Rancilio lower drain tray band 3gr 32331703

What is the drip tray bottom strip

The bottom strip is a trim piece located on the lower edge of the coffee machine's drip tray. Its job is to seal the space between the tray and the body of the machine, or its housing, so that water and coffee residue do not leak out of the tray and drip into the inside of the appliance or onto the worktop.

Signs of wear

Over time, the rubber or silicone edge of the strip loses its flexibility, cracks or becomes deformed. This shows up as water seeping out of the tray, wet stains appearing under the coffee machine, or liquid getting into the electrical parts at the bottom of the machine. The strip can also lose its firm grip, causing the tray to wobble or fall out of its frame.

When it's time for a replacement

A leaking or loose strip not only causes a mess, but repeated contact of moisture with metal parts can lead to corrosion or damage to the electronics. Timely replacement protects the entire bottom of the coffee machine from long-term damage.

Selection advice

When choosing a replacement strip, go by the specific model of your drip tray, as the dimensions and shape vary between different trays. Check compatibility in the table on the product page.
