We see posts and reviews from customers and aficionados around the world daily, and the question keeps coming up: in the battle of Flair vs. Robot, which manual espresso maker should you choose?

Thankfully, the good people at Alternative Brewing, a powerhouse in the coffee world around Australia and the Pacific, decided to run their own test and reveal their results in this informative Youtube video, below.

While both espresso makers are very capable, and customers should pick which is best for their own needs, this reviewer at AB personally chose the Flair due to a lower price point and the ability to travel with our custom carrying case. Their synopsis of our Flair PRO 2 says:

“The Flair range has added value in this series by including the very best of features so you can achieve a premium espresso extraction with control and precision.

This espresso machine is elegantly designed, durably constructed, and empowering to espresso brewers & filter aficionados alike. This easy-to-use espresso maker can generate pressure to a style of espresso more commonly found in commercial espresso machines. It’s capable of producing full-flavored, full-bodied espresso; rich in crema.

Additions to the PRO 2 such as a stainless steel spout that clips on to the bottomless portafilter for a concentrated flow of espresso, silicone grips to the handle and pressure gauge for improved work flow and an enhanced-flow bottomless portafilter make this the superior espresso maker to take with you anywhere you want.”

And not to worry, while the users at AB don’t yet have our split spout, this is now part of our product line, launched in July, which allows Flair PRO 2 users to split each shot as desired.

No matter which you choose, you’ll be able to get delicious, real espresso. But the Flair’s expanded features and ability to travel at a lower price point make this decision a no-brainer for us!

It’s lonely at the top. That’s why we at Flair decided to give the Flair Signature, our flagship manual espresso maker, a bit of company. Starting February 22nd, the Flair family is growing to add the Signature Black to our portfolio of products.

Made from the same high-quality materials as all other Flair Espresso Makers, the Signature Black features a modern matte finish with the Signature’s premium copper-plated portafilter base. It’s an elegant compliment to the chrome of our original Signature, and provides discerning customers with the ability to keep a darker styling in their kitchens or at their coffee stations.

But, just as with most things at Flair, we decided to outdo ourselves. The launch of the Signature Black also coincides with the launch of our new Easy-Clean Portafilter. This improved portafilter features a removable spouted bottom that makes cleaning easier and faster. After brewing just remove the spout, rinse from both ends, and set aside to dry. 

The Easy-Clean Portafilter will come standard with every Signature Series Flair, truly elevating it to new levels of brewing greatness. But no matter which Flair you choose, you can feel confident in the same great espresso every time you lower the lever. 

We at Flair know espresso, and our Signature Black is one more way to Make Espresso Right.

The last couple of weeks have been very busy and exciting at Flair HQ. We launched a redesign of our website and two new products all in the span of a few days!

While the website’s new design is meant to be functional and efficient, providing prospective customers with all the Flair information they need, the real purpose of the redesign was to match the timeless beauty of the Flair Espresso Maker and the new products that were joining the lineup.

We still love the look of our original Flair, but it was clear that many of our customers would eagerly welcome an alternative to the black and red finish. If your kitchen is clad in stainless steel and an industrial metal look, you’ll really appreciate what we’ve done with the Flair Signature!

The Flair Signature is our flagship model of the Flair Espresso Maker. Featuring an all-metal, lustrous finish with copper accents the Signature will be the centerpiece of any kitchen. The Signature will come with a stainless steel tamper and can also be purchased as a bundle with an additional brewing head. At the end of the day, the same amazing performance and high quality espresso will be the end result no matter which model you choose, as the design and base materials are the same.

Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop. Stay tuned because we are not resting idly on our laurels knowing that we’ve already delivered a revolutionary product to the espresso world! We are hard at work on several other additions to the Flair ecosystem, and can’t wait to share with our Flair Family! Keep checking this space and check out our shop for details.
