Overview
The Flair 58x takes everything great about the Flair 58 and adds refinements that experienced lever enthusiasts have been requesting. The most significant upgrade is the new lever spring system with adjustable spring tension, allowing baristas to customize the resistance and pressure curve to their preference — whether they want a softer, more gradual decline or a stiffer, more sustained pressure profile. The 58x also features an improved brew head design with better thermal stability and a more precise temperature control circuit. The electrically heated group maintains target temperature with minimal fluctuation, and the standard 58mm portafilter remains compatible with all commercial baskets and accessories. The pressure gauge provides real-time feedback during extraction, and the lever mechanism offers full manual pressure profiling from first drop to last. An upgraded drip tray with better clearance accommodates taller cups and scales underneath the portafilter. Build quality is excellent throughout, with machined aluminum and stainless steel components that feel substantial and precise. The 58x is the current flagship of the Flair lineup, targeting serious home baristas who want lever control with commercial group compatibility.
The Flair 58x comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation, flow control for barista-level precision. It features a none boiler system. The manual lever pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction.
