About the Brand
About
Flair Espresso is dedicated to providing espresso lovers with the ability to handcraft café-quality espresso from their homes, or wherever they may be, with a lineup of manual espresso makers and milk steamers. We pride ourselves on the simplicity of our products, the control they give customers wishing to truly manage all the variables in the brewing process, and the quality of espresso produced - rivaling the extractions from any café.
Founding Story
The original Flair Espresso Maker was born from the heart of an espresso lover and inventor who asked the question, “What is the minimum needed to make a great espresso at home?” Dozens of prototypes later, much of the complexity found in high-end espresso machines had been eliminated, leaving a simple, elegant, and affordable product that had one purpose: to handcraft cafe-quality espresso from anywhere.
Originally launched on Kickstarter, Flair Espresso now boasts a product portfolio of five different espresso makers, and is proud to offer the option of affordable, at-home espresso - that can rival anything brewed on a commercial machine - to people at any stage of their espresso journey, from beginners to expert baristas.
