      V60 is my main, but also have a french press and a manual espresso machine (Flair Pro 2).

      Mac user as well.

        How do you like your flair? I’ve been considering getting one for a while now but haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet

          It’s a bit of a PITA to be honest. Having to pre-heat the brew chamber is annoying and makes the whole process slow. They just released the Pro 3 which uses a different brew chamber that has a lower heat capacity and doesn’t need preheating (according to Flair). It’s compatible with the 2 so I’m probably going to get the pro 3 brew chamber once available.

          I’d skip the pro 2 and either get a 3 or the 58 with the electric heater.

            Thanks for the advice! That kinda tracks with other reviews and things that have been holding me back, that thermal management is a bit of a pain. I’ll keep an eye on the 3 though
