Good manual espresso maker
I love this. I know before buying this that it will ba a little hassle to prepare an espresso or cappucchino using this device. Using Time more C3 to grind. 8 clicks (or 9 for some beans).

Cheapest way to get into actual Espresso - with a catch
I love my Flair. I use it pretty much every day. Once you learn your way around it and dial in your shots, AND already have a great grinder (I have Lido E-T), you can get some quality shots out of this. I also love how portable it is, it even came shipped it in a nice hard case that I use to pull shots even when I'm away from home. However, it can be a bit finnicky at times. This is a manual espresso maker, that means you have to do all of the work yourself. That means you have to heat up the brew chamber yourself, which can be pretty frustrating, so I recommend you get the temperature strips from their site or get a thermometer for temperature. What I do now is put it in the sink WITH THE PLUNGER, inside a cup, on the sink, and I fill it all the way with preheat water, and then I go and prepare my puck of coffee in the portafilter, and I go back and carefully dump the water, pick the chamber up and put it on my portafilter, and finally pull the shot. If you are a person that can have a routine and a workflow with these things, and that is okay with doing this whole process, I think the Flair might be a good option for you.Another frustrating thing is pressure. I HIGHLY recommend you purchase the Pressure Gauge kit from their website. It will help you understand how much pressure you really are applying. If you can't get the Pressure Gauge kit then I recommend you look at the flow rate of your shot when pulling it, and try to keep it at a consistent flow rate while trying to get a feel of how much pressure you're applying. You could also use a bathroom scale to gauge the pressure but I have not personally tried it.In summary:It takes me about 15-20 minutes to pull a shot and clean up the parts.I love:- The portability- Good-great quality Espresso shots- Relatively cheap, quite a steal honestlyI hate:- Finnicky, with all the parts and pre heating the brewing cylinder- Does not come included with the Pressure Gauge- Drip tray is cheap, does the job fine though- Needs getting used to a routine/workflow
