Precision You Can Feel

The Flair 49 PRO is built for coffee enthusiasts who enjoy the craft of making espresso. Every shot is brewed by hand, giving you complete control over pressure, flow and extraction. With no electronics, pumps or complicated menus, the focus stays where it belongs—on the coffee.

Designed around a new 49mm brewing system and a simplified workflow, the Flair 49 PRO makes it easier than ever to produce rich, balanced espresso at home while retaining the precision that manual lever machines are known for.

Why We Stock It

Not every espresso machine belongs in a specialty coffee setup.

The Flair 49 PRO stands out because it removes unnecessary complexity without sacrificing control. The redesigned fixed brew head speeds up your workflow, while the deeper 49mm coffee bed is more forgiving during dialling in, making it easier to achieve consistent extractions.

It’s a machine that rewards good technique, but it won’t punish you while you’re learning.

Built for the Home Barista

Whether you’re pulling your first proper espresso or refining your technique, the Flair 49 PRO offers a brewing experience that’s both engaging and rewarding.

Perfect for:

• Home baristas wanting greater control
• Coffee lovers moving beyond entry-level machines
• Espresso enthusiasts who enjoy hands-on brewing
• Anyone looking for exceptional espresso without relying on electricity

Aura Bean Brewing Tip

The Flair 49 PRO truly comes alive when paired with freshly roasted coffee and a quality espresso grinder. Start with an 18g dose in the bottomless basket and aim for a 36g yield over approximately 30 seconds while maintaining steady pressure throughout the extraction. If the shot runs too quickly, grind finer. If it struggles to flow, grind slightly coarser. Small adjustments make a noticeable difference.

The Aura Bean Difference

We don’t believe great coffee starts with expensive equipment—it starts with understanding how to use it.

Every espresso machine we stock is carefully selected because we believe it offers genuine value to home baristas. As specialty coffee professionals, we test our equipment with freshly roasted coffee and real-world brewing methods before recommending it to our customers.

When you purchase from Aura Bean, you’re not simply buying an espresso machine. You’re buying from people who roast coffee, brew coffee and are passionate about helping others get the very best from every cup.

A Revolutionary Espresso – Gaggia Classic E24

Gaggia Milano stands as one of Italy’s most iconic espresso brands, reshaping the way coffee is brewed since 1938. Achille Gaggia’s breakthrough system moved beyond steam, unlocking precision extraction and giving birth to the hallmark of true Italian espresso—the soft, golden crema naturale. From Milan’s coffee bars to homes worldwide, Gaggia has carried this culture forward with relentless innovation and timeless design.

The Gaggia Classic remains the original home espresso machine, first introduced in 1977 to bring commercial-grade performance into the hands of home baristas. Decades later, the Classic E24 continues that legacy—100% Italian-made, refined, and built to deliver authentic espresso with professional detail.

Key upgrades include a temperature-stable brass boiler, a 3-way solenoid valve, and a 58 mm chrome-plated brass portafilter. The new commercial-style stainless steel steam wand, paired with a larger brass boiler, produces powerful steam for rich, velvety milk and microfoam worthy of latte art.

Design refinements make the Classic E24 more intuitive: dedicated rocker switches for power, brew, and steam; a streamlined drip tray with rounded edges; an indented frame for easier reservoir removal; and a rubber-gripped decompression duct for safer handling. Internally, embedded heating elements bring the boiler to brew-ready in just 5 minutes, with steam available in 60 seconds. Noise reduction improvements ensure a quieter, smoother experience.

From espressos to cappuccinos, flat whites, and lattes, the Classic E24 delivers the full café experience at home. Supported by a global community of Gaggia enthusiasts, it’s versatile enough for beginners yet refined enough for advanced baristas.
