Your countertop stays tidy, and your focus remains on you and the extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Flair Espresso. The 58 Plus 2 Base Upgrade Kit brings your existing Flair 58+ to the latest generation design: the heating control moves directly into the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Upgrade Does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the older Flair 58+, the preheating control is attached to a cable dongle, plus a comparatively large power supply. The Base Upgrade Kit integrates the control into the machine's foundation – a button on the base selects between the three heating levels 85 °C, 90 °C, and 95 °C, tailored for dark, medium, and light roasts. The new power supply is significantly more compact, and the cabling is sleeker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Consistent Preheating Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf hot brew water hits a cold stainless steel brew head, the brew temperature immediately drops – the result is underextraction, making the cup taste thin and flat. A consistently preheated brew group maintains a stable temperature and extracts even the more difficult-to-dissolve compounds from the coffee grounds. This creates the dense, syrupy body that lever machines are known for. This is our observation – one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ePreheating control integrated into the base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eHeating Levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e85 °C, 90 °C, 95 °C (dark \/ medium \/ light)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact, with Swiss or EU plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003ePlug and Play, replaces the old base 1:1 in a few minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eScope of Delivery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eBase with integrated preheating controller, compact power supply, mounting materials, and instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eFlair 58+ as well as Flair 58\/58x from July 2023 (Quick-Disconnect brew head)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't need this kit – your Flair 58+ works without it.
