Coffee grounds container Stalgast 486014

A stainless steel container collects spent coffee grounds in a standard GN 1/4 footprint, keeping the worktop clear and the waste stream organised.

The container sits beneath the grinder or espresso machine portafilter. Grounds drop directly into it, eliminating spills on the counter and reducing the need to wipe between batches. Its low profile fits under most grinders without raising the machine, so the barista's workflow stays at the same height.

To use, place the container on the worktop or in a designated slot beneath the grinder chute. After each shot or batch, the grounds accumulate inside. When full, lift the container out, empty it into the waste bin or compost, and return it to its position. No tools or disassembly are required.

The unit is made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to coffee oils and moisture. The material does not absorb odours, stains or bacteria, and it withstands daily washing without corrosion. The smooth interior and rounded corners simplify cleaning: grounds slide out easily, and a quick rinse under the tap removes any residue.

The dimensions of 265 mm long, 162 mm wide and 102 mm high match the GN 1/4 gastronorm standard, so it slots into compatible storage racks, trolleys and under-counter cupboards without adjustment. The footprint also allows it to sit flush against the base of most commercial grinders, keeping the worktop tidy.

Cleaning follows from the construction: after emptying, wash the container with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry it before reuse. The absence of moving parts or electrical components means there is no maintenance beyond routine washing.

The container is a single model with no variants or accessories listed. It is designed for use with any equipment that produces spent coffee grounds in a GN 1/4 compatible format, including most commercial espresso machines and grinders.
