The instructions from this point on weren’t super clear unfortunately. While there were images to help guide the setup, it was still challenging to identify the pieces in the instructions because, as mentioned, some of the parts look incredibly similar to other parts. Needless to say, I had a lot of trial and error in setting it up the first time.In total, it probably took about 30 minutes to get the Flair Pro 2 working for the first time. After that, it was much easier and took about 10 to 15 minutes to make an espresso. Performance: Hands on, but mostly enjoyable The models vary in terms of accessories and upgrades they have, but they all have good build quality. These manual espresso machines are made of cast aluminum (the base) and stainless steel (group head, lever, and portafilter holder). Both are durable metals that can withstand use over a long time. The group head has quality rubber inner rings that didn’t leak at all, at least on my Pro 2 model. To set the Flair Pro 2 up for first use, I cleaned all of the removable parts with warm water and soap. Next, I put it together following the included instructions. The first thing to do is to attach the lever component to the base. This step was intuitive as the two pieces fit right together (see photo above). The stainless steel dirt tray fits snugly onto the Flair base. After this, it got a bit more complicated. Overall, I’m a fan of Flair espresso makers. They have a durable build, affordable price, and, most importantly, produce great espresso. However, keep in mind you’ll need a quality burr grinder, kettle, and a pressure gauge with some models. Overall, this is a great model if you want a manual espresso machine that produces quality espresso and you have some room in your budget. It’s also a good choice if you don’t want to get an additional pressure gauge and want a larger portafilter capacity.

Ehrlich gesagt, was mich am meisten überrascht hat, ist, dass wir Espressi erhalten, die sehr ähnlich oder manchmal sogar besser sind als einige professionelle Maschinen, die mehr als das Zehnfache ihres Preises kosten. Und das liegt an dem großen Vorteil, dass uns absolut alle Variablen zur Verfügung stehen. Flair Pro 2 is the Flair espresso model I tested. This might be the best value of the Flair lineup, as It’s considerably more expensive compared to the Flair Classic, but it has a better build quality and a larger capacity. However, it’s not the ultimate like the Flair 58. Aus diesem Grund richtet sich dieses Modell an diejenigen, die bereits eine gewisse Erfahrung im Espressobereich haben, und die anderen Modelle, wie die Flair Neo, die wir in einem anderen Artikel sehen werden, richten sich an diejenigen, die gerade erst in die Welt des Kaffees einsteigen und vielleicht noch keine gute Mühle haben. Tipps für die Verwendung der Flair Pro-2 Kaffeemaschine

Mô tả sản phẩm & Hướng dẫn

Versiunea PRO 2 față de versiunea PRO 1conține următoarele îmbunătățiri: pâlnie din oțel inoxidabil, mânerul siliconic, manometru cu strat din silicon, portafiltru îmbunătățit. These manual espresso makers are light and portable, weighing about five pounds upwards, even though they have a stainless steel build. I won’t lie; brewing espresso with Flair espresso machines requires a learning curve, particularly around the setup and cleaning. All Flair espresso machines are pretty similar (except for Flair 58). If you understand one, you understand all of them, so here’s a rundown of their design, use, and value. Design

In addition to doing it manually, I was able to determine if my grind was right by the feel of the lever. If the grind is too coarse, the lever was too easy to push down, and if too fine, it was be too difficult to push the lever down. In using it several times, I was able to get the feel of the lever and could adjust the grind accordingly for each roast. Wie bei allen Espressomaschinen ist es wichtig, dass die Gruppe und der Siebträger so heiß wie möglich sind, damit die Extraktionstemperatur nicht abfällt. Aber bei dieser Kaffeemaschine müssen wir das manuell machen, und dafür haben wir zwei Möglichkeiten: The heating system only heats the brew head, not the water, so you still need a kettle. It has three temperature levels: 185, 194, and 203 degrees. You have to plug in the espresso machine, choose the temperature, and wait about five minutes for it to heat. You can use this time to grind the coffee and boil the water, so there’s essentially no additional waiting time.Each model has a base, a lever, and a brewing chamber which are easily disassembled for portability. Most Flair espresso devices have a cylinder with a water capacity of 60 ml, while the Flair 58 goes to 90 ml. You control the amount of pressure instead of a brew head. Flair espresso makers are more affordable than semi-automatic and super-automatic devices. They are also light and portable, starting at about five pounds. They come with a carrying case so you can take them on road trips, camping, and more, as long you can boil water too. Initial goal: My current working 'recipe' is a pull of 20g coffee in, 40g shot out using a 15 sec pre-infusion followed by ~40sec pull at 6-7 bar. This has yielded good shots thus far. Flair 58 is the latest Flair espresso maker. It’s significantly more expensive than its predecessors, but for a good reason: this model is comparable in ease of use to a more expensive semi-automatic. MAJOR BREWING UPGRADES – The Flair PRO 2 features three upgrades over Flair’s other manual espresso makers including a removable stainless steel spout, an enhanced all-stainless steel bottomless portafilter with improved flow dynamics, and a silicone lever grip for better brewing ergonomics.

Grinder: Bought a new Lido ET grinder currently dialed in at 4 marks more coarse than zero. Ran a bag of inexpensive beans through it to break in the burrs and get an initial dial in for the Pro2. Used RDT to reduce static which works great.

Dies kann passieren, wenn Sie den Kaffee nach dem Einfüllen in den Korb nicht gut verteilen oder, was noch offensichtlicher ist, wenn Sie keine gute Mühle haben, die einen gleichmäßigen Mahlgrad erzeugt. Bezüglich der Prä-Infusion HANDCRAFT SHOTS OF ESPRESSO – The Flair PRO 2 is a 100% human-powered, manual espresso press. With the Flair PRO 2, you have a complete manual espresso machine that can produce professional quality shots of espresso from your home, or wherever you are. Add 70ml of boiled water and a dose of up to 24 grams to yield up to a 56 ml shot with beautiful crema. A burr grinder is essential for use with this product. oferta noastă veți găsi modele: Flair Neo, Flair Classic, Flair Signature, Flair PRO2. Pachetul include: Next, it’s time to prepare the brew head (consists of the portafilter, plunger, and cylinder). Add the preheat cap onto the bottom of the cylinder and fill it with the water that was previously heating. Leave the water in for 30 seconds and then pour it out and remove the preheat cap. This is to preheat the brew head, which helps to produce a well-extracted shot (so in other words, don’t skip this step). Then, place the cylinder on top of the portafilter.

This is a basic version, so there’s no pressure gauge. It uses 12 to 18 g of coffee and has a maximum output of 40 ml. In terms of performance, the Flair Pro 2 brews high-quality espresso — equivalent to what you’d make with an electric espresso machine. It’s quite amazing. In my opinion, the brewing experience is all part of this product and it’s quite beautiful. Yes, it does take a bit longer than an electric machine — around 10 to 15 minutes — but it’s quite enjoyable at the same time. As someone who really enjoys crafting coffee at home, the Flair Pro 2 allowed me to brew my espresso and really enjoy and understand the espresso-making process to a new level. Flair PRO 2este cel mai popular aparat de cafea de la Flair espresso.Este cel mai sofisticat model din oferta noatră, cu care veți prepara o cafea cu adevărat excelentă la nivelul unei aparat de cafea profesional dintr-o cafenea.

For these coffees, I generally like a 2.5-3:1 shot with 18g coffee using a ~15 sec pre-infusion at ~2 bar, followed by a ~45 sec pull at a max of ~7 bar, then declining to ~2 bar at the end of the pull. But, I've mostly stopped paying attention to the pressure/time, and instead I use a mirror to eyeball the 'mouse tail' emerging from the portafilter and let the filter coverage and color of the liquid guide me.

Đánh giá

Bei dieser Maschine muss man sich die Zeit nehmen, alles vorzubereiten, das Wasser zu erhitzen, die Teile vorzuwärmen und so weiter. Das mag nach vielen Schritten klingen, aber es ist wie bei allem anderen: Wenn man sie einmal in seine Routine eingebaut hat, tut man sie fast ohne nachzudenken. Complicated use compared to automatic machines — You need to go through more steps compared to pressing a button and having an espresso. Pre-heating of group head: My kettle is a 1.2L Hario on a gas stove. I did 2 pre-heats of the group head with water just off the boil prior to putting the head on the portafilter to fill again and pull the shot. I added the optional adhesive temp strip to the group head at the base, and while I didn't validate its accuracy it appears consistent so should be useful for day-to-day shot pulls as a relative indicator the group head is hot enough. At one point I wanted to see how high a temp I could record on the temp strip by doing 6 successive pre-heats, but found it leveled off after 3 pre-heats at 194F on the strip. Refurbished items receive a 12% discount and are 100% mechanically functional. Each refurbished unit will feature some type of small cosmetic blemish, which will not impact the quality of your espresso. Im Vergleich zu einer elektrischen Maschine, die einen Espresso von gleicher Qualität zubereiten kann, ist sie sehr sparsam, gerade weil wir keine Motoren oder irgendetwas Automatisches haben. Und das ist es, was man bedenken sollte, wenn man eine Espressomaschine kaufen möchte und nicht weiß, für welche man sich entscheiden soll.
