{"product_id":"flair-preheat-funnel","title":"Flair Espresso Preheat Funnel for PRO and Standard Brew Heads","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Flair Preheat Funnel is a collapsible silicone funnel designed to speed up the preheat workflow for Flair PRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, and Signature brew head owners. It fits into the top of most gooseneck kettles so the brew cylinder heats passively while brew water comes to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePreheat While You Boil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreheating the brew cylinder is a key step for consistent espresso on any manual lever machine. A cold cylinder pulls heat from the water and shortens extraction time unevenly. The Flair Preheat Funnel lets the cylinder sit inside the kettle opening and absorb steam heat during the boil, so by the time the water is ready, the cylinder is too. That means one fewer step, no separate hot-water pour into the cylinder, and a more repeatable starting temperature shot to shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCollapsible Silicone, Fits Most Gooseneck Kettles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe funnel is made from collapsible silicone, which keeps it compact for storage and easy to handle when hot. It seats in the top of most gooseneck brew kettles, suspending the brew cylinder above the heating water so steam does the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePassive preheat:\u003c\/strong\u003e heats the brew cylinder via kettle steam during the boil, requiring no separate step\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollapsible silicone construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e flexible, heat-tolerant, and compact to store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e fits PRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, and Signature brew heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKettle-friendly fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e seats in the top of most gooseneck brew kettles\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSilicone (collapsible)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible brew heads\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, Signature\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eKettle compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMost gooseneck brew kettles\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.1 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\"\u003eThe Flair Preheat Funnel suits owners of the Flair PRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, or Signature who use a gooseneck kettle and want to simplify and standardize their preheat routine without a separate hot-water pour into the cylinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThe Preheat Funnel is not compatible with the Flair 58 or 49 PRO brew heads, and it is not designed for use with wide-mouth or non-gooseneck kettles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich Flair models does the Preheat Funnel work with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair Preheat Funnel is compatible with the PRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, and Signature brew heads.

Gooseneck kettles are the style most commonly used with Flair espresso makers, and the funnel's opening is sized for that narrow-neck format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow does the preheat process work with this funnel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair Preheat Funnel sits in the kettle opening with the brew cylinder resting inside it. As the water heats, steam rises and warms the cylinder. When the water reaches brew temperature, the cylinder is already preheated and ready to use, with no separate hot-water rinse step needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs the funnel safe to handle when hot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Flair Preheat Funnel is made from silicone, which is heat-tolerant and remains flexible when warm. Its collapsible construction also makes it easier to grip and remove from the kettle after the preheat cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to Flair?
