Posting initial impressions of the Flair PRO 2 to aid others considering this machine. (Tried to add this to the PRO thread, but it's closed so starting a new one for the PRO 2)
Other machines considered: I have a lower-end pump machine that makes good lattes/cappas for guests,...
I got my Caravel several years ago, but use it only occasionally. Recently, I'm noticing that it feels like the piston is binding instead of moving smoothly, particularly when I raise the lever. I removed and inspected the seals. They seem fine so I cleaned them and reinstalled...
I luckily stumbled upon LewBK's previous post EspressoForge Handle Mod just days before my EspressoForge Handle failed on me.I ordered 3 potential T handles from WDS components in the UK to US including: 8140-21070 (smaller 316 SS), 8140-21090 (larger 316 SS), and 8461-6710...
