Flate Barista Board – flat wall shelf with three portafilter holders
Portafilters, tamper, cloth and milk pitcher hang within reach on the wall next to the machine. The board is flat and low in design and, according to Flate, also fits where wall cabinets limit the space.
The Barista Board from Flate is made of 3 mm powder-coated steel with an oiled magnetic strip of European oak. Three holders for portafilters or tampers, a large shelf and a towel rail. Made in the EU.
Features of the Flate Barista Board
According to Flate, the board makes optimal use of the work surface with its wide but flat shape and still offers room for everything daily coffee preparation needs.
Towel rail
For the barista cloth. According to Flate, also suitable for hanging milk pitchers or additional hooks.
Large shelf
For bean containers, coffee bags or larger pitchers.
Holders with non-slip rubber coating
For portafilters and tampers of all kinds. The rubber coatings come factory-fitted.
Magnetic wooden strip
Made of natural oak. Easy to remove for cleaning.
The details in everyday use
Made in the EU
According to Flate, every shelf is made fairly in the EU. The powder coating protects against wear and barely shows fingerprints.
Magnetically adjustable
Thanks to integrated magnets, the oiled oak strip holds at any point on the board and serves as a spacer for the portafilters. Because the board is made of steel, magnetic accessories such as a dosing ring stick to it too.
Well thought out
Non-slip coatings on the holders make sure the portafilters hang gently, securely and quietly.

Who it is made for
For anyone who wants to keep portafilters and accessories on the wall instead of on the work surface and has little vertical space, for example under wall cabinets. The board suits most espresso machines with a portafilter, whether single boiler, heat exchanger or dual boiler. Our advice tool shows you which machine suits you.
For the holders: for anyone who wants a tamper that is affordable and precise, the Normcore Spring-Loaded Tamper from the Normcore collection. If you want a tamper made of solid stainless steel and wood, you will find it at Weber Workshops. For the towel rail: milk pitchers from Normcore or Weber Workshops, more accessories under barista equipment and tools.

What is the board made of?
3 mm powder-coated steel with an oiled magnetic strip of European oak. Made in the EU, weight 3.2 kg.
Does the portafilter not get cold on the board?
A cold portafilter is not ideal for brewing. Flate recommends moving the portafilter from the board into the group head while the machine heats up, or warming it with a short flush.
Can I see the board before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not the entire range. Write to us before your visit at [email protected] and we will check whether the board is there at the moment.
Roastery tip: There is room for a bean container on the shelf. Full-bodied and chocolatey with Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, for maximum body without acidity with Very Nutty. If you would like to discover a fruity profile, you will find it in Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
