Flair 49 Pro: Manual Espresso Maker

The Flair 49 PRO Manual Espresso Maker delivers true handcrafted espresso with complete control over every shot—without relying on electronics. Designed for both new and experienced home baristas, the 49 PRO combines Flair’s signature manual lever brewing experience with a deep 49mm portafilter system built for rich, full-bodied espresso and a more forgiving dial-in process.

The narrower, deeper 49mm basket increases coffee-to-water contact time while helping reduce channeling, making it easier to achieve consistent extractions. An integrated pressure gauge gives you real-time feedback throughout the shot, allowing you to manually control pressure and experiment with different extraction profiles from pre-infusion through the finish.

Built with an all-stainless-steel brew path, the Flair 49 PRO keeps plastic away from your brewing water and coffee. Its redesigned brew head is engineered for efficient preheating and heat retention, while the fixed cylinder and valve-plunger system eliminates the need to disassemble the brew head between shots. A premium redwood portafilter handle completes the machine with a refined, timeless appearance.

The 49 PRO also includes both a pressurized basket and a bottomless basket, making it approachable for beginners while still offering the control serious espresso enthusiasts expect.
