I can't remember if we've had this already? But the Flair Espresso 58 looks nice. Named for it's standard 58mm portafilter. It has a preheat function, but the preheat cable/implementation looks kinda gash. At $500, I don't think it's too bad of a deal in theory, as it can still be used without power. With that said, I'd still buy a Robot at a lower price than the Flair, or a La Pavoni at the higher end.
Having now watched the video in full, workflow looks finicky and far more time consuming than the Robot. Pass.
Interesting alright. The preview said the electric element will take 10 mins to heat the chamber, so in one respect no quicker , and maybe slower than the regular flair.
I got a flair pro only this week. It's a lot of fun to use and work with and this is now on my watch list
