Flair 58 Plus Manual Espresso Maker

The Flair 58 Plus is perfect for anyone wanting a lever-based espresso machine that is equally as beautiful as it is capable. The Flair 58 Plus is not only for advanced espresso brewers, but is perfect for those that want high-quality espresso, a manual workflow that’s streamlined, and the experience of brewing their own espresso.

Flair Espresso’s latest flagship model is the Flair 58 Plus. The Flair 58+, which has the same features as the Flair 58 base model but with wood accents on the portafilter, t-grip, and palm tamper, looks stunning. The Flair 58 Plus boasts unique personalized branding that is exclusive to it, and an articulating shot mirror that is provided that is attached to the post magnetically.

The Flair 58 Plus has a three-level preheat system: low, medium, and high. These settings generally correspond to the brewing temperatures required for dark, medium, and light roasts, respectively. With the 58 Plus’s easily detachable preheat controller, you can brew espresso anywhere, even off the grid, if you’re itching to travel.

The Flair 58 Plus also features dark motif screws and includes both of Flair’s portafilter baskets, the high and low-flow, to ensure home baristas have all the control they need

At a minimum, Brewers with the Flair 58 Plus must have

Espresso capable, high-quality burr grinder – It’s impossible to dial-in your espresso extraction with inconsistent grounds. As such, it’s required to have an espresso-capable burr grinder to use with your Flair 58 Plus.

High-quality kettle – While a temperature controlled kettle is not required for brewing with the Flair 58 Plus, it will definitely make your workflow and experience more enjoyable. At a minimum, target a kettle with a thermometer so you can be precise with your thermal inputs.

Digital Scale – Any scale will do, but for repeatable results, both your inputs and outputs should be measured. This includes for dosing your beans, measuring the output in your cup as well as flow rate.
