Flair 58 Joint Hook Upgrade in stainless steel – stainless steel from kettle to cup
Gleaming stainless steel, a small orange roller, and the good feeling of holding a stainless steel part in your hand. The Joint Hook is one of those parts you only notice once you hold it, and then never want to be without. It makes your Flair a little more of what it is meant to be: a tool made of metal, built for many years at the lever.
With this upgrade, Flair wants to make sure that no plastic comes into contact with the espresso during brewing, for a brewing experience entirely in stainless steel. The Joint Hook is shown on the Flair 58 Plus 2, and Flair's installation video also describes the switch from the previous locking hook to the Joint Hook on the 58 Plus 2. Flair lists Coffee Coaching Club as its dealer for Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Once a year: care for joint, rod and piston
In its manuals, Flair recommends taking apart the joint, piston rod and piston once a year, checking the O-rings, cleaning everything thoroughly and resetting the position of the piston. A good moment to fit the Joint Hook at the same time. You'll find matching seals in the Flair O-Ring Sets.

Can I see the Flair 58 Joint Hook in person before buying?
That depends on whether the Joint Hook is on display at the moment. In our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) we show a wide selection, but not the entire range – it is too large for that, and the display changes. Before your visit, drop us a short message at [email protected], and we will check for you whether the Joint Hook is currently there.
Tip from the roastery: After swapping a part, it is worth pulling a shot with a bean you know well. We like to use Nutty Delight or Cozy Chocolate, and for maximum body Very Nutty. You'll find all our beans under Coffee Beans. That is our recommendation, one of many.
