Flair Espresso makes a whole range of impressive manual espresso makers and all of them are pretty portable but with the release of the new GO espresso maker, Flair has taken portability to a whole new level. With a high-quality collapsible frame, the Flair Go is the most compact and lightweight Flair yet, without compromising on its ability to make delicious espresso.

About Flair Espresso

Flair Espresso's mission is to encourage lovers of great coffee to slow down and make their beloved beverage by hand. Flair Espresso Makers aren't just manual equivalents of their traditional, electric counterparts. They are cleverly-engineered, fully analogue precision tools that allow a dedicated home barista to control every variable, including pressure, to make the perfect espresso.

About the Flair GO Espresso Maker

The Flair Go is Flair's most portable espresso maker yet. Even though many of Flair's models are pretty lightweight and compact, the Go is the only unit that folds up in a way that makes it compact enough to even throw in a backpack. Even better, you know it will survive any journey thanks to its high-quality all-metal build and the custom, molded carrying case that it comes with for extra protection.

In terms of functionality, the Flair Go is similar to the Flair Classic. It includes a no-preheat cylinder that is easy and convenient to brew with, with a slightly narrower aperture that ensures minimal channeling and optimal extraction. A pressure gauge comes as standard and the Go operates comfortably in the 6-9 bar pressure range you would want for delicious espresso.

The Flair Go also features some nice finishing touches, in addition to the carrying case. It comes with a perfectly-sized steel tamper, a dispersion screen, and a dosing funnel - the type of accessories one buys to pair with a high-end espresso setup. This makes the Flair Go the ultimate portable (and fully analogue) espresso package.
