According to Flair, it extracts more evenly and gives you an espresso with lots of clarity; it is mostly used for light and medium roasts. Flair compares it to VST baskets and puts the grind it needs at the level of a commercial grinder. It does not come with the Flair 58 and 58x from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ccc-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Flow: tapered, more texture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low-Flow basket has a tapered edge and fewer outlet holes, which guide the water through the coffee grounds. You grind coarser, dialling in is easier, and more viscosity and texture end up in the cup. According to Flair, it is also forgiving of a coarser or less even grind. It is the standard basket of every Flair 58 and 58x.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEspresso by taste, not by the clock\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our experience, the basket is one of the quiet levers for the flavour profile, often more noticeable than you might expect. We grind fine, start at 14.5 g and work our way up with the dose, usually to 17 g, at a ratio below 1:2 and always by weight. Flair specifies 16 to 20 g for these 18 g baskets, so you’ll be at the upper end of our range or above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an espresso tastes too sour or too bitter, in our experience a little more coffee often helps. If hardly anything comes out, the grind is very fine: go a touch coarser.
