Thanks for the praise! T-shirt is a one-off for now but we agree we need to get those printed!

If it's the PRO, definitely. If it's one of the others, we would say unnecessary

Hopefully you've written to our support department for assistance with this. If not, service@flairespresso.com

I wish I read this (and many similar) comment earlier. This is exactly what I have here. I terribly wanted to have a Flair model thinking and weighing all pros and cons about each one they had except for the Pro 2. Since my burr grinder is basic but proudly capable enough to provide suitable grinds for delicious cups of V60, AeroPress and other alternative methods of brewing and can also grind fine enough for an espresso (the caveats would be lack of uniformity of grinds and too few steps in the range, I bet), I decided to do for the Neo. I thought the famous pressurized portafilter would do the trick, and the looks are just great (sorry Signature line). Well, mine never made a good, even an ok shot--the coarser grind already had it choked while making it impossible to get pressure enough to make an espresso (I'm pushing the lever with just one finger!). Long story short, the thing tends to choke no matter what is getting inside, and all I'm doing is maintenance and cleaning following all the Flair's support advices. I thought, maybe I have made a terrible mistake ordering the lowest model, and should have had less pretty but more professional Signature (which turns out to be significantly cheaper if you count the money spent on at least 3 accessories for your basic model), but still am frustrated and don't think it should be approached unless at least a Baratza Sette 270 is waiting there on the countertop. The support was of no help. They now suggest an option I'm considering but not sure yet, if it's worth it. I really wanted to love this thing 😑

it's no longer available on amazon :(

Fine sand with a little grit you can feel between your fingers

You will need a plastic adapter ring for holder, the entire brew head as well as a tamper. Send an email and we'll explain more service@flairespresso.com

grinding "fine enough" is only one part of the equation. Virtuoso+ and Encore come with only 40 grind setting adjustments which most will tell you are too few to have on hand to dial in your espresso to taste

bit.ly/BrewWithFlair you'll find that and more. lots of great options shared. you only need to search for a funnel that fits the opening on your kettle. 3.5" works for the Stagg, 2.5" for Bonavita and Brewista

@@FlairEspresso Thank you very much :)

right here! www.customink.com/designs/dyepull/vas0-00cc-bunh

Try one full rotation + 1-2 clicks from where you notice burrs lock up

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9BhrZyXsLHWh3U.html speaks to you your compatibility question but it sounds like your unit has the older spouted design (non-removable) and also is pre-PRO design and therefore not compatible with PRO brew head

@@FlairEspresso hey, thanks for the link. I have the Signature with the copper portafilter base; should be compatible with the PRO head, yes?

@@raymondgoodman9148 if you have the Signature, you have the removable spout. It's the only way it was ever sold. Watch the video we provided a link to and pay attention to the removable black plastic ring that adapts the brew base to smaller brew heads. You don't have one we're guessing which would mean you can't use the bigger pro head

@@FlairEspresso thank you, and you are correct re: the reducer ring & lol, looks like i needed to try a little harder, that spout came off with some extra effort, (is much cleaner now) great product and customer service all the way 'round.

Great way to dip your toe into the roasting waters

yes indeed

Wow, thank you 🙏😁

Travel with an immersion heater and double wall tumbler. All you need is an outlet

generally speaking, tamping force will not "choke" that was ground properly. you need to grind coarser. bit.ly/BrewWithFlair

Search canning or silicone funnel on your favorite e-commerce site

@@FlairEspresso I’m afraid going to Slovakia or other EU countries is not an option so I’ll be looking into buying it off Amazon via Nova Poshta to try out the Neo model first. If only you had distributors in Ukraine. Thanks so much for the reply though! Great stuff, guys!

​@@FlairEspresso Guys, could you please set my mind at rest? I'm about to order a black Signature model off Amazon, but I see quite a few verified reviews with people complaining that they received used Flairs with dents, scratches, dirt, and/or missing parts. I don't doubt your honesty, but is it possible that your warehouse staff would send a damaged model to Ukraine because it's so far away? I probably won't be able to return it as it's going to be too expensive for me, given that I'm a simple Ukrainian espresso-obsessed fella.

@@serjherman thanks for giving us a chance to explain the circumstances surrounding these reviews. We are the manufacturer and seller but fulfillment is by Amazon. When a customer returns a product for a refund, Amazon FBA alone determines whether the product can be resold "as new" or must be sent back to us as unsellable. We have explicitly asked them to send all returns back to us but they claim it's up to their sole discretion. That said, we believe the number of affected customers is quite small, but those customers are most likely to write negative reviews to warn others. Sadly they blame us, the manufacturer/seller despite the fact that we ourselves want this stopped. The only way we can guarantee you do not become a victim of their selling practices is to order direct from our website www.flairespresso.com

​@@FlairEspresso *_Amazon. Amazon never changes_* Thank you for your detailed, sincere reply. Honestly, I would've made an order via Flair Espresso website in a heartbeat but ordering direct shipments to Ukraine without an intermediary shipment agency like NPShopping, which works only with Amazon and a handful of other e-commerce platforms, and dealing with our customs personally is a very risky and costly endeavor. UPS Ukraine is in an abysmal state too so it's a no-go. I guess I have some weighing in to do, but I'll be risking either way. But hey, on the off chance I do get a used Flair, I'll be sure to leave a 5* review with an explanation, sticking it to the man (hopefully, that won't be necessary, haha). Once again, you've knocked it out of the park with excellent customer service. Thank you for spending your time to shine a light on some things that were bothering me. Cheers!

Welcome. And welcome bit.ly/BrewWithFlair

Yes

bit.ly/BrewWithFlair you can search them all out

PRO is limited to about 14-16 grams on the low end. If you want to brew low doses like that, stick with the Signature, Classic or NEO
