There are a few options when it comes to buying a Flair; they re all more or less the same device with add-ons and slight upgrades, they re all manual and portable, and they range from about $120 to $300. The one I use and recommend is the more affordable Neo, which has no pressure gauge or fancy attachments. It might not be as foolproof as other setups, but you ll get the feel for it with a bit of practice. Depending on how serious you want to get, you can purchase a slightly more durable option like the Pro 2, which comes with a larger brew head, a stainless steel piston, and a pressure gauge.
