The 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.
Preheating 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.
The 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.

The 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.
The 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.
The Flair Preheat Funnel is compatible with the PRO 2, PRO 3, NEO Flex, Classic, and Signature brew heads. It is not listed as compatible with the Flair 58, 58 Plus 2, or 49 PRO.
The Flair Preheat Funnel is designed to fit into the top of most gooseneck brew kettles. Gooseneck kettles are the style most commonly used with Flair espresso makers, and the funnel's opening is sized for that narrow-neck format.
The 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.
The 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.
