The Flair 58 Plus 2 is a manual direct-lever espresso machine with a 58mm portafilter system, an all-stainless-steel brew path, and an integrated preheat controller with three temperature settings. Designed for home baristas who want full, hands-on control over every brewing variable, it brews a standard dose of 16–20g with a 90ml water reservoir and yields up to 55ml per shot. It is available as a standalone unit or with a lockable hard travel case.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 is a direct-lever machine, meaning you apply pressure through the lever rather than relying on a pump. A built-in pressure gauge shows you exactly what is happening as you pull, so you can adjust mid-shot rather than guessing after the fact. That real-time feedback is what separates a lever machine from most home espresso equipment: the shot is yours to shape, from the first drop to the last. Brew ratios from 1:1 to 3:1 and beyond are all within reach using the three included baskets (high dose, low dose, and pressurized).
Consistent extraction temperature is one of the hardest variables to control on a manual machine, and the Flair 58 Plus 2 addresses it directly. The preheat controller is integrated into the base and offers three settings: 85°C, 90°C, and 95°C, corresponding roughly to dark, medium, and light roasts. Dialing in the right thermal input for a given coffee means fewer sour or bitter shots and more repeatable results across bags and roast levels. The machine unplugs from the power supply entirely, so it can also be used without wires when the brew head is already up to temperature.
Every surface the espresso contacts on the Flair 58 Plus 2 is stainless steel, from the brew head through to the cup. No plastic touches the brew water or the shot at any point in the process. That all-stainless construction also means the 58mm portafilter system is compatible with a wide range of third-party accessories built around the industry-standard basket diameter.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 base measures 7.5 inches wide by 13 inches deep, and the machine stands 11 inches tall with the lever lowered, a footprint roughly 40% smaller than a standard semi-automatic machine. The articulating shot mirror mounts magnetically and lets you watch the extraction from below without repositioning your cup. A valve plunger with a locking hook manages pre-infusion and flow, and the drip tray and puck screen keep the workflow clean between shots.

The Flair 58 Plus 2 suits home baristas who want hands-on control over pressure, ratio, and temperature in a compact countertop machine. The pressurized basket makes it accessible to those new to espresso, while the direct-lever system and real-time pressure gauge give experienced brewers the feedback they need to dial in complex recipes. It works equally well for single-origin filter-style shots and traditional espresso ratios.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 is not suited to high-volume or commercial use. The 90ml water reservoir and manual lever mean it is designed for one or two shots at a time, not continuous service. It does not include a grinder, kettle, or milk steamer; an espresso-capable burr grinder and a kettle are required for brewing. It is not an automatic or semi-automatic machine and has no internal pump.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 base measures 7.5 inches wide by 13 inches deep, and the machine stands 11 inches tall with the lever in the lowered position. That footprint is approximately 40% smaller than a standard semi-automatic espresso machine, making the Flair 58 Plus 2 workable in kitchens where a full-size machine would not fit.
The integrated preheat controller on the Flair 58 Plus 2 has three settings: 85°C (185°F), 90°C (194°F), and 95°C (203°F). These correspond roughly to dark, medium, and light roasts respectively. The controller is built into the base, and the machine unplugs from its power supply so it can be used without wires once the brew head has reached temperature.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 uses a standard dose of 16–20g, a 90ml water reservoir, and yields up to 55ml per shot. The three included baskets (high dose, low dose, and pressurized) support brew ratios from 1:1 and 2:1 through to 3:1 and beyond, covering traditional ristretto through lungo-style recipes.
Yes. The Flair 58 Plus 2 includes a pressurized basket that is more forgiving of grind inconsistency, which lowers the barrier for beginners. The built-in pressure gauge and three-setting preheat controller also give newer brewers clear, readable feedback as they learn. The direct-lever workflow does involve a learning curve, but the machine is designed to be approachable as well as capable.
A shot on the Flair 58 Plus 2 can be ready in under three minutes, including preheating the brew cylinder, preparing the puck, and heating water. The actual lever pull takes roughly the same time as on any espresso machine; the manual steps of dosing, tamping, and preheating account for most of the total time.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 does not include a steam wand or milk steamer. It can be paired with a separate milk steamer for lattes, cappuccinos, or latte art; two options that fit this workflow are the Wizard stovetop steamer and the eWizard electric steamer, each sold separately.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 requires an espresso-capable burr grinder and a kettle, neither of which is included. A digital scale is also strongly recommended for repeatable dosing and yield measurement. The machine includes baskets, a tamper, pressure gauge, puck screen, drip tray, and power supply, but does not include any grinding or water-heating equipment.
The Flair 58 Plus 2 requires minimal cleaning and no descaling. Routine maintenance involves wiping down the machine and flushing the brew head with clean water. Because the brew path is all stainless steel with no internal boiler or pump, there are no internal components that accumulate scale in normal use.
