Ha! Some good books you got back there. I haven't watch the full video yet. Looking forward to it since I sold my Classic and am looking to get another.
Couldn't find 'Blackwell's companion to natural theology' on your desk😂 I can suggest that book, or any other literature by William Lane Craig to be honest👍🏻
Very nice video, thanks! For those looking for the cheapest yet really quality grinder, hand grinders are the ones to choose. And the best bang for your buck, the cheapest Very high quality seems to be the 1Zpresso JX-Pro, from what I've gathered in forum posts. That said, don't believe on me, do your search
The Flair is a beautiful example of industrial design. IMHO, it is the best hand-pull home machine made today. I almost got a La Pavoni, but I took a chance on a machine 1/4 the price, and I am glad I got a Flair instead. Absolute quality, portable, with a nice case, barista quality shots . Save yourself $600 - $800+ over a lovely Italian machine, and get as good , or better, shots from the Flair.
Hey that‘s very interesting. Thank you! I would just use it maybe 3 weeks/year and I will not have a grinder with me. Do you think the classic is good for that and did you already test the NEO?
thank you, that was very helpful. Here in Japan the Flair Pro2 is very expensive (~$650 almost double the signature and almost up to La Pavoni pricing). Do you feel like you can pull a better shot with the Pro2 or do you like it because of the nicer build quality?
I highly doubt it. All the pressure regulation happens with grounds and ground quality. I think the bottom holes are just a pass through at that point and keep the grounds from coming out. I think for the pro 2 is mainly if you want a spout or not, I have the pro 1 and don’t have issues with it spraying but that’s mainly an indication that you’re doing something wrong anyway. I’ve had luck with making sure your grounds are settled well before you tamp and tamp level without it going to one side, that can cause cracks in the puck and also pre infusion of a few seconds at 1 bar a then go to 6-9 bars
so it hasn't shipped yet but I JUST bought the classic with the package set that comes with the pressure gauge and stainless tamper. should I switch to the signature? or is it basically the same the kit that I'm buying.
Classic (red pf holder) with gauge kit and SS tamper is same as the signature with pressure kit (copper plated of holder). The singature pro is different which uses the new /bigger brew head and PF.
What if I only put 12 grams of coffee in the pro 2 basket which takes a minimum of 16 gram? Will I still be able to brew with the pro 2 or am I better with the the signature model?
I just Finished a Masters of Arts in theological studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in May. I am a full time Student and Young Adult Pastor. Have been for about 4 years
Does the pro 2 make better tasting espresso than the classic with the pressure kit? The pro 2 costs $60 more. I think I'm gonna buy the classic with the pressure kit because I aint rich
does the Flair Signature and Pro have the same kind lf pressure gauge? My flair signature's pressure gauge didnt come with a silicon o-ring and the only o-ring replacement available here are for pro and pro 2.
hey can you help, currently i have flair signature, if i want to upgrade to pro2 portafilter, should i buy both pressure gauge and tamper for pro2? or i can just use the signature?
Hey man quick question if you can help me out with, since you have the classic and pro 1. Can you check for me if the Dispersion screen that comes with the classic will fit in the portafilter of the pro 1? I need to know because I'm waiting for flair to send me a new Pro shower screen, but my local store has the classic style dispersion screen so wondering if that would work instead. Thanks man, appreciate it
Great video, more detailed in the differences than even Flair mentions on their website, thank you. Also, just a heads up it's SPOUT not Sprout! :) But I think people know what you mean either way.
Great info, thanks! I decided on the Classic (because I don’t like the rose gold trim on the Pro 2). Was going to upgrade to the Pro 2 brew head, but have no real need to do that, as I already have a fully modded Gaggia Classic. I did get the pressure gauge for it though. The Flair is a simple and fun machine that makes GREAT espresso. It looks beautiful on the counter and is great for travel, too.
Thank you for this video. It answered so many of my questions, even some I didn't know I had. You mentioned that it's possible to get a late model Classic and upgrade it with the Pro2 Portafilter. According to Flair support and website only the Signature accepts the Pro2 Portafilter. I would love to buy a used Classic or, even better, the Neo and pop the Pro2 Portafilter and pressure gauge in to get a budget Pro2. Can you confirm that the Classic would indeed accept the Pro2 Portafilter pls?
After my Breville Barista Express took a dump on me. I’m looking for a proper Italian made high end machine (maybe Rocket or La Marzocco) in a few years. Gotta save for it. In the mean time this look like it can hold me through. Not bad for the $2-$300 price range. What do you use for grinding your coffee?
@@CabeensCoffeeCorner Awesome! I look forward to the Flair Pro 2.0. I will say I was taken back a bit from all the hand grinder options out there. Seems like a proper espresso hand grinders sell for $100 - $300 range. Grind is everything with espresso. I hear so much about NICHE single dose grinder. They are backlogged and currently taking a wait list for October sales.
Nice video man, thanks for the information! I wonder have you try to use the dispresion screen on clasic to pro or pro to classic? Because in my country classic sparepart is not available again and I get the old version classic flair that get dispresion screen with rubber and already ripped :’( the stainless like classic new version also unavailable. Because the distributor focusing on sale the pro version.
enjoying your vid, while sipping one brewed with my classic. things to note; 1. the funnel below portafilter is great. 2. to yield best, ground to be tamped to the height just exactly height till flushes to bottom of screen.
It is whatever tasted good to you! I typically go with a 1 to 2 ratio. 1 gram of coffee to 2 grams of liquid in the cup. with 16g of grounds I would aim for about 32 grams in the cup. But that is just my personal preference.
Hey, nice video! I have question though. Flair started releasing refurbished equipment which range from the classic to the pro models. Do you think buying a refurbished item from flair will yield a return in investment? Thank you!
If i have a classic one, to upgrade to pro 2 so what i need is just buy pro 2 brew head set? So i still can use my portafilter base and the steel puller?
Bummer about the larger brew head requiring a different pressure gauge than the one on the signature. I was planning to buy the signature and also buying the larger brew head. Reason: I want to pull smaller shots for me and larger shots for my wife. So here's a question: Can you use like 9 grams of coffee in either brew head if you want to pull a single shot? Or do you have to use the minimum that's listed, for example minimum of 12 grams for the standard brew head or 16 grams for the Pro 2 brew head?
@@CabeensCoffeeCorner thank you! I think I'll go with the signature because it does have a significantly smaller brew head which will be better for smaller amounts of coffee.
Good info, i am also start from kickstarter flair, and upgrade the base to botomless, but glad to know that the new portafilter wont fit in my old body. And it become clear why the plunger differences for pro and classic.
I have the signature pro 1. a bit gutted.i didn't know there was a pro2 or I wouldn't have bought it.i have a pro 1,do I need a pro 2 for better coffee. Also were do I buy replacement rings for pro 1 Have u ever needed to change them? Thanks
Nathan Cabeen ok thanks:)is that the new one with the spout?what is the spout for?so u have never replaced the I rings on the pro 1? I just wanted to buy a few so it's future proof,for example if a few years down the line there on the pro5 and no longer do o rings for older models
So before watching this video, I came to the conclusion that the original purchase of an Aergrind+Flair classic upgraded to the Comandante+Flair pro II was the way to go, but it's really nice having a bit of validation for my purchases :D
great video thank you! i admire your coffee journey. I would've jumped on the new neo model if it could be upgraded to the pro 2 brew head. i'm going to save up for the pro 2 and look forward to the royal grinder, krinder, or 1zpresso je. i might get the classic brew head afterwards to test pulling smaller shots.
It looks like the classic comes with the bottomless portafilter now. Is the only difference between the signature and classic now that the signature has the pressure bar and tamper? Would you still go for the signature?
I really love that you have your study material in the background. Grudem's systematic theology is great. I've been reading Biblical Doctrine by MacArthur and Mayhue.
It surprising that of all the modifications and upgrades flair made they did not change the composition of the plunger or the Piston from plastic to stainless steel.
@@CabeensCoffeeCorner That was a mistake to go back to the plastic plunger because it's not necessarily neutral when it comes to heat and therefore you may be getting some of the plastic components in your coffee.
It’s not flat on your work surface, makes it troublesome to tamp the coffee with the pro. The Pro 2 solves this with the lip so the bottom of the basket doesn’t come into contact with your work surface.
Now the tough question is do I buy a flair Pro 2, or do I look into a semi-automated machine with a built in boiler, increased maintenance for sure, but i can pull back to back shots quicker than the flair; guess I'll continue to contemplate...
Nathan- Can you elaborate on how pulling back to back shots compares on the flair vs semi-automatic machines? I'm also trying to decide between a low-end semi-automatic machines (Breville Infuser) and a manual machine. There seems to be more work with the flair (taking all the components apart). Would I be able to pull back to back shots for guests with the flair as quickly as the semi-automatic machines?
@@danjunior7034 If you plan to pull back to back shots on a regular basis with the Flair, a second basket and brew head is invaluable, pulling the portafilter apart without burning your fingers for the 2nd shot is finicky. With a semi automatic you just knock out the puck, rinse and wipe and you can get started on the next shot.
A really useful video when trying to decide which version to buy - thank you so much!!
I fully agree, best overview I've seen so far - thank you!
Great video. I'm new to espresso and looking for a non-electric espresso maker and this video has helped a lot! Very thorough. Thanks!
I hope you got your Flair, I’ve had mine for 2 years, and I make the best espresso in town. Really.
Mitchel Evans I actually did an absolutely love it. Still trying to fine tune the best amount of grounds and type of beans etc. Now I’m looking for an easier way to steam and stretch milk than having to use a French press and heat up in a double boiler on the stove. Any experience?
Off With The Grid get the Bellman stovetop steamer. It’s a 2 in 1 espresso maker that makes terrible espresso but rather good at steaming milk
Ha! Some good books you got back there. I haven't watch the full video yet. Looking forward to it since I sold my Classic and am looking to get another.
I’m a Full time pastor!
@@CabeensCoffeeCorner As am I: Knox Reformed Presbyterian Church, Mechanicsville, VA
bro, if i have pro1 , i can just buy new portafilter to upgrade to pro2?
Books at the background are way too familiar to me. I can see a Grudem and Tozer. Hahaha
Quick question, does Hario V60 Scale fit where the drip trays go? Or is it too big? I know Acaia scale fits but its way too expensive. Thank you!

Glad it helped!
Excellent video, now put that Grudem on the trash an buy a Berkhof systematic 😂😂
Haha I have both!
Will the pro 2 ports filter produce better coffee than pro 1.thats all I'm bothered about
Thanks
I highly doubt it. All the pressure regulation happens with grounds and ground quality. I think the bottom holes are just a pass through at that point and keep the grounds from coming out. I think for the pro 2 is mainly if you want a spout or not, I have the pro 1 and don’t have issues with it spraying but that’s mainly an indication that you’re doing something wrong anyway. I’ve had luck with making sure your grounds are settled well before you tamp and tamp level without it going to one side, that can cause cracks in the puck and also pre infusion of a few seconds at 1 bar a then go to 6-9 bars
La what?
Is brewhead and screen for the pro 1 and pro 2 the same? I wanted to upgrade my pro 1 to pro 2. Means i just need to get pro 2 portafilter only?
It’s pretty close. No need to upgrade that part
I didn't quite understand how you broke your pressure gauge.. because you preheated it or because you didn't preheat it??
Honestly not sure I think it was frozen when I was outside and I tried to use it while frozen
so it hasn't shipped yet but I JUST bought the classic with the package set that comes with the pressure gauge and stainless tamper. should I switch to the signature? or is it basically the same the kit that I'm buying.

I haven’t tried it out you might have problems tamping. If memory serve the basketry is slightly slopped at the bottom
clear and good review. It was very easy to understand the differences between each model. thank you so much!

Correct!
