Flair NEO Refurbished

Pulled two shots back-to-back this morning and they came out with that thick crema you usually only get at a café, the lever action feels solid and repeatable. For the price, it beats the pod machine I had gathering dust, and it's actually fun to use once you get the workflow down.

Took a few tries to dial in my grind, but once I did, the espresso from this refurbished unit is genuinely on par with what I’d get at a café. The lever mechanism gives you total control over pressure, and the cleanup is way simpler than I expected for a manual machine.

Got this to replace my old stovetop Moka pot and the difference is night and day — the pressure it builds actually gives that thick crema I've been chasing. For the price of a refurb, it feels solid on the counter and pulls a shot in about a minute.
