The complete drip tray – when patching it up is no longer enough
On the Linea Mini, the drip tray is the component that sees the most water and gets the least care. Coffee residue, rinse water, knocked-out coffee grounds: everything ends up here, day after day. As long as the tray is watertight and sits properly, you don't notice it. When it's warped or rust starts to form on an edge, you notice it straight away.
This item is the complete drip tray in chrome, part number C.1.191.R. That makes it something different from the separate plastic tub, which we also stock, and something different from the grate on top. If you only need a tub, you're better served by the cheaper item – if you want to renew the whole assembly, you're in the right place.
When it's due
The tray no longer sits properly in its guide or can only be pushed in with force. Rust has formed on an edge or the chrome is coming off. The base is warped, so the water no longer runs to the drain but stays standing. Or a dent from being dropped can no longer be straightened out.

Important for installation
Behind and above the drip tray of the Linea Mini are the drain, hot lines and the machine's electrics. So only work on the machine when it is switched off, disconnected from the mains and cooled down, and after fitting check that the water runs cleanly into the drain instead of standing in the tray. We deliberately don't give step-by-step instructions here – if you're unsure, have the replacement done for you.
Drip trays, drip tray grates and top pieces in our catalogue
Tray, grate and top piece are three different parts, and the number of groups matters too. So that you order the right one, here are the items we stock:
If you're unsure which version your machine is, send us the serial number – we'll check it before you order.
Who it's for
For owners of a chrome Linea Mini whose drip tray can no longer be saved. And for workshops that refurbish a used machine and want to completely renew the most conspicuous part of the front.
What goes with it
The drip tray grate C.1.192 goes on top. The black version of the same tray has the number C.1.191.60.R. All other parts are listed under Linea Mini spare parts and in the section Original spare parts. For limescale in the drain, Machine and grinder cleaning helps.
From our workshop
Before we replace a drip tray in Bern or Zurich, we pour a cup of water into it and watch where it goes. If it stays standing in a corner, the base is warped – if it doesn't, usually only the drain was blocked and the tray didn't need replacing at all. That's our routine, not a manufacturer's specification, but it has already saved many an order. Afterwards: Nutty Delight, Cozy Chocolate or, for plenty of body, Very Nutty. More under Coffee beans.
No returns
Original 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 you order, 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 grate included in the delivery?
The documentation only says complete, without a parts list. So we don't claim that the grate is included. Write to us before you order and we'll clarify it.
What's the difference between this item and the plastic tub in your shop?
The plastic tub is the separate tub that sits under the portafilter. C.1.191.R is the complete drip tray in chrome and a different, much larger item.
Is the tray also available in black?
Yes, as C.1.191.60.R. At La Marzocco, the suffix .60 stands for black, .50 for white and .GR for chrome.
Does it fit the Linea Mini R?
The documentation names the Linea Mini. There are separate items for the Mini R. Tell us the serial number and we'll check it.
Can I see the part in your shop?
Yes. In our showroom in Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b, we'll show it to you on the machine.
