Unfortunately, there is basically no counter room in front of the machine.
For me, general overspray is not as much of an issue, as is rinsing the PF. I only need a little more tray. Or...
I am actually thinking of attaching something angled that runs along the front edge of the drip tray, that would catch the water and roll it back down into the drip tray. My prototype might even involve some gaffers tape and ikea parts :-)
