Novameta Drip-Tray for Coffee Machines

A drip-tray sits beneath the group head of a commercial coffee machine to catch spent grounds, overflow and rinse water. Instead of allowing liquid to pool on the worktop or seep into the cupboard below, the tray channels it into a single container that can be lifted out, emptied and wiped clean. The method prevents slip hazards, reduces odours and keeps the station tidy without constant mopping.

The operator slides the tray into its guides until it clicks into place. Once positioned, it remains flush with the machine's base so that cups and jugs can still be placed directly beneath the spouts. When the tray is full or at the end of service, the user pulls it forward, tips the contents into a waste bin and rinses the tray under a tap. No tools are required; the tray is designed to be removed and replaced in seconds during a busy shift.

This Novameta drip-tray is formed from a single sheet of stainless steel, folded to create a shallow pan with turned edges for rigidity. The dimensions of 700 mm wide, 170 mm deep and 150 mm high allow it to fit beneath most two- and three-group coffee machines without overhang. The footprint matches the width of standard under-counter cupboards, so it can be stored on a shelf when not in use.

Cleaning is limited to the parts the entry names: the stainless-steel pan itself. After emptying, it can be washed with hot water and a mild detergent, then dried with a cloth to prevent water spots. The turned edges and smooth corners avoid crevices where grounds or milk residue might collect, making the daily wipe-down quicker.

The catalogue places this item under ‘Coffee Machine Accessories' alongside water filters, portafilters and group-head brushes.
