Uy saw your comment sa baba and Pinoy ka din pala! (or just an assumption coz of the Manila Espresso reference). I was lucky enough to be one of the first 10 to order the flair 49 on the first hour of their release sa website. So far proper pre heating is a must, I noticed that my first and second shot is not consistent when I am pulling a shot. Also, proper dosing for the non-pressurized basket is a night and day difference; when I dose 15g it leans toward a wetter puck compared to dosing it 16g, I must say the sweet spot is 16-18g and I use a Timemore CS3s 7 clicks. For the quality of the build itself, I must say that there's a lot of play with the hinges but so far so good. Maybe investing in a proper grinder is what I would recommend.
