For Cold Brew, and also for pour-over method, it's best to use light to medium roasted coffee beans 😊

This machine is so fun. I probably went through 20 pounds of coffee when I first got it trying new recipes.

That's probably our favourite part, try out new recipes and find the perfect one 😉

Hi Phil, may I please ask what basket you would recommend for dark roasted coffee beans, as you say the supplied baskets are sub-optimal?
@MaxiCoffee-UKАй бұрын
Hi, normally for a darker roast we would suggest using a shallower basket. however with the way the showerhead / diffuser screen works on the Flair 58, we can kind of ignore this and go for a more omni-basket. That way, if you want to play around with roasts that are more medium or even an overdosed light, you can! At the moment I prefer E&B Labs (IMS) over VST for competition filters - a bit more affordable and the nanocoating makes for real easy knocking - so a good omni would be the 16/18g : www.maxicoffee.com/en-gb/h24-ridgeless-filter-basket-1618g-nanotechnological-coating-p-40540.html . Have fun!

I have the Neo Flex which I have been using for 3 months, with the pressure gauge. Great product but I have broken a component already due to the large amounts of plastic used. After all it is a cheap product. Has me hooked on Flair Espresso as a brand and manual lever machines. Would love to buy this 58x, just waiting if someone releases a UK discount code as it's out of my budget for now. Great review, thanks!

The Flair 58X is a great coffee maker. If you wait a little bit longer, you will have nice discount on our website during Black Friday 😉

What about the cleaning - you did not mention that.
@MaxiCoffee-UK2 ай бұрын
To clean the capsule tray and water tray, you can just use water and clean it with a soft sponge, and for the machine body, you can use a microfiber or a cloth and warm water 😊

Really interesting. Having to buy the wall mount and the bottomless filter on the side is a shame though. They had a lot of thoughts on their product, but the commercial strategy is weird. They focus on simplicity, yet, as it costs quite a lot of money and apparently doesnt make that good coffee if you don't have basic knowledge, i'm not quite sure that they will reach this audience. And with the money that i'd waste buying that nice little stand, before putting it in a box forever, I think that i could get their, much needed, accessories...

Yes, knowing how to dial in a shot is needed, but to be fair, this is like any 58mm espresso machine, and the superkop is simpler than most, like Phil said in the video. Phil decided to show off with the bottomless filter (because he's a big geek, and) because filming this technique allows experienced machine enthusiasts to interpret the quality of parts of a machine. A bottomless filter is by no means a required purchase. The stand, we would say, is even less so, sure it's cool mounted to the wall, but it is easier to use on a base that you can move around your kitchen.

@@MaxiCoffee-UK I just mean that we should have the choice. I dont have much space in the kitchen, the wall mount is a big selling point. I wouldnt even consider it without this option. Great product still and thanks for the answer
