Compatible with Flair 58x units sold after May 2023 only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConsistent Brew Temperature, Without the Guesswork\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Preheat Controller gives Flair 58x owners a structured way to dial in brew-head temperature before pulling a shot. Three preset targets are available: 85°C, 90°C, and 95°C, corresponding roughly to the brew temperatures suited to dark, medium, and light roasts respectively. Rather than timing a manual preheat by feel, the controller alerts you when the brew head has reached the selected temperature, so each shot starts from the same thermal baseline. That consistency matters most when you are dialing in a new coffee or comparing variables across multiple pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Straightforward Upgrade for Electric-Enabled 58x Brew Heads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Flair 58x brew heads manufactured after May 2023 ship with the electric-enable hardware already built in. The Preheat Controller, elbow connector, and power supply are the only additional components needed to activate that capability. No modification and no separate heating element to source are required. For brewers who have been using their 58x off-grid or without electric preheat, this kit is the direct path to the full Flair 58 preheat workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-tiered preheat system:\u003c\/strong\u003e selectable targets at 85°C, 90°C, and 95°C to match roast level\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReady alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e notifies you when the brew head has reached the selected temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-in activation:\u003c\/strong\u003e connects directly to electric-enabled Flair 58x brew heads via the included elbow connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e includes the preheat controller, elbow connector, and power supply\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\u003eCompatible models\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eElectric-enabled Flair 58x, sold after May 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePreheat temperature options\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e85°C, 90°C, 95°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded in box\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePreheat controller, elbow connector, power supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 lb\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 controller suits Flair 58x owners whose brew head was manufactured after May 2023 and who want to add electric preheat control to their existing manual lever setup.

If your Flair 58x was purchased before that date, the electric-enable hardware is not present and this controller will not work with it. Check your purchase date or the documentation that came with your brew head to confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this controller work with the Flair 49 PRO, PRO 2, PRO 3, or other Flair models?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Preheat Controller with Elbow Connector and Power Supply is only compatible with electric-enabled Flair 58x brew heads sold after May 2023. It does not fit the Flair 49 PRO, PRO 2, PRO 3, Classic, NEO, 2GO, or Signature models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat temperature should I choose for my roast?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair 58 preheat system offers three targets: 85°C for dark roasts, 90°C for medium roasts, and 95°C for light roasts. These are approximate correlations to typical brew temperatures for each roast level; your ideal setting may vary depending on the specific coffee and your taste preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is included with this controller?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe kit includes the preheat controller, the elbow connector, and the power supply: everything needed to activate the electric preheat capability on a compatible Flair 58x brew head.
