Flair 58: your first espresso shot
Start with 18 g of coffee in and 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast. The grind number depends on your grinder: find yours below, then taste and adjust.
The recipe
- Dose: 18 g (Flair's first-shot dose).
- Stop at: 36 g in the cup (1:2) for a medium roast, 45 g for a light roast. Stop by weight; Flair targets 30 to 35 s at 6 to 9 bar.
- Temperature: Temperature: Med or High. The brew-cylinder heater has three settings, Low / Med / High, matched to roast level (Flair). Fill with water just off the boil.
- Pre-infusion: Lever: let water soak the puck at low pressure for a few seconds, then build to 6 to 9 bar.
Where to start on your grinder
Starting settings in each grinder's own numbers. They are starting points from the makers' published ranges, not a guarantee: taste decides. Tap a setting for the full recipe with your roast and the next-shot fix, or a grinder for its light and dark starting points.
