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, 9BAR 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.
  • BREW REAL ESPRESSO - 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. And, because the NEO Flex draws on Flairs existing lever-based espresso technology, you know that youll get delicious espresso in your cup every time.
  • 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 doesnt 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.
  • 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. The lever system of the NEO Flex is capable of generating between 6-9 BAR of pressure, exactly that needed to extract cafe-quality espresso.
  • CUSTOM TRAVEL CASE - This NEO Flex is ready to travel with a custom, padded travel case that zips open and closed. A top compartment will snugly fit the NEO Flex base while the bottom compartment holds the frame and brewing head. A padded insert protects the two sides to ensure your NEO Flex stays in great condition while traveling or in storage.
  • 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!

    • Great tool to learn espresso
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
Wanted to use this to learn espresso before invest in more expensive machine. It serve the purpose perfectly. E.g. the effect to pressure by changing grind size and use of WDT can be felt immediately and directly. This little toy can certainly make tasty coffee. I think an obvious improvement is possible with the pressure gauge, which can stick out straighter and further out to the side. I plan to bring this to the office once I upgrade to a more serious machine at home. ... show more

    • decent way to make espresso on a budget
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
I bought this unit to keep at my vacation home, as I did not want to lug my big expensive Ascaso machine down South, but I did bring my fancy grinder. I am retired to have to time to use this machine to make a couple coffees in the morning. More work than an electric machine of course. Needed to buy a kettle with temp gauge and pourover spout, high end grinder and weigh scale. Took a while to dial in with my fancy grinder and bean weight, which seems to be ideal at 9 grams of beans per shot to the line with hot water. Any more and the puck is too thick to extract through. fwiw. Very good value, my electric machine cost 17x as much for not much better espresso! ... show more

    • Transformed my Coffee life for the better but . . .

Been a fan of Nespresso Kazaar for 10 years. Decided to patronize Coffee grown in my country ( Ghana ) and after reading and watching many reviews, I decided to go for the Neo Flex primarily because of cost. Best decision ever and I can't go back to ground coffee again. Think the Neo Flex is a superb product but after two months the piston broke this morning and its affecting the quality of my shots. I have ordered the Flair Pressure Guage kit with its attached stainless steel piston and hope it resolves my issue and doesn't break down again. Apart from the broken piston, I am very happy with my Neo Flex. ... show more

    • Great espresso and build
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
I was first concerned about the build and the plastic look on the photos but when you have it in person it actually feels very sturdy and doesn't look cheap at all. I absolutely have no issues with the frame. Also when you use it with the pressur gauge, the creaking isn't bad at all. Its also nice that you barely gave to preheat. I really like it. I ultimately returned it to get the flair pro for its bigger size shot. ... show more

    • Good Espresso, Bad Design
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
Review Image by caleb f. caleb f.
I really enjoy making espresso with my flair. It's a good result for the $. I found the alignment of the pressure gauge to not fit very well, so much that it reduces the ability of the head to build pressure because it's not centered when the gauge is used. I returned it. Additionally there is a major design flaw in the silicone base used to preheat the chamber. The first time I used it I picked up the chamber and the bottom dropped out spilling hot water down the front of me. Flair provided some technique suggestions, which I felt were totally inappropriate versus addressing the bad design and foreseeable safety issues with using a silicone mold that has no connection to the chamber. If they keep this up they are asking for legal trouble. I would suggest they actually redesign the component so that it attached securely and make it right for people. Update- The very thin piece of plastic that holds the lower rubber gasket on has broken. I have reached out to flair, but have received no response to the warranty request. Lowering review to 1 star for absolutely no follow up regarding outreach. ... show more

    • First impressions - higher quality than expected
There are a lot of online reviews of the Flair system so I will focus on my initial impressions of the quality of the Flair Neo, rather than making espresso with it. I will update this once I have a handle on pulling a good shot, and after receiving the bottomless portafilter. My normal espresso machine has to be sent in for service, and I wanted to have a high level espresso machine to use on the road with our camper van. The Flair + a hand grinder seemed like the perfect solution. This being the cheapest model in the Flair lineup, I was interested to see how it would stack up to the higher end models that I have seen reviewed. Upon opening the box, the first thing I could tell is that this is a high quality unit. The grey finished metal frame is quality all the way. It's also great to look at, especially with the red and stainless color of the group head / portafilter. The way the frame attaches and detaches is pretty smart -- very stable and yet takes a second to take apart for storage. This will be great for travel. There is also a screw with a washer that they include in the box for permanently attaching the two parts of the frame for added stability if you don't need to take it apart for travel. Without the screw, there is some play in the frame and the handle, but nothing that should cause any instability because once you put 30-40 pounds of force on the lever, nothing is going to move. Included is a red pressurized portafilter. I am somewhat of a geek when it comes to making espresso, so the pressurized portafilter would not be my first choice. I prefer to use the correct grinder and grind settings to dial in my shots and get the maximum flavor out of my espresso. Therefore I plan to get the bottomless portafilter accessory that they offer (there is currently a promo for a free one, but afterwards it is $24, a reasonable price). However, that said, there are times that the pressurized one may come in handy, such as trying a different batch of coffee without having to take the time and waste coffee to dial it in. Plus, being so small, this is an easy thing to keep around while traveling. The plunger for the group head mechanism is made of high-grade plastic. For me, this is probably the biggest disadvantage, as I would prefer 100% stainless. However, the good news is that in the future, if I purchase the pressure gauge, it includes a stainless plunger. This plunger makes contact with the hot water, although it does not directly contact the coffee. I would like to see a stainless steel plunger instead of the plastic one, at least available as an option but without the pressure gauge. The rest of the parts are the plastic funnel (a nice touch) and a plastic hollow tamper. This tamper is not a "real" tamper, but it can do the job. They sell a "real" tamper as an accessory that fits the portafilter size. Speaking of which, here is a general tip I learned that helps one figure out how much force to apply for tamping: press down evenly with increasing progressive force and feel the coffee compress as the tamper moves down. Once you feel the coffee no longer moves, stop. Don't force it. This will create consistent tamping no matter what the coffee or grind level. The final part is a thick plastic tray for placing your cup. This just sits on the frame, and isn't really needed. Nice that they include it but I might not bring it with me for travel. The NEO does not include the case that the higher end models include. I was fine without it, as I will create my own that also has room for a grinder and fits where I need it to. I look forward to getting my feet wet and learning to pull good shots with the Flair. Overall, the Neo -- with the optional bottomless portafilter -- is a good value and seems to offer the same quality as in the higher end models, and since the components are the same, obviously the espresso pulled will be of equivalent quality. UPDATE: After a little while with this Neo I quickly realized I wanted the Pro 2 version. The main reason was because the Neo can't accommodate the pro's group head (available separately), which was only apparent to me after purchase. The capacity of the Neo is a bit small, and the shape of the basket combined with the bottomless filter makes it difficult to avoid a bit of a sideways splattering mess. The Neo is wonderful, but the pro has truly blown my mind and was well worth the upgrade. After a little bit of a learning curve, I'm now pulling shots consistently better or at least on par with what I often get at the very best third-wave espresso bars. ... show more
