Flair Neo Flex Manual Lever Espresso Maker (2024 Model with Pressure Gauge) | Coffee Maker

The NEO Flex is the perfect combination of affordability and capability, a true home espresso maker for everyone and anyone. And, new for 2024, the NEO Flex has been updated with two key features:

Integrated Pressure Gauge – The NEO Flex now comes with an integrated pressure gauge, which means any home barista can easily dial in their extraction. Lower the lever, and brew in the Espresso Zone for best results. The immediate feedback helps any brewer know exactly how they are brewing.

No-preheat Thin Cylinder – 100 grams were removed from the existing brew head, reducing the thermal mass enough to waive the preheating step. The new thin cylinder ensures a quick and easy workflow. Just add your grounds, boiling water, and lower the lever for delicious espresso.

As before, the NEO Flex frame is constructed of a high-strength, ultra-light polymer blend, and it comes with two different portafilters, the Flow-Control and Bottomless 2-in-1, to ensure each home barista can brew exactly how they want.

Flow-Control Portafilter – Perfect for espresso beginners, the Flow-Control Portafilter features a restricted exit port, meaning the portafilter does the work of building the appropriate pressure needed for an espresso extraction. No dial-in required – just simple espresso brewing.

Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter – Perfect for when espresso brewers are ready to control their extraction more. This portafilter requires a high-quality, espresso capable burr grinder, but means that home baristas can control the variables of each shot, and ensure their espresso if to their exacting standards.

Buy the NEO Flex in one of two configurations, with or without the custom dual-chamber carrying case. With the case, you can bring your Flex anywhere, or safely store it for later use. The dual chamber case has two compartments, with a protective foam barrier between.

What's Required for NEO Flex Brewing

The NEO Flex was designed to be the simplest way to brew café-quality espresso at home. As such, home baristas using the NEO Flex need no real specialized equipment, like is necessary on other Flair models.

To effectively brew with the NEO Flex, everyone will need:

Access to a kettle to boil water with – a temperature controlled kettle will give more precision, but is not necessary
Access to freshly roasted coffee beans – pre-ground coffee will not produce the best results
Any coffee burr grinder – bladed grinders also will not produce good results – but high end burr grinders aren’t necessary for NEO Flex brewing with the Flow-Control portafilter and any will do!
