Know before you buy
The inset is designed to fit most standard compact espresso scales, such as the Acaia Lunar or similar sized models. We recommend checking your scale's dimensions against the Cafelat Robot's footprint to ensure a perfect fit.
The hardwood is finished to be durable, but it is best to wipe away any coffee spills or moisture immediately. Periodically applying a food-safe wood oil or wax will help maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out.
The base provides a solid, stable foundation for your machine. While it adds a slight amount of height, it is designed to keep the Robot secure during the manual pressing process.
Both woods offer the same durability and functionality. Choose Oak if you prefer a lighter, brighter aesthetic, or Walnut if you want a deeper, richer tone that contrasts well with the metallic finish of the Robot.
Yes, this base is specifically engineered to fit the footprint of all standard Cafelat Robot models, ensuring a seamless integration with your machine.
