Great quality espresso maker. On par with my top of the range machine, without all the maintenance requirements needed, and very easy to keep clean. Takes very little space on the bench. Very clever little updated espresso maker. I don't know if it's an upgrade or downgrade to the very expensive machine. It's very fun to use to experiment with flow profiles, water etc.. Thats if you like more control. And definitely makes a perfect well rounded espresso easily. Very impressive. 5 stars all the way. It's a keeper for sure!

I actually use this at home as my main espresso maker, coming from a Breville Dual Boiler. There are other options for automatic pressure profiling devices, however getting the instant feedback when pulling a shot with a manual lever is extremely helpful.Workflow is brilliant compared to other manual espresso makers. My only complaint is that the heating element seems to be positioned at the top of the water chamber. Maybe there's some engineering reason for that, however I would have thought putting the element toward the bottom of the chamber would have resulted in more even heating through the water.

It's a little early for me to make a full review, but so far I'm thrilled with the Flair 58x. The construction seems very solid, the design is aesthetically beautiful, and the operation is very smooth. I've been using the Flair Neo with upgrades; having a standard 58mm portafilter is great, and just in general this is a superior product. The kettle-top steam heating is an excellent feature. This is clearly a more advanced system than the Neo, which I am loving and eager to learn more as time goes on. But basically, every cup I've brewed so far has been from pretty good to great -- it's more forgiving than I anticipated. If I have reservations, they would be: (1) the attached funnel on the brew head catches too easily on the arm when you are installing the brew head; ... MoreIt's a little early for me to make a full review, but so far I'm thrilled with the Flair 58x.

I didn't want electricity, and since I don't have to remove the chamber each time, I like pre-heating it with hot water just like I used to do with my flair pro 2, which has now gone to a very grateful and appreciative student. It is a lovely machine, looks and function. I swapped out the group head for the famous Italian made one people know about - but honestly the original was impressive enough. I got a leveler tool (one that looks like a tamper) which I like, I don't bother with WDT, I don't see any difference and it looks and feels silly to do it in my opinion. Only concern so far is the lovely silicone mat (ie drip tray) seems to be hard to clean, any recommendations on how to get it new looking? A solution, or a brush? A sponge doesn't seem to work and just ... MoreI didn't want electricity, and since I don't have to remove the chamber each time, I like pre-heating it with hot water just like I used to do with my flair pro 2, which has now gone to a very grateful and appreciative student.

A sponge doesn't seem to work and just from a few drips of espresso it seems to stay somewhat marked, even when I wash and dry it, once it dries out, you still see stains.
Like Father Hoffman said, itâs frustratingly close to outstanding. I have one issue with the 58x but itâs still definitely worth the 5 stars! If you have good beans, good water, and good puck prep, this will rival or exceed your local shop's espresso. The issue I run into regularly is when I finish extracting, Iâll lift the arm back up and the pressure gauge/plunger slips out of place. Itâs very easy to fix the issue, but itâs something I wish I wouldnât have to do in one out of four or five shots. All things considered, I couldnât recommend the Flair 58x more!
I really donât understand why people cut this machine so much slack. Itâs an incredibly fiddly thing to use. I understand for some thatâs part of the charm. You have to dial the grind in perfectly. If you change coffee, start again. You need a fair bit of strength to operate it. And you need the patience of a saint. But you shouldnât have to be an engineer too! From an mechanical standpoint itâs a disaster waiting to happen. There are no bearings or bushings on the pivot points. Mine didnât even get grease! And theyâre under serious pressure due to the lever mechanism. Everything wobbles - up to 15mm at the handle! Nothing lines up. Itâs all very reliant on several seals which are in constant danger of being damaged by the slop. Iâve had a couple of surprise ... MoreI really donât understand why people cut this machine so much slack. Itâs an incredibly fiddly thing to use. I understand for some thatâs part of the charm.

Itâs all very reliant on several seals which are in constant danger of being damaged by the slop. Iâve had a couple of surprise explosions, been scalded and generally put up with stuff that I would never dream of from a commercial machine. Even when everythingâs going great, you have to disassemble the thing regularly to reorientate the main piston (impossible when hot so hereâs hoping youâre not in the middle of brewing when it happens). It turns around by itself, again because of all the slop in the mechanism, and apparently thatâs just something you have to live with - known fault, they even include a tool. I mean, why not just fix it? Last night was a bit of a final straw for me. There was a loud bang and the hook had unsurprisingly slipped off its axle. It was under pressure as I was pushing down at the time, so there was enough force to give me a big surprise and bend the thing. I spent a good half hour trying to put it right this morning before I decided that no coffee on earth is worth the hassle of this barely workable prototype. Iâve asked if I got one made in Friday. But no. The wonkiness is just part of its makeup. Coffee nerds will defend it to the death (especially seeing as theyâve dropped nearly $1000 on it and donât want to look silly). Theyâll say youâre not doing it right. But I say a coffee machine at this price should not require hacks or fixes or hours of experimenting and tinkering and Youtube videos - just to knock out a morning brew. And before you ask âwhyâd you buy it then?â it was a gift. Which has made my constant struggles with it rather awkward. If were up to me, Iâd have demanded a refund and been happy to see the back of it.
I would argue it is a bit expensive but it works precisely as designed once you get used to using it. I would urge new espresso enthusiasts to do their reading and find out what's right for them as newcomers. Once you get deep into the world of espresso, however, you'll eventually want more control. You have the choice then of a highly electronic unit or, if you're like me, a highly manual one. The right roast with the flair 58x is a game changer in terms of taste and control. If money is tight I would consider an electronic espresso "machine." Once you get through trial and error with that, though, and decide espresso is a "love" not a "like" I would consider a Flair 58x.The length of the lever arm makes pulling shots less intensive.The quality of the parts and ... MoreI would argue it is a bit expensive but it works precisely as designed once you get used to using it.

Fantastic once dialed in. Expensive but worth it.
This espresso maker was purchased specifically to build out a low/0 electricity espresso bar for use while camping, but the espresso this has been making far exceeds anything I had been pulling at home previously. So much so that within the first week of ownership I ordered out some spare (and very reasonably priced) portafilters and puck screens to speed up my traveling workflow! The build quality is fantastic, the use is intuitive and satisfying, the coffee is great, and not for nothing the Flair 58x just looks good on a coffee bar! Finally, a shout out to the rapid, direct, and personalized support received from Flairâs customer service department in the run up to my purchase. They were prompt, helpful and informative every step of the way!
Iâm fond of manual lever espresso makers. I prefer them for couple of reasons. Quietness, reliability, full control and low-cost maintenance. Before I own flair 58x, I enjoyed preparing espresso using one of the portable espresso makers. It used to be nice, but sometimes I get really bad extracted espresso with even doing everything right. As for flair 58x, it was challenging at first, tried different grinding sizes until I made my first perfect shot. To be honest, Flair 58x was built to make espresso great every single day!
Flair has opened a whole new world for me. I expect to use the Flair 58 for many years to come - so far it has proven to be a great investment. I really feel like I'm getting the most out of the roasts I've been buying. So so many ways to dial in and enjoy great shots.I purchased the 58x and I have no regrets about opting for the non-electric model. Heating the brew chamber over my kettle before pulling shots has proven to be an easy step in my workflow. I have found the entire process to be quite enjoyable - ministering even to the deepest recesses of my soul.The investment in the flair 58 and a capable grinder (I chose the manual 1zpresso J pro) may seem intimidating, but it promises to be a lasting, well-thought investment for espresso enthusiasts.Highly ... MoreFlair has opened a whole new world for me.
