Fault Codes Help for Flair Flair Neo Flex

Flair Flair Neo Flex

The Flair Neo Flex is a manual lever espresso maker designed for home use. It consists of a post and lever mechanism, a base, a piston with a pressure gauge, a brew cylinder, a dispersion screen, two portafilters (a flow control portafilter and a bottomless 2-in-1 portafilter), a preheat cap, a dosing cup/tamper, a funnel, and extra flow-control spouts. The device operates by manually applying pressure to the lever, forcing hot water through coffee grounds to extract espresso. It features a pressure gauge to monitor extraction and allows for adjustments to grind size and force to achieve optimal results. The flow control portafilter is designed for ease of use with various grinders, while the bottomless portafilter allows for visual inspection of the extraction process.

Clogged Spout

Reduced flow or no flow from the portafilter.

Solutions:

Unscrew and rinse the spout with cool water. Replace with the spare spout if necessary.

Extraction Too Fast (Below Espresso Zone)

Shot time is less than 20 seconds.

Solutions:

Grind finer.

Extraction Too Slow (Above Espresso Zone)

Shot time is greater than 25 seconds.

Solutions:

Use more coarse grounds. Reduce the force applied to the lever.

Lever Difficult to Lower

The lever is extremely hard to push down.

Solutions:

Grind more coarsely. Increase the amount of force applied to the lever. If increased force doesn't work, grind more finely.

Lever Releases Abruptly

Boiling water sprays when releasing the lever.

Solutions:

Never release the lever abruptly. Control the descent of the lever.

No Espresso Produced

No espresso is extracted despite applying force.

Solutions:

Grind finer until resistance is felt when lowering the lever.

Sparkling Espresso

Espresso appears bubbly and lacks crema.

Solutions:

Ensure proper grind size, even tamping, and use just-boiled water.
