New Hoffman video dropped. Not sure if we have any 3rd wave coffee lovers in this community. I've been an avid AeroPress user for about two years now and it will be interesting to see where the company goes, though it will likely not affect me as this thing feels nigh indestructible and I can likely use it for ten years with no issues.

I really like the flair for home brewing espresso. I have the pro 2 and it's pretty awesome to be able to make quality espresso that's just as good or better than what I can get in local cafes while still being able to pack it away when I'm not using it.

How much of a commitment has it been for you to learn to make high quality espresso? I'm really into the idea of getting a Flair, but between the learning curve and all the extra tools people get for their machines (bottomless portafilters, WDT tools, various types of tempers etc.) it almost seems like too much effort vs. the expected reward.

With the flair I don't really worry too much about all that stuff. I just mostly use the stock parts that it comes with. Although I have thought about getting an WDT tool, but right now I've been making do with just stirring with a toothpick and leveling it out.

Don't get me wrong though it's still a lot more work and a lot trickier than making filter coffee. It's also a bit less predictable than a regular espresso machine since it's manual

But I've gotten the hang of it after some trial and error and it's a good bit of fun when I'm in the mood
