Tray grid for Delonghi EC 260 coffee machines

What the grid in a coffee machine does

The grid is a perforated or embossed cover used on the drip tray, cup warmer, or other openings in the coffee machine's body. It allows water drainage, air flow, or protection from direct contact with moving or hot parts, while also holding cups or accessories in place.

When the part stops doing its job

Over time, the grid can become deformed, bent, or cracked, causing it to no longer fit properly in its place. A corroded or damaged surface can trap dirt, make cleaning more difficult, and in the case of grids near moving parts, also pose a safety risk. A loose grid may shift, rattle, or fall out of position.

When it's time for a replacement

A damaged or missing grid reduces the hygiene and functionality of the coffee machine, can cause unwanted water dripping outside the tray, or restrict air flow, which affects the machine's reliability.

How to choose the right grid

When choosing, be guided by the specific coffee machine model and the grid's location; check exact compatibility in the product's table.
