Intact Idea flair 58 Instruction Manual

Using Your Pressure Gauge
Everything starts with the grind and dose, which create the resistance to achieve
desired pressure and brewing time. "Flair-istas" who have mastered their
technique will brew between 6 and 9 BAR at a time between 30-35 seconds.
Your Flair 58 comes with a pressure gauge to ensure your espresso is to your
specifications at all times. Please use the chart below to help you dial-in and
target brewing in the "espresso zone" as seen on your gauge.
