Know before you buy
Yes, the base is specifically engineered to fit the footprint and dimensions of the standard Cafelat Robot models.
The PAD insert provides a non-slip, stabilizing surface that prevents the espresso maker from shifting during the high-pressure extraction process.
Both wood types are durable, but they should be kept away from excessive moisture and direct heat. We recommend occasionally applying a food-safe wood oil to maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out.
The base adds a minimal amount of height, approximately the thickness of the wood slab. It is designed to be low-profile so it does not interfere with your workflow or clearance under standard kitchen cabinets.
This base is precision-cut specifically for the Cafelat Robot. While it may physically support other machines, it is not designed to accommodate the specific base dimensions or feet of other espresso makers.
