Some interesting measurement of flair brew temperature.
1 preheat the brew chamber without coffee basket, but with top piston, in the boiling water for a few minutes
2 Then I put on the empty coffee basket with Bottom sealed.
3 pour boiling water which is hold nicely in the chamber
4. Measure water temperature with probe thermometer . Preheated probe.
Result. 93 to 88c drop in 35 seconds.
I think that is normal process for brew a cup. The room temp is 24, no coffee added in the basket.
I didn’t measure the chamber temp, but it is dangerously hot to work with.
my conclusion Is the flair will never work as 90-96 range for perfect espresso. It’s on the low temp side for under extraction.
maybe it’s why people report getting sour coffee.
As for the coffee taste itself, I like it. I think it is Better than Moka pot brew. Just not as “standard” temperature.
please let me know if you have better temperature management.
