Drip tray for coffee table Novameta Z-DTFC-60/17/15

A drip-tray collects the liquid and spent grounds that escape during coffee preparation, keeping the worktop dry and the service area clean. It sits beneath the group head of an espresso machine or grinder, catching overflow from the portafilter and any residual drips that follow extraction. The tray's sloped base channels the waste to a front drain or removable container, preventing pooling and making disposal straightforward.

To use the tray, slide it into the designated slot under the coffee machine or grinder. Ensure it is level and fully seated so that any spillage flows towards the drain. During service, empty the tray at regular intervals to avoid overflow and maintain hygiene. After each shift, remove the tray for cleaning, rinsing away any coffee oils and grounds that may have accumulated.

The Novameta drip-tray is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitisation. Its dimensions of 600 mm in length, 170 mm in width and 150 mm in height allow it to fit beneath standard commercial coffee machines, providing ample capacity for spillage during busy service periods.

The tray's footprint of 600 by 170 mm determines the space it occupies on the worktop or under the machine. Its height of 150 mm ensures it can accommodate a removable waste container or connect directly to a drainage system, depending on the machine's design.

Cleaning involves rinsing the tray under warm water to remove coffee residue, followed by wiping with a non-abrasive cloth to prevent scratching. For stubborn stains, a mild detergent can be used, but harsh chemicals should be avoided to preserve the stainless steel finish. Regular cleaning prevents the build-up of coffee oils, which can become rancid and affect the taste of subsequent brews.

This drip-tray is designed to fit a range of professional coffee machines, particularly those with a 600 mm worktop footprint. It is a direct replacement for standard trays supplied with many commercial espresso and grinder units.
