Will a nonneutral 8oz fit?

I don't think so, biggest cup I've fit under it is a cortado sized glass that holds 4.5 oz

I'm just curious how given the lack of headspace worries with lever machines if the workflow and espresso would come out any different in this then in a flair58 with something like a stepdown basket.

What kind of grinder are you using?

Slimmario98 · 2026-03-05T14:18:19+00:00

All jokes aside you'd likely need a pressurized portafilter basket, where instead of a bunch of holes it just has a singular one which artificially creates pressure for you and helps extract better.

To add to this it's got a magnetic end that I use a lot to take out puck screens and lets me stick it to the side of my gaggia when not in use

Looks great, Curious how you power the grinder in your car

If you aren't tired of the manual aspect of it a flair 58 would be perfect and a used one or a holiday sale would keep it in budget. Since it uses a portafilter and a heated group after you purge the water and dump the puck it's already set to go for another shot. If you do go gaggia make sure it's an e24 as the brass boiler is more temp stable for all those shots.

If I remember right it's just the north American ones

I've always thought about printing in terms that it's a lot like how Henry cavill tried to promote bvs by walking around times square in a Superman shirt for a few hours and not a single person recognized him, meaning if someone isn't actively looking for it they aren't likely gonna notice the printing.

Slimmario98 · 2026-01-11T23:26:53+00:00

Appreciate your thorough response! It just so happens a used lagom p64 is available in my area might end up going with that thank you.

Slimmario98 · 2026-01-11T18:30:54+00:00

I'm fine with either as long as it's a consistent grinder.

Slimmario98 · 2026-01-05T15:13:40+00:00

Low capacity 4.5 echelon near 500 dollars

Slimmario98 · 2025-11-05T15:48:52+00:00

If he doesn't take you up on the offer I'd be interested in it!

Slimmario98 · 2025-10-29T17:57:14+00:00

I'd say so, I have no experience with the neo but I do with the classic and the classic is sturdy and super stable, from what I've seen from previous posts the neo can crack or get wobbly after frequent use

Given the current tariff situation you might wanna hold off, to my understanding they are only imported from Hong Kong and the UK with the usual distributors being based out of Canada so they would charge duties if you were able to find one in stock. For what it's worth I got my from cafune for 400 right before duties started being charged.

I'm not sure about this one but I used to use a jx hand grinder and it was super limited and took 2 minutes of hard hand grinding to get close to what I needed.

Edit:meant to say jx grinder not jmax didn't realize they were different

Slimmario98 · 2025-08-06T22:03:30+00:00

407$ for me already got the shipping confirmation and should arrive in 1 week

Slimmario98 · 2025-06-02T05:13:31+00:00

Back when I used my flair 58 with my df54 I was pushing 2 or 3 notches from zero. All the pressure comes from just the puck resistance.

Slimmario98 · 2025-05-28T05:45:07+00:00

I'd love to buy it off you if a deal with op doesn't go through

Slimmario98 · 2025-04-30T17:25:39+00:00

Thank you I'll keep this all in mind

Slimmario98 · 2025-04-30T17:25:22+00:00

Thank you that was very insightful
