So the Flair is up & running. Ordered from Flair on Friday and it was here on Monday, free shipping.

A bit of a learning curve, but probably less than an automatic like Rancilio Silvia. Flair seems to be rather forgiving on grind and tamp. And I'll probably have to adjust again with new beans. The flavor is fantastic. My crema still isn't as thick as the videos on YouTube, but that's probably something I've got to nail down better. Also some beans produce better crema than others. I'm doing a mix of Peter's last Brazil and a Sumatra from Klatch. Prep & cleanup is pretty easy. It's quite ingenious to get a superb, controlable espresso pull for $160.

If you're buying, get the 2 brew head combo. It makes things easier. Well done Flair.

Edit by Aaron:   Newroaster that link is just cycling back to the top of this thread here.
Please go back to where you put your post with the pics and re post the link.
Thank you

Or like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.  Maybe post as a new thread and let the admin correct it if it isn't appropriate.

Doesn't work.  All we see is the beginning of this thread with no review.  Again, try posting separately in a new thread and let admin take care of the details if necessary.  Thanks.

If you are trying to point to a different review you may have done, please goto that review and cut and paste the link from the header and put it here,  otherwise your link is just bringing you to the top of the page, which is where we all start to begin with anyways.

Uh Aaron, this is my only review.  In a previous post I said I had ordered a Flair. User ptrmorton couldn't find my review so I posted the link (which was really on the same page as the review itself). I see both. Am I doing this right?

Thanks, Bob

OK, my bad.  I was confused because of the post that directly followed which said the review was up.  I assumed there was more than what had been said earlier in the thread.
