I love my new Flair Neo. Yes, it takes 8 minutes and dirties all the dishes to make a single espresso milk drink... but it tastes just like (or even better than) the cafe.
1) Boil water
2) Setup the frame
3) Grind 14g of coffee (Karajoz or Jed's 4 or Ebony Windy Ridge or any good dark but not burnt roast)
4) Funnel into the portafilter and tamp, putting screen on top
5) Place in the frame
6) Put metal sleeve in bowl and cover in hot water to preheat
7) Pour 250g of milk into french press, and microwave on high 1:40
8) Get a coffee cup under the machine
9) Get a second coffee cup ready to catch the drips
10) Place sleeve on machine, fill with hot water
11) Insert plunger
12) Press down lightly and leave 30 seconds to pre-infuse
13) Press hard (well, 9 bar, not crazy hard) and less hard over time until the bar is at the bottom, the coffee is now in the cup
14) Remove cup, swapping for the drip cup
15) Get milk from microwave, froth with french press screen (20 times fast, but not deep)
16) Pour into stainless milk device
17) Bang on table so I look like I know what I am doing
18) Slowly pour milk into coffee and make a nice design on the top
19) Leave the mess behind for later, taking the coffee to the computer
20) After coffee has been drunk, bring coffee back to kitchen
21) Wash coffee cup in the sink
22) Remove sleeve and portafilter from frame, and separate them
23) Separate and wash the screen, portafilter, heavy metal sleeve, and plunger
24) Fold up frame, put it back in the box
25) Remove drip cup and wash it
26) Wash preheating bowl
27) Wipe coffee grounds off of the counter
28) Wait for all the dishes to dry
29) Place all parts into the box, close up, and put away
It is so easy!
