Recently, 49mm baskets have seen a resurgence among specialty coffee enthusiasts for offering full body, rich texture, and forgiving compatibility with slightly coarser grinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Flair 49 PRO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flair 49 PRO is the latest in the PRO series, designed to give you absolute control over your extraction without any electronic components. Like Flair's other premium espresso makers, it is built from heavy-duty cast aluminium and stainless steel. The 49 PRO features a removable redwood-handled \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/portafilters-filter-baskets\" title=\"See our espresso portafilters\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eportafilter\u003c\/a\u003e. Since the 49mm basket is narrower and deeper than standard 58mm ones, water must travel through a longer column of coffee. This creates natural puck resistance, allowing you to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/coffee-grinders\" title=\"Find our coffee grinders here\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003egrind\u003c\/a\u003e slightly coarser which reduces the risk of channelling.

For those without an espresso grinder looking to experience the tactile ritual, the Flair 49 comes with a pressurised basket for pre-ground coffee beans (though we wouldn't recommend this approach) as well as a straight-walled bottomless basket for freshly ground coffee. While brewing with any manual espresso machine has a learning curve, once a user is familiar with the workflow, the Flair 49 PRO only requires ground coffee and hot water.
