Designed for passionate home baristas, this premium espresso maker delivers café-quality results with complete extraction control—without electronics or plastic in the brew path.

Whether you’re perfecting your grind or experimenting with extraction profiles, this manual espresso machine gives you total brewing freedom at an accessible price.

WHY THE 49MM PORTAFILTER BASKET MATTERS

The “Flair 49 PRO” introduces a 49 mm espresso basket, a classic design originally popularized in the 1960s and now making a strong comeback among specialty coffee enthusiasts.

Benefits include:

– More forgiving grind size – the deeper basket allows greater tolerance when dialing in your grind

– Reduced channeling – a narrower puck improves extraction consistency

– Ideal for lower doses – brew balanced shots with just 12–14 grams of coffee

– Richer espresso body – increased resistance enhances body and mouthfeel

This design makes the Flair 49 PRO a powerful tool for improving espresso quality at home.

BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE AND SIMPLICITY

– No disassembly between shots – the fixed cylinder and piston system with stainless steel valve plunger allows fast, efficient workflow

– All stainless steel brew path – no plastic touches your water or coffee, ensuring pure flavor

– Optimized heat retention – the stainless steel brew head heats quickly and maintains stable temperature; the hollow plunger improves thermal efficiency

TWO PORTAFILTER BASKETS FOR EVERY SKILL LEVEL

The “Flair 49 PRO” includes two baskets to suit every stage of your espresso journey:

– Pressurized basket – ideal for beginners, pre-ground coffee, or use without a high-end grinder

– Bottomless basket – perfect for advanced users seeking full control and visual feedback

This flexibility makes it one of the most versatile manual espresso makers for home use.

TOTAL BREWING CONTROL WITH A LEVER SYSTEM

As a fully manual espresso machine, the “Flair 49 PRO” gives you hands-on control over every variable:

– Pre-infusion

– Pressure buildup

– Flow rate

– Extraction pressure (typically 6–9 BAR)

The elongated lever with ergonomic T-grip ensures precise and consistent pressure control for true espresso extraction.

INTEGRATED PRESSURE GAUGE FOR PRECISION BREWING

The built-in pressure gauge provides real-time feedback, allowing you to monitor and adjust your brewing profile instantly. Dial in your perfect shot and achieve consistent, café-quality espresso every time.

MORE THAN AN ESPRESSO MACHINE – A TRUE BREWING EXPERIENCE

Brewing with the “Flair 49 PRO” is fully tactile and immersive. By manually controlling the lever, you feel every stage of extraction—bringing you closer to your coffee and making each shot more rewarding.
