## Description

desertcart.com: Flair The NEO Flex: UPDATED Direct Lever Manual Espresso Maker for Home with a Pressure Gauge and Two Portafilters - Brew Cafe Quality Espresso : Industrial & Scientific

Review: Great Espresso for Camping and Vacations - I've been interested in the Flair models for some time as a vacation/camping option, but the added cost of adding a pressure gauge had me look towards other options. I used the Staresso Plus last year with good results, but it started to fall apart pretty quickly with moderate use. This Flair 2024 refresh, with it's inclusion of a pressure gauge and affordable pricing, was a great purchase for my last vacation. With the correct grind, this makes fantastic espresso shots using the included black "naked" portafilter - if fact the included red one can be converted to "naked" by removing the pressurized bottom section, which is great for puck prep and pulling multiple shots in a row! The base is just two parts and is easily disassembled for portability. This refresh intentionally thinned the metal of the unit to avoid some of the pre-heating time that previous models required - again, is great for camping/vacation use cases! I've used Rancilio Silvia's for daily espresso for several decades and can attest to the quality of the shots this can produce (under the typical right conditions of grind/tamp/pressure/heat). I do wonder about the longevity of some of the components. The base is plastic, but seems sturdy, although it does make some creaking noises when pulling shots. The pressure gauge is rudimentary at best and does not specify bars - so this is something that could fail prematurely. Also of concern are the gaskets - I'm not sure if Flair sells replacements, but it would be great if they do to extend the life of the product.
Review: New to espresso? Buy me! - Amazing little espresso machine for the price. I've only used the pressurized portafilter once but it made a solid cup of coffee. I have a Baratza Encore ESP so i use the black basket and once I figured out the workflow this became my daily machine. It can make WONDERFUL shots of espresso if you take the time to learn how direct lever machines want to brew, and how your beans want you to brew them. It creaks a bit, makes some weird noises here and there because it's made of plastic. The chamber requires preheating for very light roasts and cools down very quickly but its still doable and that is amazing! I highly recommend this very capable little espresso machine.

## Features

- HANDCRAFT ESPRESSO AT HOME - The Flair NEO Flex is a 100% human-powered, manual espresso press. With the Flair NEO Flex espresso machine, you have a complete manual espresso maker that can produce professional quality shots of espresso from your home, or wherever you are. Add 60ml of boiled water and a dose of up to 18 grams to yield a 40 ml shot with beautiful crema.
- KEY PRODUCT UPDATES - The updated NEO Flex now features two key updates, an integrated pressure gauge for direct feedback while brewing your espresso, and a new thin brewing cylinder that requires no preheat. Just add your grounds, your just boiled brew water, and you'll get delicious espresso at home.
- CHOOSE YOUR PORTAFILTER - The Flair NEO Flex comes with two different portafilters to provide users the ability to select between convenience and control. Start with the red Flow Control portafilter, which doesn’t require a high-quality burr grinder, and which automatically generates the pressure needed for a great espresso extraction. When ready, switch to the Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter to dial in your espresso for full control. This portafilter requires a high quality burr grinder.
- BREWS REAL ESPRESSO - The lever system of the NEO Flex is capable of generating between 6-9 BAR of pressure, exactly that needed to extract café-quality espresso. This lever system also offers complete control over your extraction! Brew at different pressure profiles to ensure your espresso is exactly as you want it. The NEO Flex is real espresso, at home or anywhere.
- ESPRESSO WITHIN REACH - The NEO Flex is an all-manual, lever-based espresso maker. The NEO Flex is constructed from a lightweight poly frame, which is strong and durable, but also light enough to take or store anywhere. If you encounter any problems, know that Flair has your back. Featuring a 1-year limited warranty on the frame and metal parts, and 6 months on parts that are subject to wear and tear.
- EASY TO CLEAN - The Flair NEO Flex is easy to clean and comes with a patented, removable brewing head. When done brewing your espresso, just removed the entire brewing head, separate the parts, and rinse with cool water. No complicated washing or cleaning required!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from the Signature model?**
A: The NEO features our Flow-Control Portafilter, which helps to ensure the proper time and pressure is achieved regardless of the beans or grind size used. Our other models, including the Signature, rely solely on a perfectly prepped coffee bed to build the necessary back-pressure to craft espresso. The NEO is recommended for those just getting into espresso, or those without access to a high-quality grinder and fresh beans.

**Q: Do any plastic parts contact the hot water/grounds?**
A: Yes, the piston is plastic and contacts the hot water. The exit port is also plastic (or a sort of rubber, can't tell for sure). But they are all well made and sturdy. The only part that doesn't seem like high quality (for this price point) is the tamper, but you can use your own.

**Q: Does this include the Flow-Control v2 Portafilter?**
A: No

**Q: I have a decent grinder; is it worth upgrading or is the Neo still okay?**
A: I use espresso ground coffee for the NEO and that works well! So if your coffee grinder has a very fine setting, that should work great!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Coffee
*by J***R on January 8, 2024*

The quality if coffee is great and cleaning it is super easy, somethhujg I didn't even consider before buying it. I wish I had hiught the model above it though. The base isn't very stable and the portafilter is small. I also don't like how tr water chamber can only hold 1.5oz, I wish it could holdat least 2o. However for the price, this is the best quality cc offee, and machine I've seen.
