The first Flair Espresso Maker was born from the heart of an espresso lover and inventor who set out on a journey to brew delicious espresso, in the comfort of his own home. He asked the question, “What is the minimum needed to make a great espresso?” This meant no gadgets; just pure, delicious espresso. Thirty years of experience as an engineer in the bio-medical industry were applied to the development of the Flair. Dozens of prototypes later, he was able to successfully eliminate all the complexity found in high-end espresso machines. Everything was incorporated into a simple, elegant, and affordable product that had one purpose: handcrafting delicious espresso.
