Drip tray grate for Rocket Mozzafiato, Giotto, R Cinquantotto and R58 – the surface everything gets put down on
The drip tray grate holds the cup and portafilter and is the surface where everything ends up in daily use. It takes hot water, coffee residue and the occasional knock from the portafilter when it is being emptied. That is why it is the first part to show how long a machine has been in use: fine scratches, dull patches, slightly bent bars.
Four Rocket model series share the same drip tray size – Mozzafiato, Giotto, R Cinquantotto and R58 – which is why this one grate fits all four. The part number is A019904346.
When it is time to replace it
The grate is due for replacement when it has bent in the middle and the cup no longer stands level, when bars are deformed or broken, or when the surface is so scratched that coffee oil settles into it and will not come off.
A bent grate is the most common case and usually the result of too much weight in one spot – for example when you lean on the machine while tamping. Once the grate is deformed, it no longer sits properly in the tray and rattles with every move.

Who it is for
For anyone with a Mozzafiato, Giotto, R Cinquantotto or R58 whose grate is bent or can no longer be cleaned properly. Because one grate covers all four model series, you do not first have to find out which generation you have.
It is also for anyone who has taken over a used machine. A new grate is the cheapest visible difference you can make on a Rocket – it sits right at eye level on the counter.
What goes with it
The matching tray underneath is the drip tray without grate for Mozzafiato, Giotto, R Cinquantotto and R58. Tray and grate together are available as a complete drip tray with grate, and for the Fast versions as a drip tray with grate for Giotto and Mozzafiato Fast.
The tray drain includes the sealing plug with O-ring, the matching lock nut and the plastic collection container.
For the more compact Appartamento we stock its own, smaller grate – the two sizes are not interchangeable. For an overview, see the categories Mozzafiato, Giotto and Cellini, Cinquantotto and R58 and R60.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
Our routine in Bern and Zurich: once a week we take the grate out and soak it in hot water with a little cleaning powder instead of just wiping over it. From above, a grate quickly looks clean – the underside tells the truth. And the portafilter is never knocked out on the grate, but in the knock box; most of the bent bars we see come from exactly that. This is our own way of working, not a manufacturer requirement. The right product is in our machine and grinder cleaning.
Once the counter looks fresh again, a fresh bean fits right in: Nutty Delight and Cozy Chocolate from our roastery are our favourites on the Rocket heat exchanger machines, and for maximum body without acidity Very Nutty. All roasts can be found 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 a machine. So before ordering, please check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick message and we will check the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Does the same grate really fit all four model series?
Yes. Mozzafiato, Giotto, R Cinquantotto and R58 use the same drip tray size, which is why part number A019904346 covers all four.
Does it also fit the Appartamento?
No. The Appartamento has a smaller drip tray and its own grate. The two sizes are not interchangeable.
Is the drip tray included?
No, you only get the grate. We stock the tray separately, and it is also available complete with grate as a separate item.
What are the dimensions of the grate?
Our documentation does not state them, and we do not give dimensions here that we cannot verify. The part number A019904346 is what counts.
Can I see the part in person at your shop?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
