The surface under the portafilter, free of limescale film again
The Linea Mini R drip plate sits exactly where a few drops go astray with every shot and where the full stream lands when you flush. It is a cosmetic part that gets wet every day – a thankless combination.
That is why it is the first part to show its age. Limescale draws rings where water was left standing, cup bottoms and portafilter spouts leave scratches, and if you have ever gone over it with a scouring sponge, you have a dull spot for good. The plate is replaced on its own, part number C.1.756.01.
When it is due
A new plate is worthwhile if:
- limescale rings no longer come off even with descaler,
- scratches make the surface look dull and blotchy,
- the plate is bent and no longer lies flat in the tray,
- an edge is dented, for example after transport.

Who it is for
For anyone who has a Linea Mini R in an open-plan kitchen, and for resale: a fresh drip plate changes the first impression of a used machine more than any polish. The plate is simply lifted out and replaced, and nothing on the machine is dismantled.
The drip trays of the Linea Micra and Mini R
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 at the tray. Which of them belongs to your machine depends on the model series – and, for the Micra, also on the finish.
Complete drip trays Linea Micra. Stainless steel, SA008, Black, SA008.60, White, SA008.62 and Light blue, SA008.63. All four share the base number SA008 and differ in their finish.
Linea Mini R. Light grey, SA727.71. Its own model series, its own number, its own price – a Micra tray does not fit there.
Individual parts around the tray. Drip tray grate Linea Micra, C.1.654.01, Drip tray cover panel Linea Micra matt black, C.1.656.60 and drip plate Linea Mini R, C.1.756.01 – that is, this product. They are sold individually and are not automatically part of a complete tray.
What goes with it
You can find more parts under La Marzocco Linea Mini spare parts and under La Marzocco accessories and spare parts. When refreshing a machine, the feet for GS3 and Linea Mini are usually part of it, and the group head gasket for Linea Mini R and Micra is the wear part that is due anyway. Descaler and cleaners are available under machine and grinder cleaning.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
In the evening we take the drip plate out and stand it on its edge against the wall to dry, instead of leaving it wet in the tray. Standing water overnight is the reason for almost all limescale rings that you can no longer get off later. This is our routine, not a manufacturer requirement. In the morning we then start with Nutty Delight, for cappuccino we reach for Cozy Chocolate and for strong cups Very Nutty. Everything under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are procured specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a trial fit 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 will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Does the plate also fit the older Linea Mini?
We carry it for the Linea Mini R. For an older Mini, send us the serial number and we will check the fit.

No, only the plate is supplied. We carry the tray as a separate part.
How do I clean the plate without scratching it?
With a soft cloth in the direction of the grain and a mild descaler. Scouring sponges leave dull spots that stay.
