Overview
The GORILLA GRIP Silicone Coffee Mat is a waterproof, heat‑resistant mat designed to protect countertops from spills, stains, and heat. Made from thick, BPA‑free silicone, it features a raised edge to contain liquids and a slip‑resistant surface to keep appliances stable. The mat is suitable for use under espresso machines, coffee makers, dish drying racks, pet bowls, and more.
Features
1. 100% Waterproof Silicone Construction
The mat is made from thick, durable silicone that is completely waterproof. It prevents liquids from seeping through to the countertop, protecting surfaces from water damage and stains.
2. Raised Edge for Spill Containment
A 1/8‑inch raised edge runs along the perimeter of the mat, helping to contain accidental spills and prevent messes from spreading onto the counter.
3. Heat Resistant & BPA‑Free
The silicone material is third‑party tested for heat resistance, making it safe for use with hot coffee, espresso, or tea. It is also BPA‑free and safe for food contact.
4. Slip‑Resistant Grip
The mat features a silicone backing and raised dots on the top side. This design provides a strong grip that helps keep appliances (e.g., espresso machines) securely in place, reducing movement and the risk of slips or spills.
5. Dishwasher Safe for Easy Cleaning
For routine cleaning, the mat can be placed on the top rack of a dishwasher. It is also easy to wipe clean by hand with mild soap and water.
6. Versatile Use
Beyond coffee and espresso machines, the mat can be used under dish drying racks, pet bowls, potted plants, garbage cans, or any area where a protective, waterproof barrier is needed.
