  • This is probably upscale 1080p where each logical pixel is actually 4 physical pixels. So the monitor gets a 4k signal that contains 1080p logical pixels.

    It's basically how retina displays work.

    I think you can disable that by turning off display scaling or something.

  • Glad I could help!

    I would add one thing to my write up though. It's not nearly as portable as the pro2, signature, classic, neo, etc.

    Aside from the size, preheating the chamber with hot water doesn't really work well at all. It's still possible to pull shots but they come out pretty under extracted.

  • If you mean "quick" as in "how much effort to figure out how to make a good shot" then I definitely agree.

    If by "quick" you mean "how long from zero to espresso" I actually disagree. You can be pulling a shot in 8-10minutes with a flair. Most traditional (boiler, pump, push-button) espresso makers are still warming up in that time frame.

  • I had the flair signature that i later upgraded to flair pro2 (with extra "stuff" to minimize how long it would take to make 2 espressos) and I sold it...

    ...to buy a flair 58.

    All the flair machines are great. The 58 with the electrical heating element and pressure gauge is the best, of course. It's also the priciest. The rest are definitely usable.

    Other than using a relatively standard size portafilter and more traditional setup with a handle, the 58 with the electrical heating element also had an easier (and thus more reproducible) workflow. Can go "from zero to espresso" in 8-10 minutes.

    You're generally going to have to get a capable grinder (read: half decent burr grinder with sufficiently fine adjustments... plan on around $200 for electrical. Less for a manual.)... one of the flair models with a pressurized or flow control basket can probably produce decent results with a lower end burr grinder or even a blade grinder, but it's not gonna be as good as what you get from a good grinder and non pressurized/straight wall basket.

    You're also going to need a source of hot water. I assume if you're currently making aeropress, you have one. Depending on which flair model you're considering, you may want to preheat the basket... which means immersing it in your hot water source or putting it somehow over top of the hot water to heat up by steam.

    Other than that, the flair comes with usable tools (tamper) but you may eventually want nicer ones. Super recommend getting the pressure gauge for the flair too. It helps a lot in having a repeatable method of pulling a shot.

    As for how good the espresso is? It's really good. Once you really know what you're doing, you can absolutely be making the best espresso you've ever had with it. The full control over pressure profile, temperature, dose size, basically every variable is make it great. These are the same things that make the aeropress great... except the aeropress can't hit as high pressures and so can't actually make espresso.

    Fully recommend, but also fully recommend that you get the most expensive one that fits your budget.

  • Right of course. But I doubt they developed and published their app in-house is my point. If they contracted some developer, who knows if the ACLU themselves or some formerly contracted developer gets notified that the app is "old" (if anyone at all is notified).

    Edit: I was right. This is the app developer for the ACLU app you screenshotted - https://www.quadrant2.us/

  • Just ran into this as well with a different app.

    I wonder if the organizations the old apps are associated with even know.

    I imagine whoever did the app dev and publishing knows, but I bet a lot of them are contracted developers (and who knows if they're even still around)
