The enthusiasm was high at the Flair Espresso<\/a> booth on the second day of the SCA Expo, and it is easy to see why, given that they have so many new products to show off this year. I had the chance to chat at length about the latest developments with Flair\u2019s Head of E-commerce and B2C Marketing, Jeffrey Walcott, and Flair\u2019s Product Guru, Charles Temkey.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, they were eager to show off the Flair Go Espresso Maker<\/a>, which we currently have undergoing testing at CoffeeGeek headquarters, followed by the Flair Wizard Milk Steamer, which will get a review process on CoffeeGeek later this summer once it begins shipping.<\/p>\n

The Flair Go is unique in taking their already unique lever espresso brewer design, seen in the shape they launched with a decade ago (the original Kickstarter Flair lever machine and the Flair Signature) all the way up to the high end Flair 58+2. The Flair Go makes things even more travel-ready via a thoughtful folding design. Through a series of origami-like folds of the lever arm and tripod legs, the entire espresso experience can fold down into a travel container about the size of a small aerial drone case or professional camera cube.<\/p>\n

According to Walcott and Temkey, they made this product for two reasons:<\/p>\n

1. More people are wanting to get into espresso but already have a number of other kitchen accessories competing for limited counter space. This smaller design helps them make caf\u00e9-quality espresso and then easily put the device away in a drawer or cabinet until it\u2019s time for the next shot.<\/p>\n

2. Travelers who want to be able to pull tasty shots regardless of whether they\u2019re holed up in a hotel room or deep in the woods, far from a specialty coffee shop.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t steal Mark\u2019s thunder with first impressions (CoffeeGeek\u2019s First Look for the Flair Go is coming soon!) beyond saying that the fit and finish of the black model that I handled was excellent, with what felt like just the right amount of resistance when folding the pieces so as not to be floppy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Temkey also explained that they intentionally used silicone bushings in the joints of the legs to offer just a slight amount of flex to mimic the effect of shocks on an off-road vehicle; in other words, you can set the Flair Go on an uneven surface like a rock or a log and the legs will flex just enough to all make contact with the surface as you use the lever to build pressure and draw your shot. When one considers that the Go has all these travel-ready features and also comes with the same upgraded 6\u201312 bar pressure gauge found on their Flair Pro models, one can start to see their excitement about bringing this to market for just $199.<\/p>\n
