A tight, black tray under the Micra again
The drip tray is the part of the Linea Micra that takes the most punishment and gets the least attention. It sits in water all day, catches every last drop from the portafilter, gets pulled out, emptied, rinsed and slid back in. And it is the part you see from the front when you walk past the counter.
That is why it is also the first place where you notice a machine getting on in years. The black surface gets pale edges from knocks, a brownish film builds up in the corners that no longer wipes off, and at some point the tray no longer sits properly in the base. This version replaces the complete tray in black.
When it is due
Replace the tray if it is cracked or lets water through where it meets the drain. If it is warped and wobbles in the base. If the black surface is so scratched or faded that you can no longer get it properly clean. If limescale has settled in the corners and will not come off even with descaler. And if it has been dropped once and has not sat flat since.

Who it is for
For anyone with a Linea Micra in black whose tray leaks, is warped or has seen better days. And for anyone taking over a used Micra: a new drip tray is the most visible difference you can make to this machine.
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 one 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 – that is, this product, white, SA008.62 and light blue, SA008.63. All four carry the base number SA008 and differ in 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. Linea Micra drip tray grate, C.1.654.01, Linea Micra drip tray trim, matte black, C.1.656.60 and Linea Mini R drip plate, C.1.756.01. They are sold individually and are not automatically part of a complete tray.
What goes with it
On top of the tray sits the Linea Micra drip tray grate, in front of it the Linea Micra drip tray trim, matte black. For cleaning, the products in the Machine and grinder cleaning category are a good fit. All Micra parts are listed under La Marzocco Linea Micra spare parts, the rest of the range in the Spare parts category.
From our workshop in Bern and Zurich
Our own routine, not a manufacturer requirement: we empty the tray daily and rinse it once a week with a coffee oil remover instead of putting it in the dishwasher. Salt and hot drying make the surface dull over time, and on a black tray of all things you see that immediately. Once everything is back in place, we pull the first shot: on the Micra we like the Nutty Delight, more chocolatey with the Cozy Chocolate, bold with the Very Nutty. Everything under Coffee beans.
Returns excluded
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 you order, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick line and we will clarify the fit together. Your rights in the event of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Is the drip tray grate included?
The documentation does not say. The scope depends on the manufacturer’s specification for part number SA008.60. We carry the drip tray grate C.1.654.01 as a separate product, linked above. Drop us a quick line and we will clarify before you order what you really need.
Does the tray also fit a Linea Mini R?
No. The Mini R has its own tray with part number SA727.71, also linked above.
What are the dimensions of the tray?
Dimensions, capacity and material are not stated in any documentation available to us. We do not make up numbers here. If you have a question about the fit, the serial number of your machine helps us.
Can I replace it myself?
Yes. The tray is pulled out towards the front and slid back in the same way. No tools and no qualified professional are needed.
Can I see the part in your showroom?
Yes. In Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b. Let us know shortly beforehand and we will have it ready for you.
