Using a pressure gauge

You can achieve the perfect espresso using the Flair 58 coffee machine by combining the right grind, the right pressure, and the right brewing time.

It all starts with the right grind and a sufficient amount of coffee, which creates resistance to achieve the desired pressure and brewing time. “Flairists” who have mastered the technique will prepare an espresso at a pressure of between 6 and 9 BAR in between 30-45 seconds. Your Flair 58 is equipped with a pressure gauge to help ensure that your espresso is always to your specifications. Use the following table to help you with the settings

Cleaning and maintenance

When used properly, your Flair 58 will require minimal cleaning. Always make sure that the preheating system of your Flair 58 is turned off and your brew head has cooled down before cleaning. Never immerse or wash the entire brew head in water.

  1. Remove the plunger by pulling out the stem while the brewing cylinder is installed on the base.
  2. Use a damp cloth to wipe the inside and bottom of the head. Also wipe the plunger.
  3. For a more thorough cleaning, rinse with cold water before wiping.

Do not clean any parts of the Flair coffee machine in the dishwasher.
