Three preset temperatures (85°C, 90°C, and 95°C) correspond to brew targets for dark, medium, and light roasted coffees respectively, so dialing in preheat no longer requires guesswork or a separate device sitting on the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSimplified Wiring, Tidier Counter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a downsized power supply and a wire guide designed to route the cable cleanly along the base. Compared to the earlier 58+ wiring arrangement, the result is significantly less cable clutter and a setup that looks closer to a single integrated machine than a modular assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated preheat controller:\u003c\/strong\u003e three selectable temperatures (85°C \/ 90°C \/ 95°C) built into the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDownsized power supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e smaller footprint than the original 58+ supply, with U.S. plug included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire guide included:\u003c\/strong\u003e routes cabling neatly along the base for cleaner wire management\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick-disconnect compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for the quick-disconnect brew head on qualifying Flair 58-series machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKit weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePreheat temperature settings\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e85°C, 90°C, 95°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePower supply plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eU.S. plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair 58 Plus 2 Base with Integrated Preheat Controller, Wire Guide, Flair 58 Plus 2 Power Supply (U.S. plug)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair 58+ and Flair 58 \/ 58x with quick-disconnect brew head, purchased after July 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis kit suits owners of a Flair 58+ or a Flair 58 \/ 58x purchased after July 2023 who want the cleaner integrated base and preheat controller introduced on the 58 Plus 2 without replacing the entire machine.
