Excellent machine but it is for enthusiasts. The espresso is really high quality, comparable to the ones we drink in good shops. It is easy to use. Watch some videos on youtube to learn how it works. It is good to have your own grinder and not buy ground coffee. Cleaning it is very easy.

Perfect budget machine for good espresso. The options are this or the Flair Neo Flex. I chose this one because I can travel easily with it.

The service of the store is impeccable and the products have the perfect result. The coffee is in every way much better than many others that are available outside.

Perfect in every way. From customer support, packaging and personal dedication on the package. I will definitely buy from you again.

Primarily bought for work - every day great coffee in a different place. But I use and learn with it at home. You should also think about a good grinder that has a fine setting between the cranks.

An excellent machine. Makes a quality espresso. I recommend.

+ Compactness

Even nicer than on the web, beautiful, elegant and functional, it was a gift for a friend and he was very happy!!!

In the quality of the espresso, the leap between automatic machines is gigantic. at last I have a thick, "syrupy" espresso instead of brown water ;) The fact that it took me quite a while to select and sample the various components of the process. Sometimes, not quite sure why, the water leaks out the sides for me, but fortunately this rarely happens. overall, for the money, PETARDA!!! :)

Almost everything has already been written in the reviews about this coffee machine, so after about 100 cups of experimentation I will add a few observations:

1) a quality grinder is the alpha omega (I myself use the J-Ultra from 1Zpresso)
2) Preheating is necessary (cups, strainers, shower screen) - ideally before grinding coffee pour hot water into the container (without this the coffee is lukewarm from my point of view, Flair 2 Pro users will understand me)
3) Preinfusion is not an empty word - exactly after 8-9 presses I leave a 5-10 sec pause - I noticed that then the coffee flows better (channeling)
4) I bought a 12g strainer, from 18g the espresso is already 1:2 strong and you can enjoy several cups a day: ). If you make coffee from 12g with a 12g strainer, be prepared that the coffee can easily fall over, you need to be careful when brewing. I also use a better needle distributor from WDT - highly recommended (the original one is just a piece of wire).
If you pick up all the nuances, I dare say you will make a cafe quality espresso (rather better than the average cafe).
