Quisiera agradecer la honestidad de la marca Flair Espresso, ya que no se guardan nada e inclusive recomiendan marcas ajenas a la suya, pocas veces se ve esta sinceridad en el mercado ya que, las marcas, al publicitar sus productos omiten deliberadamente los de la competencia en beneficio de los propios, lo cual se comprende. Sin embargo, ustedes no tienen empacho alguno al recomendar productos ajenos a los suyos. Esto habla muy bien de ustedes y de la seguridad que tienen en sus productos, lo cual añade valor a la marca. Nuevamente felicidades y gracias.
Its great to see a presentation like this with an experienced professional who knows their stuff. Great job!
I love my Neo, glad I could catch this class! Super informative.
What is that distributor tool that you’re using? I’m interested in getting something like it
Oh I just got to the part of the video where it’s mentioned that it’s just a cork with 4mm acupuncture needles. Got it!
Indeed it is!
I bought one yesterday and I can’t wait to make coffee with it :)
Come learn workflow hacks in the owner's group bit.ly/BrewWithFlair
I real like the Flair. I like the mobility of it. I may get one soon to take on the road.
Dear Flair
Out of curiosity, any plans on making a on the stove or electric plate, milk steam wand set up to complete the entire Flair Espresso, Grinder and Milk texturing package 🙂.
Having bieng using the Neo for months now, extremely pleased. Great work.
We have had a steamer on the road map for a while. Perhaps 2021 we can make it happen
@@FlairEspresso Extremely happy to hear this news. 🎉🎉🎉.
I love my Flair Pro 2. I use it every single morning and it's easily paid itself off.
🥰🙏
I have the flair classic and my biggest issue is with the plastic tamper it doesn't seem to fill the chamber and I always get seepage/channels in a ring around the outside.
Exact same problem. I haven’t bought the upgrade tamp but but annoying you have to
My puck always wet, and cleaning become so messy. Any tips? I always empty the chamber, but still get wet puck
This could be great paired with the Nanoformer.
Indeed
I bought my signature last week and I am enjoying it a lot! btw…nice t-shirt!
I should be getting my Neo and grinder this Thursday. Very excited
How are you enjoying your Flair. ? What are your thoughts on Royal Grinder from Flair.
I love my signature model, i have to say it produces some of the best espresso I’ve tasted, I wouldn’t even consider going back to an electric machine now.
What is the name of the kettle funnel thing you are using?
Silicone canning funnel
So, I have a neo and it's great. My next step is getting a quality grinder. Once I have that, what do you recommend for upgrading the Flair? Is the neo base fully compatible with other models?
NEO can be turned into a Classic or Signature with BPF and pressure gauge, but it is not compatible with the larger PRO brew heads. For grinders, we suggest you join the Brew With Flair group to see what other owners have success with bit.ly/BrewWithFlair
Yeah dude. Like Flair said: you can upgrade it up until the signature. All you really need is to upgrade it until the signature unless you want to upgrade the coffee head, then move on to the Pro (2) or the 58.
How come it's Impossible to get any scale but the pyxis underneath? I would totally buy an aftermarket base from you that I could use a scale with. 😎
Acaia Lunar, Brewista Smart Scale II, Joefrex and Weightman are several options that fit actually. Join the Brew With Flair group on Facebook to learn about others
Love my Pro 2! What little scale are you using to measure your yield? I can’t seem to find one with that form factor that isn’t a rectangle.
Acaia Pyxis and Weightman 👍
Wow, super impressed with this! I was having some issues with my Flair and if I had just watched this (again, watched before receiving my Flair) most of my issues would have resolved themselves! Had to make about 5 espressos before I had anything close to palatable. Excited to make my next cup!
Where can I get this shirt from?
One off print :)
Great presentation! My Flair should arrive Monday and I am so excited! Question - what type of micro scale are you using under the Flair when brewing there? Thanks!
Awesome! Hopefully you also joined the Brew With Flair group on FB
Excelente video. Gracias :)
I hope the grinder will soon available in indonesia.
Ultimate Espresso tutorial ☝️🤔
Great video presentation.You cover many details that are easy to understand which is important for a beginner like me.Thank you.
Thanks! Here's another that covered a bit more th-cam.com/video/MszhCyyvMEU/w-d-xo.html
After i pull espresso. I see a big gap around 5-10mm between portafilter and cylinder. What cause this problem? It is happen sometime.
Air in chamber usually. Always fill to the line (standard cylinder without PGK) or until water enters the well on plunger (PRO and any equipped with PGK). Never release force on lever during a shot like when changing hands, this allows the cylinder to raise up under pressure
@@FlairEspresso oh i see. I have pro 2. I will try to fill the water above the line.
@@TravelUnplugged watch the video again, listen to the explanation about water and air. Full until the water fills into the well you insert plunger
@@FlairEspresso ok and will practice again
Excellent video. Thank you.
Our pleasure 🤙
Ok reallllllllll question is.... How do you like the nanofoamer? Are you allowed to tell meh since the KS is still up 👀
It's legit and should be in everyone's toolkit for travel, and home if you don't already have a good solution for texturing
Which you prefer to frothing milk, nanofoamer or red steamer?
Steam is always preferable in our book, but they can be hard to source and about 2x-3x price. They also don't travel as well as something like the nanofoamer
@@FlairEspresso while I got your attention one last time....I've heard some rumors of a new model before the end of the year....something on different thermal management.....your thoughts lol?
@@koolaiddude7685894 something is definitely in the works! Expect to see hints in the coming weeks and month
What's the name of the facebook group once again? I thought I was in already but I cannot find it now.
"Brew with Flair"
@@FlairEspresso thank you!
We received the flair pro 2 a few days ago and the second shot was already on point. Our v60/espresso travel kit is complete!
@@guidoserrano2629hopefully "travel" will come easier and more often soon 🤙
How can i get one of those t-shirts!? LOL
Email us for a link to print one of your own 👌 service@flairespresso.com
@@FlairEspresso that was such a great presentation, thank you! Cant wait to get my flair
Shout out to Flair for such an amazing product! I have had flair pro 2 and Flair royal for a few weeks and it’s been doing fantastic. There is one issue that I notice since the beginning and I really don’t know if it’s normal. I find it pretty hard to plug in my pressure gauge into the water chamber that every time i put it in i have to force the chamber a few millimeter down. From what i see in youtube, people seem to plug it in easily and i didn’t notice any force-down of the chamber. Is this typical? Or is it just my machine? It’s brand new though.
Hey there, might be that you need a replacement for the o-ring there. Please email service@flairespresso.com
@@FlairEspresso even for a brand new product can the o-ring malfunction? It’s only 2 weeks old 😥
@@limsachak8479 not likely, but you may have received an o-ring that was out of spec. Please send an email as suggested
Ok i will
I have to install the pressure gauge with a bit of force, so you're not the only one. Rings are brand new, no scratches, no puncture holes...nothing. Seems normal. After all the pressure gauges bottom piece does have two rings that needs to fix on it.
Been brewing coffee in a Bialetti Moka pot (love it).
Hey, which kettle are you using for boiling the water ? thanks!!!
Brewista or Fellow
Hi,
I got a Signature and I wanna have a split spout. What are my options aside from upgrading my brew head?
thingiverse has a few printable options
Just bought flair classic solo. Somehow my piston/plunger has a very tight fit to the brew chamber. I have to exert quite a bit of force just to push it out. After a few uses I could already see that the rubber ring of the plunger has some scratches and peeled out a bit. Is it normal?
Hey there, we already responded to your DM on Instagram. Please follow the provided instructions on how to contact Support & Service
I definitely want a Flair Pro when I can afford it. But the thing that struck me the most about this is that the F in the Flair logo looks like one of those little stick dental flosser things.
🤣
Too long to get to the point..I left before that point..
I would love to get one to pair with my Breville Infuser. It would be awesome to have good coffee at my beach house next summer.
espresso anywhere, anytime is our motto !!
Thanx for the amazing video!
More on the way!
For the price you are asking, it is a way too complicated process. Sorry, I'm just saying what I see and hear. Elegance should not be complicated.
Cool to see little giant coffee there! 🙌🏻
Encore is ok if U make it stepless, worked for me :D
How do you keep it locked at desired grind when you remove the detent?
@@FlairEspresso I wrapped the detent holder with a rubber band(1mm thick, about 10mm wide). The rubber has a slight contact with the adjustment ring, so it makes a little
resistance when moving the hopper/adjusting the grind.
Can I upgrade the brew head and basket from signature to pro 2?
If it's PRO-enabled there will be a removable black plastic ring in the copper holder
Hi, can you tell me what type of scale you are using? Thanks so much!
$20 Weightman and $200 Pyxis 😮
Where did you find that mirror, it's a perfect fit.
It truly is! Sadly isn't avaliable anywhere but China that we're seeing
@@FlairEspresso I don't mind buying from China, do you have a link to it?
Anyone has a link or name of that mirror to search in Taobao?
We will have this selling on our website this weekend
Hi just got the flair royal grinder. I noticed you are using an automatic drill system to do the grinding. Would it be safe to use an electric drill to do the grinding work?
Ive been using a drill to spin my hand grinder for about 4 years. (Not the Flair hand grinder)
Bosch screwdriver has the perfect RPM and ergonomics for this. Works with any grinder that has a standard 1/4 drive rod and sometimes you can slip a socket over others
Thanks for the great video
I got my pro2 yesterday and i really need help with it
My shots is salty and have poor crema on it
I have not used any espresso machine before
Any tips and tricks so i can get rid of that salty taste
Thanks alot
Thanks! Please watch the video a second time paying close attention to the tips and suggestions I make specifically on this subject.
th-cam.com/video/MszhCyyvMEU/w-d-xo.html here's a more recent video that might have additional tips or at least re-iterate what you may have missed in this one
53:18 I love Peet's coffee. I get all of my grounds there. I get their (Baridi) for cold brew, (Espresso Forte) for espresso, and (Major Dickason's) for drip.
I got the Pro2 about a month ago. Haven’t quite dialed the grind in yet...but that’s more my fault since I’ve only been able to use it a couple times. The design and the quality of this is top notch though...very happy with my purchase. Eventually I’ll get it dialed in...looking forward to making the perfect shot!
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully you're already in on the Brew With Flair group on Facebook
@@FlairEspresso I don’t do Facebook...too many horrible people on there with no decency or respect (Twitter too).
Where did you get the silicone insert for the kettle?
Amazon: "3.5in or 4in food canning funnel"
15:48 love it!!
What kind of scale is that?
Acaia Pyxis and Weightman/Joefrex are the two opposite ends of the spectrum
@@FlairEspresso Thank you
What brand of scale?
Acaia Pixis and Weightman
@@FlairEspresso thank you
This is awesome content!
🙏
Where can I get that heating funnel for the kettle?
3.5 inch and 3 Inch depending your kettle (measure the opening) from Amazon.
@@FlairEspresso Thanks - what’s the search term I’m gonna have to look for?
@@davidhartl5417 🙏🙏🙏
@@davidhartl5417 silicone funnel
@@FlairEspresso One more question: so in the video I could only see you preheat the brew chamber on top of the kettle. Would that really be enough and could I skip the step of pouring hot water into it in order to heat it up?
Can you share some more tips on getting everything very hot, especially for light roast, while still handling it without getting burnt?
Silicone grabbers if you're concerned about not keeping your hands on the silicone wrapped sections. Steam with moka pot lower half, or use a kettle and funnel. Preheat the portafilter to a comfortable to handle temp if pro model
@@FlairEspresso I actually didn't order my Flair just yet, and planning on getting a Signature, but am a little bit worried about possible burns as I'm trying to pre heat everything as much as possible.
If that silicone can tolerate high temperatures of 100c and still be held, that is great.
@@rbmanb bit.ly/BrewWithFlair
@@FlairEspresso I'm a member.
Great community. Thanks.
@@FlairEspresso Take a look at this video.
The guy was able to clip a thermometer on the thing and see what happens.
th-cam.com/video/gy2-GNTvYXw/w-d-xo.html
Basically it shows that the temperature drops down so fast, that even with the most effort, and fastest work, brewing temperature is on 85c average.
That is good for dark roasted coffee, but would struggle a lot with light roast...
How/why does the flair grinder looked like that?
We watched too many Transformer movies and wanted to give it a badass Optimus Prime helmet. But mainly because you can drive the grinder with a 1/4 chuck and motor drive
@@FlairEspresso do you plan to commercialize this electric adapter for your grinder?
@@maximebeau2495 no plans at the present but all Royals are compatible with 1/4" chucks common to cordless drills ;) we suggest one with variable speed or geared for low RPM
