This offer ends in:
The KFT1561 is a tall stainless steel work table built to support commercial coffee service operations. It provides a stable platform for espresso equipment, grinders, or ancillary beverage prep tasks at counters requiring 1150mm working height. The integrated drawer stores portafilters, tampers, knock boxes, or cleaning tools within arm's reach during service.
Commercial Application
Coffee shops position this table adjacent to espresso machines to create an extended workflow zone. The elevated height aligns with standing barista operations and reduces repetitive bending during high-volume service. The drawer consolidates small tools that would otherwise clutter counter space or require secondary storage units.
During morning rush periods, the 1500mm length accommodates multiple grinders or milk preparation equipment without counter congestion. Hotels use the unit in breakfast buffet areas to stage thermal carafes, airpots, or pour-over stations. The backsplash prevents water splashback from reaching wall surfaces in tight galley configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this table support the weight of commercial espresso machines?
A: The 0.8mm stainless steel deck supports static loads up to 73kg plus equipment weight. Multi-group espresso machines require separate equipment stands rated for plumbed water line and electrical service. This table functions as adjacent workflow surface rather than primary machine platform.
Q: What drawer capacity accommodates for portafilter storage?
A: The drawer interior measures approximately 400mm wide and holds 8-12 portafilters depending on handle configuration. Depth allows vertical storage of standard 58mm grouphead portafilters alongside tampers and cleaning brushes. Runner system supports 15kg loaded weight.
Q: How does the backsplash height protect against steam wand spray?
A: The 100mm backsplash extends above the work surface to intercept lateral spray from steam wands during milk texturing. It prevents moisture penetration into drywall or tile grout in tight counter arrangements. Not sufficient for direct spray contact; position steam equipment forward of the backsplash edge.
Q: Can the table height be adjusted for seated barista operations?
A: The 1150mm fixed height suits standing service bars. Adjustable feet provide ±15mm leveling range for uneven floors but do not alter overall working height. Seated operations require custom-height fabrication not available in this standard model.
Q: What cleaning protocols maintain stainless steel finish in coffee environments?
A: Daily wipe-down with alkaline detergent removes coffee oils and milk residue. 201-grade stainless steel resists staining from acidic espresso contact but requires grain-direction wiping to prevent streaking. Avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface and create microbial harbourage points.
