The Gold Standard in Manual Espresso
Flair 58 is a fully-manual, professional grade, lever espresso press that is focused on maximizing the workflow and the espresso from at-home extractions. The Flair 58 family features Flair’s first industry standard 58mm portafilter as well as a more robust frame and lever for ease of extractions at higher pressures.
The 58 also includes specific customer requested upgrades to the preheating and workflow process by providing our Preheat Temperature Controller (Flair 58x is preheat upgradable) and our new valve plunger, which includes a puck screen. Just set your brew head to one of three heat settings to ensure proper preheat and thermal control in every shot. Add your brew water without the need to remove the stem!
Both the Flair 58 and 58x come available in two variations that customers can choose between:
- The base model with our chamfered, low-flow 18 gram basket
- The additional basket model that includes an additional straight walled high-flow 18 gram basket
The low-flow 18 gram basket is perfect to any home brewer’s kit, and allows for a dose range between 16-22 grams.
This low-flow basket, when compared to the standard straight-walled basket of the Flair 58, allows for an easier dial-in process by allowing a grind that is coarser for proper extractions, thereby increasing the overall compatibility with a range of grinders. The straight-walled basket will require a grind that mimics a commercial machine.
