The white drip tray that looks like it did on day one again
The drip tray is the part of the Linea Micra that takes the most and gets the least attention. It sits in the wet all day, catches every last drop from the portafilter, and gets pulled out, emptied, rinsed and slid back in.
On white, this shows sooner than on any other finish. Coffee leaves a brownish rim in the corners, limescale traces pale edges, and any spot where the tray has once been knocked stays visible. This finish replaces the complete tray in white.
When it's due
Replace the tray if it has a crack or lets water through where it meets the drain. If it is warped and wobbles in the base. If the stains no longer come off even with a coffee oil remover. If limescale has built up in the corners and won't go away. And if it has been dropped at some point and hasn't sat flat since.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Linea Micra in white whose tray is the part that gives away the machine's age. Light finishes are less forgiving, but that makes the change all the more noticeable.
The Linea Micra and Mini R drip trays
We carry eight items around the drip tray of the Linea Micra and Linea Mini R: four complete trays for the Micra, one for the Mini R and three individual parts that sit on or against the tray. Which one belongs to your machine depends on the model series – and on the Micra, also on the finish.
Complete Linea Micra drip trays. Stainless steel, SA008, Black, SA008.60, White, SA008.62 – this product – and Light blue, SA008.63. All four share the base number SA008 and differ in finish.
Linea Mini R. Light grey, SA727.71. Its own model series, its own number, its own price – a Micra tray won't fit there.
Individual parts around the tray. Linea Micra drip tray grate, C.1.654.01, Linea Micra drip tray trim, matte black, C.1.656.60 and Linea Mini R drip plate, C.1.756.01. They are sold separately and are not automatically part of a complete tray.
What goes with it
On top of the tray sits the Linea Micra drip tray grate, and in front of it the Linea Micra drip tray trim, matte black – which, however, is only available in matte black. For cleaning, the products in the Machine and grinder cleaning section are suitable. All Micra parts are listed under La Marzocco Linea Micra spare parts, the rest of the range in the Original spare parts section.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
Our own routine, not a manufacturer instruction: on pale trays, we let the coffee oil remover sit for ten minutes instead of scrubbing. Abrasive cleaners take the shine off the surface, and after that it picks up stains even faster than before. As a rule, we never put a Micra tray in the dishwasher. Once everything is back in place, we pull the first shot: on the Micra, we like the Nutty Delight, for something more chocolatey the Cozy Chocolate, for something bold the Very Nutty. All under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold once they have been installed or test-fitted on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a line and we'll clarify the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Is the drip tray grate included?
The documentation doesn't say. The scope follows the manufacturer's specification for number SA008.62. We carry the drip tray grate C.1.654.01 as a separate product, linked above. Drop us a line and we'll clarify before you order what you really need.
Does the white tray turn yellow over time?
Stains from coffee and limescale do occur and can be removed with a coffee oil remover for a long time. Whether and how much a tray darkens depends on use. We have no information from the manufacturer on this.
What are the tray's dimensions?
Dimensions, capacity and material are not stated in any documentation available to us. We don't make up numbers here. If you have a question about fit, the serial number of your machine helps us.
Can I replace it myself?
Yes. The tray pulls out towards the front and slides back in the same way. You don't need any tools or a qualified professional.
Can I see the part in your showroom?
Yes. In Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Let us know shortly beforehand and we'll have it ready for you.
