<p>You don't need one really. Slide a shallow bowl under the dripper as you remove it from the rack. Keep a towel nearby if you spill a few drops. Works for me. </p>

<p>Amazon has quite a selection, you just have to search for beer stuff, as they are not really known as coffee drip trays.</p>

<p>Scrap yard? It may be easiest to have a artisan make one at a machine shop.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My dad made a series of pour over bars for me out of wood. My mom faux finished them and put different logos on them for my wholesale customers. Design options are limitless.</p>
<p></p>
<p>He hollowed out the bottom base board of the structure with coffee cup sized holes to put the cups in. We also had a few with decanter sized slots. Its a lot more wiping and clean up, but easier in the long run…</p>
