The full width, in one clean piece
On a four-group GB5, the top plate is in use across the entire working width. It creates height for larger vessels and takes the weight of jugs, cups and portafilters throughout the day. On a machine of this size, that is a lot of movement on a single component.
It bends faster than you might think, and a top plate that no longer sits flat rattles every time you set something down. The part number is C.1.012.4R, and this version is for four-group machines.
When it is due
- The top plate no longer sits flat and rattles.
- Jugs and tall cups stand unsteadily.
- The surface is badly scratched or dented.
- After a conversion, the matching version is missing.

Who it is for
For high-volume businesses with a four-group GB5, where the top plate is put under strain every day and needs replacing at some point.
What goes with it
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
On wide machines, we place the top plate on a flat surface after cleaning and look across it from the side. A slight curvature is visible there immediately, but never on the machine. This is our routine, not a manufacturer requirement. At our place, the first shot after a service is pulled with Nutty Delight – more in our coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for your order and cannot be resold after installation or a test fit on the machine. So before ordering, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick message and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Is the drip tray grid included?
No, only the top plate is supplied.
Does it also fit a 2- or 3-group GB5?
This number is the 4-group version. There are separate numbers for other group counts, just drop us a quick message.
What is the best way to clean it?
Take it out and soak it in a cleaning bath. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they damage the surface.
