Flair 58 Plus 2 Professional Manual Espresso Maker

The Flair 58 Plus 2 Professional Manual Espresso Maker is Flair’s flagship manual lever espresso machine, created for home baristas who want a serious espresso setup without a traditional pump machine. Built around a professional 58mm workflow, it brings together manual lever control, an integrated preheat system, and a compact countertop footprint. It is made for brewers who enjoy the craft of espresso and want direct control over pressure, temperature, dose, and extraction.

What makes the Flair 58 Plus 2 special is its place as a modern cult classic among manual espresso enthusiasts. The Flair 58 platform has earned a strong following because it gives home brewers the ritual and feedback of lever espresso while solving many of the usual challenges of manual machines. With electric preheating, a standard 58mm portafilter, and real time pressure feedback, it feels familiar to users coming from café-style espresso equipment while still keeping the slow, intentional, hands-on experience that makes manual espresso so rewarding.

The Flair 58 Plus 2 is equipped with an integrated preheat controller to help maintain stable brewing temperatures across different roast profiles. Its 58mm portafilter system also opens up compatibility with a wide range of professional espresso accessories, making it easier to build a personalised workflow over time. The machine includes a walnut portafilter, walnut palm tamper, integrated pressure gauge, magnetic articulating shot mirror, puck screen, valve plunger, and both high and low-flow baskets. With a 16 to 20 g dose range, 90 ml water capacity, and up to 55 ml espresso yield, it supports a wide range of espresso recipes and brew ratios.

To care for the Flair 58 Plus 2, allow the brew head and portafilter to cool after use before removing the brewing parts. Empty the used coffee puck, then rinse the portafilter, basket, puck screen, and other coffee-contact components with clean water. Dry all parts fully before reassembling or storing the machine. Wipe the frame, lever, shot mirror, and base with a soft cloth when needed, and keep the preheat controller, wiring, and power supply dry at all times.
