Arkel Coast Drip Tray Grate – High Gloss
The bottomless portafilter opens up the view, the espresso falls in a honey-colored stream – and beneath it, a polished stainless steel surface reflects every movement. There's no need to lean in and watch the extraction anymore; it lies right in front of you, as if on a still surface.
What it is
The drip tray grate in high-gloss polished stainless steel replaces the standard grate on your Arkel Coast, or adds to it as a spare part. The smooth mirror surface shows the pull clearly and wipes clean in seconds with a microfiber cloth after the shot – no grooves where coffee residue can collect.
Why the view matters
The color and density of the stream reveal which phase the extraction is in. If you see the shift from dark brown to a lighter honey tone, you recognize early when the pull is turning, and you notice channeling before it reaches the cup. The eye brews along – that's our observation, one of many.

The full view comes together with a bottomless portafilter – find matching models and accessories in the Arkel Collection and among the IMS precision baskets. A scale belongs under the cup: affordable and precise in the Normcore Collection, with app and flow rate in the Acaia Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the grate fit my Arkel Coast?
Yes, it's made to fit the Arkel Coast precisely and sits flush in the drip tray.
What's the difference from the standard grate?
The standard grate has a matte surface. This grate is high-gloss polished and looks like a mirror – that makes it easier to visually monitor the extraction.
How do I care for the high-gloss surface?
Wipe it with a microfiber cloth after every shot. The smooth surface keeps coffee residue from settling in.
Can I see the grate in person before buying?
Yes, in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. Delivery takes 2 to 4 business days across Switzerland and to 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's dense and easy to read. If you're looking for a fruity experience, you'll find it more with our Wild Peach. That's our recommendation, one of many.
