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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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 cafe-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.

  • Sexy plastic coffee juicer
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
Lattes on this will blow your mind. I primarily make lattes. Smoother workflow than expected; preheating is a non-issue with the kettle steaming trick. The super narrow filter gives a ton of body to all my shots compared to my wider portafilter machines, which complements milk EXTREMELY well. But also the flavors are so blended now that all my lattes taste the same. this is both good and bad: I lose the nuances of flavor on one hand, but on another hand it makes both expensive and cheap beans taste good. I can just go for the cheapest beans now in bulk! I suggest: -lengthen the lever and slap a grip on it. i've tried the flair 58 with both of these which, along with metal, make it 10 times easier to pull and keep pressure steady. i highly recommend wearing grippy gloves as keeping a constant 9 bars will be challenging for most people. it's sort of like holding a plank for a minute -workflow is still a lot slower than an electric machine but mainly due to lack of volume per shot -i surmise the perfect middle ground for lattes is 46mm, so widen it just a little. I've tried lattes from 51 54 58 and now 40mm basket widths. i think sitting between 51 and 40 would give you the best balance of body + clarity. I admit between the plasticy feel, the terrible grip, tiny shot volume, this still feels like a toy. But wait! all of my suggestions are already in the pro 2. i guess they already had it all figured out. well, minus the price tag since I don't think a basic lever machine should cost more than a Breville Bambino. i will be getting that to test out once on sale. ... 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

  • Great Coffee
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Easy to learn, hard to master
Size: NEO Flex Color: Black
The Flex made rock-solid espresso the very first time I used it, and it's getting better and better with practice. It's far and away the easiest manual option I've used, so if you are a total beginner, it doesn't get easier than this. The flow-control portafilter makes it almost impossible to mess up, while the bottomless portafilter gives more control (though you'll need a good grinder). In my opinion, it's the best of both worlds: my wife can knock out a decent shot without trying, while I can try to chase the perfect shot. Other than that, relative to the other solutions I've tried, it's easy to set up, easy to clean, and easy to take apart, which is great if you don't have a ton of space to store the thing (if you do, you can just leave it on a counter, since in my opinion it looks quite nice). ... show more
