Flair 2GO – portable manual lever espresso machine for on the go
Six pivot points, one quick move – and the flat package in its case becomes a ready-to-use lever press in seconds. Add coffee, pour in boiling water, pull the lever, guide the pressure on the built-in gauge into the espresso zone. Whether on a balcony in Bern, in a city park in Zurich or in a backpack in the Alps: the espresso happens wherever you are.
Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Flair Espresso – the Flair 2GO is available from us. It's the travel version of the Flair family: built to fold down small and pull full-fledged lever espresso on the go.
What makes the Flair 2GO special
The frame is made of aircraft-grade aluminium (6061), the brew cylinder of stainless steel. The cylinder has thin walls and is protected by a silicone sleeve, which keeps the brewing temperature constant – no preheating needed. The built-in pressure gauge (6–9 bar) shows you where you stand during the shot. This version works with ground coffee via a bottomless 2-in-1 portafilter (40 mm), giving you a clear view of the extraction and full control. Folded up, it measures roughly 253 × 135 × 104 mm in its case and weighs about 1.67 kg.

Who the Flair 2GO is for
For anyone who wants to bring lever espresso along – to the holiday home, to the office, on a trip, into the mountains. If you're looking for a stationary setup with a stainless steel brew path and a larger portafilter, you'll find it in the Flair 49 Pro; if you want the 58 mm industry standard and electric preheating, in the Flair 58+2. Nobody needs a lever machine – whoever wants one knows why.
What goes with it
For life on the go, a hand grinder fits best – the Comandante C40 or one from the Timemore collection, both without electricity. For milk drinks, a Subminimal NanoFoamer. Then fresh beans from our coffee roastery.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to preheat the Flair 2GO?
No. The thin-walled stainless steel cylinder with silicone sleeve keeps the brewing temperature constant, so a separate preheating step isn't needed.
Do I need my own grinder?
Yes. This version works with ground coffee via the bottomless portafilter and needs a grinder capable of espresso grind. For life on the go, a hand grinder like the Comandante C40 or a Timemore is a good fit.
How big is it when folded?
In its case it measures roughly 253 × 135 × 104 mm and weighs about 1.67 kg – it fits in most travel bags.
Can I see the Flair 2GO before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the machine you have in mind is currently on display.
Roastery tip
For life on the go, bring a forgiving, dense bean – our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight run stable even under changing conditions. Light roasts are more demanding on the go, because water temperature and grind size carry more weight. That's our recommendation, one of many.
