Drip tray for coffee table Novameta Z-DTFC-50/17/15

A drip-tray catches the overflow, spillage and spent coffee grounds that every busy espresso station produces. Instead of running onto the worktop or into the cupboard below, the liquid and debris fall into the tray, keeping the area clean and dry throughout service.

The tray sits directly beneath the group head and portafilter spouts. As the barista pulls shots and rinses the machine, any drips, splashes or discarded pucks land inside the tray rather than on the counter. The flat base collects the liquid, while the low sides prevent it from slopping over the edge. When the tray is full, the operator slides it out, empties the contents, rinses it and returns it to its slot.

Made from stainless steel, the tray resists corrosion from coffee oils and cleaning chemicals. Its smooth surface allows quick wiping and prevents grounds from sticking. The dimensions of 500 mm wide, 170 mm deep and 150 mm high fit beneath most commercial espresso machines, providing a stable platform that does not interfere with the machine's feet or the drip grid above.

The tray requires no controls or power; it is simply positioned and removed as needed. Its 500 mm width matches the footprint of many two-group machines, ensuring full coverage across the dispensing area. The 150 mm height gives enough clearance for a standard drip grid while keeping the tray low enough to slide easily in and out.

Cleaning involves emptying the tray, rinsing it under a tap and wiping it dry. Regular removal prevents build-up of coffee residue and keeps the station hygienic. The tray is a single-piece unit with no moving parts or filters to replace.

This drip-tray is catalogued as a replacement part for Novameta espresso machines.
