Flair Neo

NEO Flex relaunches in 2024 with two important updates: an integrated pressure gauge and a thin brewing cylinder that does not require preheating.

Together with Flex two portafilters, for convenience and control, and Flex high-strength, ultra-light frame, there is no better espresso machine for beginners on the market.

NEO Flex Integrated Pressure Gauge – Every NEO Flex comes with a custom pressure gauge. Use the gauge to understand the force you apply to the lever and if you are brewing in the Espresso zone.

No Preheating Thin-Walled Cylinder – The brewing cylinder in NEO Flex has been redesigned to remove 100 grams of stainless steel. This reduction in thermal mass means no preheating is required before brewing. Just add boiling water and lower the lever. This is a huge improvement in workflow!

Flair NEO Flex Product Description

NEO Flex is the perfect combination of affordability and capability, a true home espresso machine for everyone. NEO Flex is a fully manual lever machine. The frame is constructed from a high-strength, ultra-light polymer blend and it comes with two different portafilters, Flow-Control and Bottomless 2-in-1, to ensure that every home barista can brew just the way they want.

Flow-Control Portafilter – Perfect for espresso beginners, Flow-Control Portafilter has a restricted output port, which means the portafilter builds up the pressure required for an espresso extraction. No adjustment needed – just simple espresso brewing.

Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter – Perfect when espresso brewers are ready to further control their extraction. This portafilter requires a high-quality espresso-capable grinder, but it means that home baristas can control the variables for each shot and ensure their espresso meets their exact standards.

Additionally included is a dosing cup, funnel, and preheating cap. NEO Flex is compatible with the pressure gauge kit.

What is needed to brew with NEO Flex?

NEO Flex is designed to be the easiest way to brew café-quality espresso at home. Home baristas using NEO Flex need no specialized equipment, which is required for other Flair models.

To effectively brew with NEO Flex you need:

• Access to a kettle to boil water – a temperature-controlled kettle provides more precision, but is not necessary

• Access to freshly ground coffee beans – pre-ground coffee does not provide the best results

• A coffee grinder – blade grinders do not give good results – but expensive grinders are not necessary for NEO Flex brewing with Flow-Control portafilter, any grinder will work!

• NOTE: When using Bottomless 2-in-1 portafilter, a high-quality espresso grinder is needed.
