Flair Espresso Neo Flex Manual Espresso Maker 2024, Refurbished – Black

Simple, affordable espresso brewed in two ways.

“NEO Flex” is the newest addition to the Flair family of espresso makers, and will replace the original “NEO” moving forward. “Flex” has been designed as the simplest, most affordable way to brew a quality cup of espresso. This was done by swapping the metal frame for polycarbonate, all without losing performance.

In contrast to the original “NEO”, “Flex” features two standard portafilters: “Flow-Control” and “Bottomless 2-in-1”. As a result, users are allowed to choose a brewing experience focused on either convenience or control, all while improving their espresso skills.

PERFECT FOR ESPRESSO BEGINNERS

The two brewing methods provide the ability to start simple and grow with the system as home baristas get more comfortable.

AFFORDABLE HOME ESPRESSO

Most espresso makers capable of brewing café-quality coffee cost a lot of money, while more affordable options don’t actually produce real espresso. “NEO Flex” is different though. It’s perfect for passionate coffee connoisseurs on a budget.

THE PLEASURE OF HANDCRAFTING YOUR ESPRESSO

Brewing espresso with “NEO Flex” is an experience all by itself. Feel the satisfaction of lowering the lever and watching espresso flow into your cup.

CHEAPER THAN CAFÉS

Brewing at home with “NEO Flex” is a great way to reduce your spending! You’ll save as much as 50% compared to the same beverage from Starbucks.

EXCELLENT BASE FOR MILK-BASED BEVERAGES

Do you love lattes and cappuccinos? It’s hard to get the real thing without first brewing a great cup of espresso though. Luckily, “NEO Flex” provides an excellent base for all of your milk-based beverages.

WHAT DOES BREWING WITH “NEO FLEX” REQUIRE?

“NEO Flex” was designed as the simplest way to brew café-quality espresso at home, which is why home baristas using the “NEO Flex” model need no specialised equipment. To brew with “NEO Flex”, you’ll need:

– A kettle to boil water with (a temperature-controlled kettle will result in more precision, but it isn’t necessary)

– Freshly roasted coffee beans (for the best results, ground your coffee beans freshly)

– A burr coffee grinder (bladed grinders produce inferior results, but high-end burr grinders aren’t necessary either—just use the “”Flow-Control”” portafilter to obtain an excellent cuppa)

– NOTE: when using the “Bottomless 2-in-1” portafilter, an espresso grinder of a higher quality is required

IS “NEO FLEX” RIGHT FOR ME?

“NEO Flex” is perfect for anyone looking to start brewing espresso at home in a way that’s both simple and affordable. It’s suited great for aspiring home baristas who are searching for their very first espresso machine. You’ll also appreciate “NEO Flex” if you’re on a search for a convenient method of brewing café-quality espresso at home. Have you been curious about espresso for a while now? Then the “NEO Flex” model is a great place to start learning more about it!
