No waiting, no preheating, no electricity. On the built-in pressure gauge you see the pressure build under your hand, and you guide the extraction into the espresso zone. That's how direct manual-lever espresso begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Flair Espresso. The NEO Flex is the accessible lever machine in the Flair family and was refined in two ways in 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's new in 2024\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, a built-in pressure gauge: you lower the lever and brew within the espresso zone, and the immediate pressure feedback helps you dial in the extraction. Second, a thinner brew cylinder – around 100 grams were removed from the brew head, reducing the thermal mass so much that the preheating step is no longer needed. That gives you a fast, simple process: coffee and boiling water in, lower the lever, done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo portafilters included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is made from a high-strength, lightweight polymer blend. The NEO Flex comes with two portafilters, so you choose the path that suits you. The flow-control portafilter has a narrowed outlet and builds the pressure needed for extraction on its own – this works even with pre-ground coffee or simpler grinders, without lengthy dialling in. The bottomless 2-in-1 portafilter is for everyone who wants to control their own extraction: it needs an espresso-capable grinder, but in return gives you full control over every variable and a clear view of the shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual lever espresso machine, fully manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreheating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot needed (thin cylinder, reduced thermal mass)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure display\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in pressure gauge with espresso zone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePortafilters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow-control (pressure-building) and bottomless 2-in-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-strength, lightweight polymer blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActuation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% manual, no electricity, no pump\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoiling water from an external kettle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the NEO Flex is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEO Flex is for everyone who wants to experience manual-lever espresso without a preheating ritual or a power outlet.
