Flair GO Espresso Maker

For coffee lovers constantly on the move, the Flair GO Espresso Maker is a game-changer. Currently live on Kickstarter, this compact, foldable lever espresso machine, starting from just $134 (29% off the final retail price), promises café-quality espresso wherever you go. Whether you’re camping, travelling, or simply need a coffee fix outside the kitchen, the Flair GO makes it possible to brew rich, barista-worthy espresso without the bulk or cost of traditional espresso machines.

Designed with portability in mind, the Flair GO folds into a small, durable case that’s easy to tuck into bags, carry-ons, or even stow in a van or bike pack. But don’t let its compact size fool you—this espresso maker packs the power of a traditional lever machine, giving you full control over your brewing process. With a built-in pressure gauge, you can craft espresso shots just like your favourite café, pulling consistently high-quality shots every time.

One standout feature of the Flair GO is its flexibility. For the first time in the Flair Espresso lineup, the GO model allows you to brew with pods, offering ultimate convenience for those who don’t want to fuss with grinders and dialling in. If you’re a fan of the traditional method, fear not—the Flair GO Grounds model is also available, featuring Flair’s Bottomless 2-in-1 Portafilter for full manual control, giving espresso aficionados the ability to fine-tune every aspect of their brew.

Engineered for longevity, the Flair GO is built from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminium with anodized highlights, and a milled stainless steel brew cylinder. This ensures a robust, durable design that can withstand the rigours of outdoor adventures or frequent travel. It’s a tough little machine built to last, but make sure you don’t drop it in the ocean—it’s heavier than it looks!

Beyond its durability and brewing capabilities, the Flair GO is also designed with simplicity in mind. Its innovative design features six pivot points, allowing it to unfold easily into a fully functioning lever machine. With its no-preheat brew cylinder, you’ll be able to enjoy hot, perfectly brewed espresso for the first time, without the hassle of a lengthy process.

Whether you’re an espresso purist or simply need a quick, quality brew on the go, the Flair GO is the ultimate travel companion for coffee lovers. Stylish, durable, and incredibly convenient, this portable espresso maker brings the art of espresso to wherever your next adventure takes you.
