Arkel Coast Drip Tray Grate High Gloss
The bottomless portafilter provides an unobstructed view, the espresso flows in a honey-colored stream – and beneath it, a polished stainless steel surface reflects every movement. You no longer have to bend down to see the extraction; it lies before you like on a calm surface.
What it is
The high-gloss polished stainless steel drip tray grate replaces the standard grate of your Arkel Coast or complements it as a spare part. The smooth mirror surface clearly shows the extraction and can be wiped clean with a microfiber cloth in seconds after the shot – no grooves where coffee residues can collect.
Why Visibility Matters
The color and density of the stream reveal the current phase of extraction. Seeing the change from dark brown to a lighter honey tone allows you to recognize early when the extraction is going awry and to notice channeling before it reaches the cup. The eye brews along – that's our observation, one of many.

Who it's for
For everyone who wants to complete their Arkel Coast with original accessories and keep an eye on the extraction – whether as an optical detail or as a replacement for the standard grate. Nobody needs it, your Coast also brews with the standard grate. Those who want it know why.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the grate fit my Arkel Coast?
Yes, it is custom-made for the Arkel Coast and sits flush in the drip tray.
What is the difference from the standard grate?
The standard grate has a matte finish. This grate is highly polished and acts like a mirror – making visual inspection of the extraction easier.
How do I care for the high-gloss surface?
Wipe with a microfiber cloth after each shot. The smooth surface prevents coffee residues from sticking.
Can I see the grate in person before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. Delivery within 2 to 4 business days throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
As a coffee roastery, we pay attention to the moment the stream changes color – with a full-bodied roast like Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight, it is dense and easy to read. If you're looking for a fruity experience, you'll discover it more with our Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
