www.amazon.com/KongNai-Silicone-Collapsible-Foldable-Transferring/dp/B07STBWMB7/
@@FlairEspresso thanks for the link and quick response.
It's possible to use Encore after a little mods ;) Then it works well.
What mods?
@@artemisfowlthe3 U can:
1. Replace burr with M2 cone burr.
It's much faster and the grind seems more consistent - but U can still use the standard burr. It will take more time to grind for espresso.
2. Make the grinder stepless. It's quite easy. After taking off the plastic case, I took out a little plastic element that makes the adjustment ring "click". To prevent the ring from moving while grinding wrapped the holder of that "clicking" element with 1,5mm thick silicone band and that gives a little resistance while changing grind size.
3. U can re-calibrate the grinder for a finer grind:

Hi could you make the Flair classic abit more available in Europe (Germany to be specific).
There is only one handler over here and they're asking 280€ for these and it's insane if you compare it to what they're supposed to cost.
I'd really like to try one out and pull good shots :-(
An unpainted silver verison of the Classic would also be cool.
what is the brand of the red funnel on the kettle?
www.amazon.com/dp/B08MVQ41JT
Where do I get the steamer from?
I also want to know!
R. E. D. Systems, Indonesia
@@FlairEspresso Thank you! I found their Instagram, and then a WhatsApp number! But they seem to be out of stock (or at least others said that they are not responding too often). I hope they get more mainstream and easier to get. They pair nicely with the Flairs c:
This is the instragram and number, If someone else's whants to know c: instagram.com/irawan.halim/
@@alemholas next year we hope to have our own ;)
where the heck is the pro 2 on amazon ?
coming soon ;)

R.E.D. Systems
@@FlairEspresso Thanks
What mug are you using?

Lightly tamp
yes indeed. all you need is to compress air pockets and stop when you feel the surface below pressing back... notice the table flexing here
You're going to drink the latte an put the espresso in the fridge for tomorrow. I'll admit I just bought the Pro 2
and new to espresso. Was this true or just a joke ?
No joke, and thanks for your recent purchase!
An Espresso would be fine in a latte, cappuccino etc. the next day.
Wat scale are u using?
Acaia
@@FlairEspresso Pyxis or Lunar?
None of the above. Cinco
What's the silicone insert for the stagg?
Food canning funnel
wait, you preheat the basket? That might be the thing I'm missing...
Two back to back shots in 57 minutes!
with a lot of talking in between ;)
Was going to buy one of these until I was customer service testimonials. Bummer
Imagine if we bought everything online solely based on other people's opinions. Bummer for you, that's for sure.
When I contacted them it was fine and the product. Don’t know what you read?
