  • First impressions - higher quality than expected
Size: NEO Color: Grey
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

  • Upgrade for the bottomless portafilter or get the Classic!
Size: NEO Color: Grey
This is my entry into the espresso world, so I thought it would be safer to get the classic+bottomless portafilter than to get the Classic. It turns out that pulling good delicious shots is much easier than I thought it would be! And the results are also much better than in any coffee shop around. Calibrating for the bottomless portafilter is easy and I actually never use the pressurized one that comes with the Neo... The Neo does a great job, but you might as well get the classic and then have a slightly sturdier version and also get a cool case. Also - the classic can be further upgraded than the Neo (to the Pro 2)... Make sure to preheat the brewing chamber. A temperature gauge helps! And pair with a good grinder (I am using KingGrinder K4). I have pulled over 100 cups so far and it's easy and great. Pros: Excellent coffee, minimal space on your counter Cons: you can only do a single: ~15gr coffee in, and ~35gr out. Good for beginners, but mind that you can't run more water than that through the machine. ... show more

  • Inexpensive intro to espresso at home
Size: NEO Color: Grey
What I like: Inexpensive entry into espresso at home. Makes good espresso if you take the time to learn the art of espresso making. Compact and doesn't take up any counter space if you take it apart and put it away after use. Plenty of room to use a scale, especially if you don't use the "drip tray". You can take the small plastic pressure restrictor out and have a non-pressurized basket. Upgrade items such as bottomless basket and pressure guage are available and not very expensive. What I don't like: Cleanup is a bit of a hassle. Drip tray is just a platform, don't bother using it. Put a kitchen towel under the Flair and keep a small cup handy for drips instead. It takes a bit of practice to get it right, but when you do you'll have great espresso. ... show more
