Flair 49 Pro Espresso Maker

Built for hands-on espresso brewing, the Flair 49 Pro Espresso Maker is a fully manual lever machine designed to give you direct control over pressure, flow and extraction. Using a 49mm portafilter system and an all stainless steel brew path, it delivers cafe-quality espresso in a compact setup without relying on pumps or electronics.

The lever-driven design provides real-time feedback throughout the shot, allowing you to build and adjust pressure as you extract. Unlike traditional machines, this puts the entire brewing process in your hands, from pre-infusion through to final yield. The integrated pressure gauge supports this by giving clear visual feedback, helping you refine technique and repeat results more consistently over time.

The 49mm basket design plays a key role in how the machine performs in use. Its deeper puck increases resistance and improves water distribution, making it more forgiving when dialling in grind size and reducing the risk of channelling. It also performs well at lower doses, while still producing espresso with noticeable body and texture. This makes it easier to achieve balanced results without requiring perfect grind precision.
