Espresso makers are expensive and fairly complicated thanks to the pressure needed to push the water through the espresso grind.

The Flair Espresso Maker takes all of this complexity out of the equation by using good ‘ol fashioned might to pump your own espresso. Just add the grind, pull the handle and pull your own shots. Nothing to plug in or break down.

The manual espresso maker has received some high ratings, snagging a 4.5/5 stars from over 130 reviewers on Amazon.
