Is Flair 58 a good end game espresso maker?

FYI, I will be posting a pretty extensive review on the 58 Plus in a week or so. I have extensive experience with levers, having owned 7-8 of them...both spring and manual, large and small

Odyssey Argos owner experience

Hey friend David! As a lever guy, you know the tricks...if needed...a large measuring cup with ice water. The PF takes a quick dip, insert into group for 10 seconds...voila!! Again...if needed.

New precision baskets

Pardon the intrusion...very interesting discussion..far above my paygrade, I'm afraid. I do a question:would having a puck screen on top obfuscate the supposed benefits of these new basket designs? Same with paper on the bottom. If this has already been asked, apologies

It does a great job of grooming, especially when, as advised light or no pressure is applied whilst spinning. I'd like $85, shipping ...
