In a world that is all about speed, efficiency, digital technology and automation, it's kind of surprising that a brand like Flair Espresso exists. While the rest of the world is busy building networked interfaces and app control, Flair's founders have decided to go in the exact opposite direction. Instead of using digital technology, they have put the power to make great espresso back into the hands of the consumer, in a very literal sense.

Flair Espresso makes the world's most popular manual espresso makers. It started with one model, but today there is a whole range, designed to suit every budget and use case. They all have some important things in common though: no digital technology, and a completely tactile, hands-on espresso-making experience.

Flair's beautifully designed products are not just a manual alternative to the electric espresso machine, however; they offer the user complete control of the extraction process in a way that most consumer espresso machines don't. Not only can you control dose, yield and time; with a Flair Espresso Maker, you can use your hands to control the all-important espresso variable: pressure. With the benefit of the precision-engineered built-in levers, Flair Espresso Makers let you control, adjust and vary extraction pressure, which means you can perfect your espresso in a whole new way.

Flair Espresso Makers shouldn't be seen a more affordable replacement for the equivalent traditional espresso machine, even if they are that. Instead, they should be seen as tools that empower home baristas to craft espresso with unrivalled control. They're not about ease-of-use or push-button convenience, but rather a way for you to invest in learning a craft and be rewarded with delicious results resulting from proper dedication and attention to detail.
