Flair Espresso debuts eWizard steamer and Flair 49 Pro for home brewers

The eWizard is the cleanest example of that pitch. It grows out of Flair’s Wizard Steamer, which launched on March 5, 2025 for $189 as a stovetop-compatible milk steamer. The new version drops the external heat source and replaces it with an integrated electric heating element and pressurestat, so it can regulate itself automatically. Flair says it heats up in roughly five minutes, runs only on 110-volt power, and can steam about 1/2 gallon, or 1.9 liters, of milk from fridge temperature to 60°C per fill. The unit keeps the 700-milliliter boiler body, the cool-touch articulating steam wand and the top-mounted pressure gauge, while adding an internal float switch, an automated pressure release valve, and a wand that rotates 270 degrees side to side and 15 degrees up and down. It ships with both a single-hole tip and a three-hole pro-style tip, and Flair prices it at $325.

The Flair 49 Pro pushes the same logic to the shot side of the counter. Listed at $359, it is an all-manual lever machine with no plastics in the brew path, an all-stainless-steel brew path, a heat-efficient brew cylinder, a 49mm portafilter and an integrated pressure gauge. Flair says the machine weighs 7 pounds, measures 12 inches long by 7 inches wide by 10 inches high assembled, uses a 12-20 gram dose, takes 90 milliliters of input water and yields up to 55 milliliters per shot. Two baskets come in the box, one tuned for beginner friendliness and one for more advanced brewing. The company also describes the 49mm basket as a classic format that first became popular in the 1960s, arguing that the deeper basket can make dialing in more forgiving and reduce channeling. A fixed cylinder and piston system means no disassembly between shots, which should speed up the pull-rinse-repeat rhythm that defines manual espresso.
