In this video, I show you the hyped Flair Pro 49, a 49 or rather 51mm manual lever espresso machine. Since so many people are asking if the La Pavoni baskets fit, I decided I should measure them up, and show them in this video. To answer the question, 49-51mm baskets fit, but they cannot have a curved lip, and they must be less than 61.37mm in total diameter (lip included). I also go over a different pre-heating method that makes things a little speedier.
