Features of the Flate Barista Rack Mini
According to Flate, the mini model is designed for everyone who only wants the essentials organised and quickly at hand. It is also suitable for machines with an integrated tamper, which often need fewer tools.
Two holders for portafilters or tampers
For almost all portafilters of common models from many manufacturers. The holders have anti-slip rubber covers.
Hanging device
For barista cloths and milk pitchers.
Shelf
For other barista accessories. If you need extra space for beans, storage containers or milk pitchers, Flate suggests combining the Rack Mini with the Flate Universal Shelf.
The details in everyday use
Made in the EU
According to Flate, fairly produced in the EU from solid steel. The powder coating is robust and shows hardly any fingerprints.
Magnetic
Thanks to integrated magnets, the oiled oak strip can be freely positioned and removed, and it serves as a spacer for the portafilters. Because the shelf is made of steel, magnetic accessories such as a dosing ring also stick to it.
Thoughtful
For the mini model, Flate focused on the features that make daily use easier. Anti-slip covers make sure the portafilters hang gently and securely.

Who it is made for
For everyone who wants to keep two portafilters and the most important accessories on the wall instead of the worktop and has little space. The Rack Mini suits most espresso machines with a portafilter, whether single boiler, heat exchanger or dual boiler. Our advice tool shows which machine suits you. Our opinion is one of many.
For the holders: for everyone who wants an affordable and precise tamper, 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 hanging device: milk pitchers from Normcore or Weber Workshops, more accessories under Barista Equipment and Tools.

What is the Rack Mini made of?
Made of 3 mm powder-coated steel with an oiled magnetic strip made of European oak. Made in the EU, weight 1.9 kg.
Doesn't the portafilter get cold on the shelf?
A cold portafilter is not ideal for brewing. Flate recommends moving the portafilter from the shelf into the group head while the machine heats up, or warming it with a short flush.
Can I see the Rack Mini before I buy?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range. Write to us at [email protected] before your visit and we will check whether the Rack Mini is currently there.
Tip from the roastery: A small bean container fits on the shelf. Full-bodied and chocolatey with Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, maximum body without acidity with Very Nutty. If you want to discover a fruity profile, you will find it in Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
