My flair pro combined with a high end hand grinder has led me to never having a better espresso outside of my house. It's a decent amount of manual effort (start to finish time is about 10-15 minutes) but the only reason is to reduce that effort for the same quality.
- polishdude20 4y agoGot a flair as well and it pulls some great shots! The process is also kind of fun.
- explaininjs 4y agoThose are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers... down! After years of honing my flow, the TTE (time to espresso) is 6 minutes on gas, it'd probably be closer to 5 with an electric kettle. (I use a Comandante)
- tashoecraft 4y agoA quicker kettle would help. But triple heating the flair's chamber, then clean up and it's longer than I'd like for TTE.
- gabrielhidasy 4y agoThe trick is getting a kettle that fits the brew chamber on top, so it steams while the water boils, I use a bonavitta with a mesh strainer as it's mouth is a bit too wide, but it seems like the fellow is almost a perfect fit. https://www.reddit.com/r/FlairEspresso/comments/j53vy0/fellow_kettle_and_flair_pro_2_preheating_a_steamy/ https://www.reddit.com/r/FlairEspresso/comments/j53vy0/fello...
- explaininjs 4y agoAh, triple heating will take some time. I usually double heat if I'm brewing a bougie light, single otherwise. Sibling suggested heating the chamber with the kettle, in my experience that has caused the silicon wrapping to deteriorate.
