{"product_id":"flair-second-shot-plus-2026","title":"Flair Second Shot Plus 2026 Brewing Kit","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Flair Second Shot Plus 2026 is a back-to-back brewing kit for the Flair Classic, Flair 2GO, and NEO Flex manual lever espresso makers. It adds a second portafilter and a heat-efficient Thin Cylinder so you can grind, fill, and tamp multiple baskets in advance, then pull shot after shot without stopping to clean between them. The kit is available in two configurations: Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter or Flow Control Portafilter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePull Multiple Shots Without Interruption\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Second Shot Plus 2026 is built around a simple workflow: prepare all your portafilters before you start pulling, then extract one shot after another in sequence. Because you have a second loaded basket ready to go, there is no pause to knock out grounds, rinse, and re-dose between guests or between your own double-shot routine. For anyone who regularly makes espresso for two or more people on a Flair Classic, 2GO, or NEO Flex, that uninterrupted rhythm is the practical payoff of this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHeat-Efficient Thin Cylinder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thin Cylinder included in this kit is designed to retain heat more efficiently than a standard cylinder, which matters when you are pulling consecutive shots. Maintaining consistent brew-chamber temperature across multiple extractions helps keep your results repeatable: the second shot behaves like the first rather than dropping off as the cylinder cools. The silicone sleeve protects your hands during back-to-back use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePressure Gauge for Every Pull\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a black piston with an integrated black pressure gauge, so you can monitor extraction pressure on each shot rather than relying on feel alone. Paired with the stainless steel dispersion screen, which distributes water evenly across the puck, the setup gives you the feedback and consistency tools to dial in a recipe and repeat it across multiple pulls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin Cylinder with silicone sleeve:\u003c\/strong\u003e heat-efficient brew chamber for consecutive shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecond portafilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottomless 2-in-1 or Flow Control, depending on configuration chosen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack piston with pressure gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e monitors extraction pressure on every pull\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel dispersion screen:\u003c\/strong\u003e even water distribution across the coffee puck\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\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBottomless Configuration\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eFlow Control Configuration\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCylinder\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThin Cylinder with silicone sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThin Cylinder with silicone sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePortafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlow Control Portafilter\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePiston\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack piston with black pressure gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack piston with black pressure gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDispersion screen\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible models\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair Classic, Flair 2GO, NEO Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFlair Classic, Flair 2GO, NEO Flex\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 Second Shot Plus 2026 suits Flair Classic, Flair 2GO, or NEO Flex owners who regularly pull two or more shots in a session: households of two, small gatherings, or anyone who wants a standby loaded portafilter to keep their workflow moving. The Flow Control configuration suits brewers who want to adjust flow rate mid-extraction; the Bottomless configuration suits those who prefer a standard open basket for puck inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis kit is not compatible with any Flair PRO model (PRO 2, PRO 3, or 49 PRO). It does not add electric heating, a pump, or automation of any kind. The Flair Classic, 2GO, and NEO Flex remain fully manual lever espresso makers. If your machine is a PRO-series Flair, this kit will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhich Flair models does the Second Shot Plus 2026 fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Second Shot Plus 2026 is compatible with the Flair Classic, Flair 2GO, and NEO Flex. It is not compatible with any Flair PRO model, including the PRO 2, PRO 3, and 49 PRO. If you are unsure which model you own, check the base of your Flair or contact CRC before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the Bottomless and Flow Control configurations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eBoth Second Shot Plus 2026 configurations include the same Thin Cylinder, black piston with pressure gauge, and stainless steel dispersion screen. The difference is the portafilter: the Bottomless configuration includes a 2-in-1 Bottomless Portafilter, while the Flow Control configuration includes a Flow Control Portafilter that lets you adjust the flow rate during extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDo I need to clean the first portafilter before using the second one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The purpose of the Second Shot Plus 2026 is to let you pre-load both portafilters before you begin pulling shots. You grind, fill, and tamp each basket in advance, then extract shots back to back. Cleaning happens after the session, not between shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the Second Shot Plus 2026 include a pressure gauge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. Both configurations of the Second Shot Plus 2026 include a black piston with an integrated black pressure gauge, so you can monitor extraction pressure on every pull without purchasing a gauge separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes this kit make the Flair electric or add a pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eNo. The Second Shot Plus 2026 is a manual brewing kit. It adds a second portafilter, a Thin Cylinder, a pressure-gauge piston, and a dispersion screen. The Flair Classic, 2GO, and NEO Flex remain fully manual lever espresso makers with no pump, boiler, or electric heating element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to Flair?
