GO: Portable, Collapsible Lever Espresso Machine for 9BAR Espresso Anywhere (Grounds Model)

Excelente producto

It does take a little bit to learn it but it makes a great crema shot. It’s simple to setup and use even though there seems to be a lot of components. We do suggest using a good digital scale and finer grind than usual. We compared the shot in cappuccino form and it may beat the $1K machine we use. It will be perfect for travel and maybe even home!

Nice machine for travel compact and easy to use. Younwill.need to preheat..flavor was better using grounds rather b than pods not enough coffee in the pods.They are a easier to use. My first project was with using grounds ground too fine so that they plugged the filter. I ha to use both hands and my body to get it through. No sign of weakness in the fram. Good job.

good, portable as said.

This has been my best travel and camping espresso option found so far.

Cumple con lo indicado en el producto, es práctico y de buena calidad

Anyone who has shown interest in making espresso at home has no doubt heard of Flair as one of the many brands associated with manual espresso machines. Their newest product iterate on their popular line of manual lever espresso machines by making an ultra-portable machine capable of brewing authentic espresso with the same pressure found in commercial machines. You get the whole kit in a nice carrying case which comes with custom molded inserts for storing every component easily. The machine itself consist of the frame as well as the brew head, consisting of a removeable brew funnel, the brew head and basket, a water chamber, and the piston with pressure gauge. The components all come together and stay together using a variety of o-rings fitted along the pieces and this in conjunction with the fine espresso grind forms a seal that can be pushed down with the lever. With the appropriate grind and dose, you can push down with consistent pressure, maintaining 6-9 bars of pressure, to brew authentic espresso, yielding a shot from about fifteen grams of coffee. The espresso will have a rich crema with a full bodied flavor and an appealing flavor that coats the mouth and lasts for minutes. Afterwards, you can easily clean the machine by taking apart the brew mechanism and disposing of the used grounds. Rinse and scrub in water, avoiding soap when you can to prevent off tastes. Overall, I was super impressed with the sort of quality you can achieve even without a machine. Although it does take more work, the ultra-portable design is appealing for the most discerning coffee enthusiast looking to get quality coffee wherever they can. At only 200, it offers a competitive value compared to cheaper semi-automatic machines which can fail to achieve the same sort of pressure good old elbow grease can get you.

Initially my review of this product was not so great, but after tinkering with it for a while, I am impressed with it and it is fun to use for anybody who likes tinkering and dialing in
