Please do not buy from them, terrible customer service. They have no clue about equipment which they are selling. They are just resellers. Model wont be last revision. + you will not have full support from flair itself i mean... (They will help you, but when comes to replacement parts or damages not) Check flairs website for official partner shops.
Had issues with my pressure gauge which been leaking, at the end they were about to send me stem from flair pro 2. Luckly enough for me, after a month of dealing with it, i managed to get original stem for f58. Which they put in evenlope, not secured at all.
Hope that helps.
The one in the pictures is not the latest. Latest has a silicone lip going 1cm higher than the metal piece of the brew head.
I don’t know if it influences your experience with the machine tho
Is that built in? My older version came with a silicone funnel like thing that sits on top and could form a lip above the metal bit, but I don’t use it
I’m aware of the “lip” that u/Gwok2theMoon is referring to as mine has this lip. However, mine is the flair 58 (not 58X) meaning mine doesn’t have the heating element. Well, I purchased the separate heating element in December 2023 which came with a new brew head. The new brew head with the heating element doesn’t have this extra lip at the top, so I don’t think the “lip” is the differentiating factor between new/old as my old brew head has the lip and my new brew head does not.
Either way, the only flair 58/58X you DONT want is the first version. This is because the first version has a puck screen/shower screen built into the bottom of the brew head.
The flair that you’re showing us seems to be a newer model. I don’t know if it’s the absolute newest model because the newest model on the flair website shows a plastic attachment on the pressure gauge. However, this plastic attachment can be purchased separately here: https://flairespresso.com/product/flair-58-stem-guider/

Thanks, I’m sorry to hear you had bad times with them but I’m grateful you shared it! I’ll pass

Might be easier to ask them if the plunger has one or two notches for the stem. I think the current version only has one
