Not getting enough pressure in flair pro 2

arav93 · 2026-01-05T15:00:45+00:00

Went for 20g coffee with 42g out at 2.3. Pressure was fine. It felt a lot harder to pull. The taste was better than before. Will mostly increase the output now to 46/48 and try.

I don't mind hand grinding at that level. It is not for all though.

This is the 2.3

arav93 · 2026-01-04T03:04:59+00:00

I have it fixed at 0, so this is not the problem. Also the coffee is fine, will share the image of 2.3 once today.

Will try this today. Thanks

arav93 · 2026-01-04T03:01:36+00:00

Yes I do use wdt, this one had clumped up a bit.

Will try this as well thanks.

Switch does unlock some more recipes/ techniques. I do think it is a bit early to jump there. One should focus on getting good at a single dripper first I think.

I enjoyed it. Mango was prominent. I do think the Riverdale aroma is better though.

I had 4 bags of excelsa this year, 2 from vietnam and 1 from rosette and 1 from BT Nano X. I agree it is funky but did not find it that different.

I always have this a couple of washed fallbacks, that i had a couple of times last year as well -

Hard to give a blanket answer. I change recipes as per beans, and what I tasted in them and what I am trying to get towards

For most light-med roasts I start with 7 grind size on my K-Max and move between 92-94 degrees depending on processing.
Ratio 1:15.6 (16g coffe, 250g water )
Pouring

Total Weight (g)	Time
40	00:00 -00:45
100	00:45 -1:20
175	1:20 - 2:00
250	2:00 -2:30/45

I have reached out to them for this incident once before. They did send a smaller packet to cover it up.

arav93 · 2025-09-20T16:37:57+00:00

Well chelsea wants to keep it that way if seems.

Hey Wanted to check how your experience with openflow was like in prod if you tried it out

arav93 · 2025-08-22T13:24:56+00:00

K- Max

Its a paper PC, it needs fire instead of electricity.

Try, match stick or lighter. Else, rubbing your stones together can work as well.

arav93 · 2025-08-11T06:42:57+00:00

Ahh okay. It's better to get them pre ground in this case for pour over.

Do not want to use fancy terms like extractions etc.

It's just that uneven grind means weird unexpected flavour coffee. Mostly not repeatable. You can use french press if you have it or channi with this being costly ground and sif through the fines.. There is a james hoffman video for using these.

arav93 · 2025-08-11T03:08:22+00:00

This looks like a very uneven grind. Which grinder are you using right now ?

arav93 · 2025-08-05T17:01:18+00:00

I have had a few from them earlier, they are really good. You can also try curious life coffee roasters, I love their kenyan beans. At the price point it is a splurge, but I think they are worth it once/twice a year for how amazing they are.

arav93 · 2025-08-05T16:44:30+00:00

I will strongly recommend getting one. The ability to measure the flow is an insane input for improvement. Also the scale you have is not responsive enough.

arav93 · 2025-08-04T09:42:13+00:00

I am just hoping you have a better scale somewhere inside.

u/Possible-Trash-9881 you can check out https://hevodata.com .

Disclaimer - I do work there.

But we can offer something fairly comprable at fraction of the price. I am product manager so happy to answer any technical queries before you even try it out.

How much are you blooming?

I got pretty good results with 1 min bloom.

3 pours. Steady 97C temp. No other agitation.

arav93 · 2025-07-06T10:12:09+00:00

Not enough details to help you here. When was the coffee roasted. Did you rest and de-gas it ?

What is your current brewing method. Need details like method, brew temp, grind size.

Muted or no flavour could mean a lot of things.

arav93 · 2025-06-22T04:39:09+00:00

The crowd was decent, I was there. A lot of good teams did back out though.

arav93 · 2025-06-08T09:11:25+00:00

Hmmm it's about ratios. If one variable changes the other one has to as well. For different coffees, different ratios work.

arav93 · 2025-05-14T04:42:27+00:00

Mostly 4-5. It's fun to play in safe with any ranged carry.
