★☆☆☆☆ — Absolute Garbage Product and Unacceptable Customer Service
My experience with Flair Espresso has been absolutely disgraceful.
I purchased their milk steamer expecting a functional, reliable product. Instead, I received what I can only describe as absolute, utter garbage. The steamer didn’t even work properly, making it completely useless for its intended purpose.
As frustrating as the defective product was, the company’s handling of my return has been even worse.
I went through the trouble of shipping the products back to Flair Espresso, yet the company has failed to refund my money. They have my returned merchandise, and I am still left without the refund I am owed.
A company that sells defective equipment should be taking responsibility and making its customers whole, not forcing them to chase down their own money after returning the merchandise.
This has been one of the most disappointing purchasing experiences I’ve had. Between the unacceptable product quality and the appalling handling of my refund, I have completely lost confidence in Flair Espresso.
My recommendation: Save your money, avoid the frustration, and purchase your equipment from a company that actually stands behind its products and treats its customers with respect.
Flair Espresso, I returned your products. Refund my money.

The eWizard Electric Milk Steamer: A Dangerous "Runaway Boiler" Defect & Unsafe Troubleshooting Protocol
Update (October 19, 2026) — Remote "Diagnosis" Without Inspection & Intentional Review Suppression:
Flair Espresso posted their reply below claiming my defective unit was "working as designed" while the return package today, October 19th, is still in USPS transit and has not even arrived in California for physical inspection. Declaring a runaway pressure vessel safe without ever opening the chassis or testing the failed components proves their response is a canned PR script rather than an engineering evaluation.
Furthermore, the fact that Flair staff had time today to read and respond to this review on Trustpilot—where they cannot delete customer feedback—while leaving the exact same 1-star review hidden and unpublished on their own website’s Yotpo review system since Saturday (Oct 17) proves they are actively suppressing negative safety warnings on their storefront to protect sales.

The eWizard Electric Milk Steamer: A
Dangerous "Runaway Boiler" Defect & Unsafe Troubleshooting Protocol
The Good:
When it worked during the first month, the unit produced adequate steam for home use.
Customer support ultimately honored a zero-cost return after escalation.
The Fatal Flaw (Runaway Boiler & Safety Hazard):
After roughly 4 to 6 weeks of normal, light residential use, the eWizard internal pressure stat or solid-state relay failed in the "closed" position. Rather than turning off at its target pressure, the machine entered an uncontrolled "runaway boiler" state, continuously pumping heat into the sealed water vessel until internal pressure forced the top mechanical emergency pressure relief valve (OPV) to repeatedly pop open and vent live, high-pressure steam into the kitchen.
The Manufacturer's Response (A Major Safety Concern):
When I reported the dangerous, unmanaged pressure spike to Flair Espresso support, their representative instructed me to re-energize the compromised pressure vessel and record a video of the live emergency pressure release and gauge reading to qualify for warranty service. Instructing a consumer to deliberately re-pressurize a malfunctioning heating vessel with a stuck power relay creates an unacceptable risk of severe third-degree steam burns or vessel rupture.
Regulatory Action Taken:
A formal incident report has been filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) under SaferProducts.gov, complete with batch details, failure video evidence, and support transcripts. Furthermore, inspection of the unit's base plate reveals a conspicuous lack of independent safety certifications (such as UL, ETL, or CSA) standard for 120V/1250W high-pressure appliances sold in the US.
Final Verdict:
Do not buy. A compact kitchen appliance that relies on a mechanical emergency pop-valve as its primary stopgap against a failing electronic heating relay—combined with troubleshooting advice that puts the user directly in harm's way—represents an unmitigated safety hazard.

Hi Almir. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. While we apologize for any alarm caused, and are happy to process your return as advised, we want to clarify that your eWizard was actually working as designed. The relief valve opens at 3.0 BAR only if the pressure stat drifts above its 2.5 BAR setting, which can happen in some cases. This is a safety measure and is calibrated and tested extensively - and is the same safety feature on our Wizard stovetop steamer.
We have also built in a redundancy to ensure full safety even if the pressure stat does drift. The second safety measure is the float valve built into all eWizards, that cuts power to the unit if the water drops below a minimum level. Even in a true runaway scenario, however unlikely, the relief valve would vent steam safely through the lid’s deflection plate. Once a maximum of 150 mL of water evaporated, the float switch would cut power to the heater. We built in these redundant safeties so every eWizard can deliver years of worry-free, café-quality steam - and we’re always looking for ways to make them even better.

Fantastic product and customer service that goes above the call of duty
I bought the Flair 2GO and the Nespresso pod adapter that fits it by end of July 26 from a UK distributor. The pod adapter developed a fault very quickly and I tried to communicate with the UK distributor for over a month (including calling their head office twice) without any reply. When I went straight to Flairespreso.com, a great customer service rep (Abbey R) picked up on the request immediately and kept trying until we found a solution that worked. The exchange was professional as well as showing real initiative to help. After using the Flair 2GO for over a month now, it produces amazing espresso and it rekindled my passion for coffee. So, all in all, great product backed by customer service rep (Abbey R) that reflects the passion about the product they make.
