The sale of the Duetto with the protective cup warmer mat that appeared for sale today reminded me to ask if anyone has any information of where to obtain a quality **heatproof** mat that can be trimmed to suit most machines on the area at the top of the machine where you store your cups. An eBay search generally has the rubberised cupboard lining non slip matting that is not heatproof ?

Wiedemann might have one to fit your machine. See their drop down list of machines. https://wiedemann.coffee/products/espressocover

I am using a basic black gripmat on mine (machine is black too) - works absolutely fine. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Y72MMQ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Excuse the silly question but what’s the purpose of the mat? I just stick the cups on top of the machine, should I not be doing this?

Just to stop scratches to the finish

@"Foxy2"#p35589 If you're specifically looking for heatproof, then I use mat meant for dehydrators. https://www.amazon.co.uk/GUGUJI-Premium-Silicone-Dehydrator-Sheets/dp/B07FP3NXMZ/ref=asc_df_B07FP3NXMZ/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=218591700132&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17888675156780997555&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006589&hvtargid=pla-492822254861&psc=1

@"dutchy101"#p35596 the unglazed pottery style mugs are a big problem in regard to scratching.

@"tompoland"#p35611 Same. I nearly replied saying ‘I’d rather just replace the metal top tray’… but it’s £170 😅 Oh well, wabi sabi and all that!

Cup holder protection.

Most machines get scratched on the cupholder section and a few manufacturers offer bespoke protectors so I was hoping to buy a small sheet and cut my own.

Thank you everyone for your replies, I will probably try the simple silicone perforated mat as suggested and explore the other suggestions put forward.
