Some people complain about the work going into getting a cup of espresso with a manual machine but they never consider how much easier they are to clean and maintain.

One thing I haven't heard anyone mention is the fact that with an espresso machine needs to be maintained weekly with descaling and cleaning. It seems like with the flair, all you need to do is rinse everything out and you're done. For that reason i've been leaning more towards getting a flair over a normal espresso brewer.

I have an older Gaggia Classic but i am looking for other options, including the Flair. Thanks for this video!

Your content helped me decide to buy a flair 58, thank you so much. I put off buying an espresso maker for yeeeears because I saw what the rabbit hole was like, didn't want to drain my bank account at the time, but didn't to waste 100s of dollars on a machine that was going to frustrate me and that I really wasn't in love with. Fast forward to now, I was thinking about the Mara X, but then I saw the Flair 58. I want to explore outside my coffee comfort zone and expand my palate and be able to perfect lighter roast shots hence my need for pre-infusion and pressure profiling. The Mara X would have been an additional 300 for the flow control. I was considering the ECM Classika which included flow control out of the box for 1600 but then the wait for steam not being a HX... D: I realized at those price points I wasn't fully in love with either nor did I really want to wait for pre-heating times and steaming down times back to back. For less than a third of those prices you get a machine in the Flair that gives full pre-infusion and pressure control, something that not even every machine worth 1000s can even do out of the box. I'm going to spend the coming year with my Flair to find out if I'll hate myself for not getting a semi-automatic, or if I'll want to go with a beautiful lever like the copper Elektra, or maybe I'll never want another machine after this? Can't wait to find out :)

Awesome video again Kyle!

Nice video. I always love the quality of your content. Maybe the cost is similar but hugely different styles of machines with vastly different features. One thing I keep hearing from people is when entering into espresso it becomes a hobby not just a coffee. It takes work to make good cups of coffee and various tools like grinders, tampers, and accessories to help take it to the next level. For this comparison is really becomes a question if you want to make milk drinks. If Yes go with Gaggia..simple as that. If you are just getting into the coffee scene there is tons of room to grow and resale is pretty good to when you want to upgrade you can quickly and easily ORRR if you want you pick up other more specialty machines like the F58 to accessorize your coffee bar.

I have the Pro2 and I love it, even though it does have some flaws which the 58 seems to address. Regardless of the flaws, what I love most about the Flair is how quickly I can get an espresso shot out. I have a thermopot on standby so I can get hot water instantaneously. I heat the brew head on the stove while I grind and tamper the shot. Clean up is ridiculously quick - dump the waste, rinse out the basket and the shield and you're done. I can make a latte in 7 minutes including clean up. For the milk I use electric frother with manual temperature control which yields surprisingly good foam.

On the note of milk drinks and the Flair, it’s worth mentioning that you could buy a cheap milk frother for a few extra bucks. Sure, you won’t get the microfoam needed to make latte art, but it’ll work. Or you could spend some more money on something like the nanofoamer.

I am excited that this will give me control on temperature, pressure, 58mm portafilter and easy to clean and maintain. Yes it’s expensive but at this price range could not find anything that checked all my requirements. I saw how to mod gaggia for temp control and did not feel comfortable opening up a $450 machine.

Sorry, coming late to this conversation. Thank you for your wonderful service to the coffee community. I have a dilemma similar to the one presented here but with higher stakes machines. Something like the Elektra al vs the Bezzera Magica or even the La Marzocco LM. Taking everything into account, including costs and consistency, how do they compare?

Excellent video. One thing I'd like to add that I feel didn't get enough attention is the Flair's (a most good manual expresso machines) ability to save a shot by adjusting the pressure and time you are putting into the shot for the extraction. I feel like I have a lot more flexibility in what I am doing with my Flair. It's an amazing entry point for espresso in the sense that you get to really learn a lot more by being very involved in the creation of the shot.

Kyle would you do a video on the best ( and must have ) equipment to join it with the Flair 58 ? I am thinking about distribution tools, tempers and mat, filtrer basket maybe too, to kinda upgrade the flair 58. I should receive mine on July as many people and I never get into expresso at home so some suggestions about tools would make a great video I think !

Love your videos. I have been learning so much! I think I would go with the Flair 58. Code word ‘Distribution’

So relevant picks. Commenting after the video came up a second time. I agree the first thing to know is if someone likes light/medium/dark roasts, and what flavors. Then choose a grinder: a good conical like the Niche w/ Mazzer/Gorilla burrs or the better manuals (Helor, Bplus, 1Zpresso, Comandante etc) - or a good flat burrs machine w/ SSP red or coated Ti burrs. Then, depending on your puck preparing skills and frothing needs, choose an espresso machine. For me, the ability to completely control the pressure profile, and not having to pay for rotary pumps makes direct manual lever machines a preferred choice. Temperature was an issue with the Flair Pro (but not an issue with dark roasts), but the Flair 58 addressed that, albeit in a rough manner (I'd prefer more temperature levels on the controller). As with the Flair Pro, maybe it's wise to wait for the 2nd version of the 58, but this already looks near-perfect to me. The Flair Nanofoamer takes care of the milk. The total cost of the Flair 58 + Nanofoamer + Lunar + Stagg is about the price of a decent midrange espresso machine and half of the Bianca (which looks way much better, I have to admit). As for back to back shots, I don't see why it would be slower than with the Bianca, it depends, but I take your stance on it, the setup and the workflow is simpler with the Bianca.

Another great video, hoping to win that Flair 58, keep it up Kyle.

I like both. I think I would pick the Gaggia. For around $300-$400 you can mod it to include a PID, flow control, and pressure gauge to get a similar control with the Flair. Plus, you would have the ability to steam. Those are things you can add whenever you feel like it and your budget allows. The Flair is definitely cool. I would love to have both, but if I could only pick one it’d be the Gaggia for ease of use.

But now I seem to be having more difficulty finding upgradables for it (a PID would be awesome, so would an OPV). Any help steering me in the right direction would be awesome. [Also, a little FYI - some of us espresso lovers / home baristas don’t have a choice but to stay clear of the manuals; I have sustained such heavy spine damage that I can neither lift my arm high enough to grab the handle (of a Flair, for instance) if it’s sitting at countertop height, nor do I have the strength the pull anywhere close to the right bar levels.]

What would you recommend milk frother

What grinder do you like

could't we change the pressure profile in gaggia by opening up the steaming wand valver and deviating the flow rate, thus hacking a lower pressure, and as we pull the shot, we can close valve.

Solis Barista Perfetta kicks the Gaggia to the curb. 54mm pf, which I don’t think is such a big deal, but very nice accessories and works great out of the box. 40 sec heat time, ability to program in manual preferences, small footprint…awesome value price/performance.

Me : so much should I buy? Kyle : YES

I’ve only had my GCP for a week, but it gets very hot in about ten minutes!

I really get better espresso with my Flair's (Pro2 and 58) than on my semi-automatic ECM machines. throw in a nanofoamer for milky drinks and you have exceptional quality for a moderate budget. I agree a good grinder is needed to get the most out of it.
