What San Mateo County does
to a coffee machine.

Where coffee machines sit in San Mateo County: gated communities, coffee columns and built-ins, coffee for a crowd.

All of San Francisco Bay Area

Gated communities

Estate staff pass the technician's name to the gate ahead of time, and work on a built-in that slides out of its tall cabinet on rails is planned with the house manager so the kitchen and the cabinetry are protected.

Coffee columns and built-ins

Coffee systems specified from European makers depend on brew units, boards and milk parts sold only through those makers, so the booking asks for the model number, printed on a plate that usually sits behind the front door or next to the tank.

Coffee for a crowd

At a big brunch the coffee machine pours one milk drink after another, which heats the frother and the pump far beyond daily use; a short rest between rounds and a milk cleaning cycle afterward spare them both.

Atherton

Large Atherton houses may run two coffee machines, a plumbed built-in in the main kitchen and another in a butler's pantry or guest house, and the one that pours fewer cups is the one whose milk system dries out first.

Hillsborough

All of Hillsborough's water comes from the SFPUC, whose supply the town describes as about 85 percent Hetch Hetchy Reservoir water and about 15 percent from the Alameda County and Peninsula watersheds.

Woodside

Woodside's water comes through Cal Water's Bear Gulch District, which buys SFPUC surface water and surveys a company-owned watershed above the Lower Woodside diversion dam.

Belmont

Belmont, carved from the old Rancho de las Pulgas and incorporated in 1926, lies on the Peninsula about halfway between San Francisco and San Jose.

Burlingame

Burlingame, named for diplomat Anson Burlingame, has a long shoreline on San Francisco Bay and since 2010 has become a draw for biotechnology companies because it sits next to South San Francisco.

Foster City

Only electric, wind or human-powered boats are allowed on Foster City's lagoon, a rule meant to protect its waterways and keep noise down.

Half Moon Bay

A 2022 study counted more than 123 buildings in Half Moon Bay vulnerable to sea level rise, a measure of how closely the city is tied to its coast.

Menlo Park

Parts of Menlo Park get their water from Cal Water's Bear Gulch District, which bought its 2025 supply from the SFPUC.

Millbrae

Millbrae backs onto San Andreas Lake on its southwest side, and in the 1940s one of its hilltops was cut away to supply fill for the growing airport.

Portola Valley

Cal Water's Bear Gulch District has supplied Portola Valley since 1936, and in 2025 its surface water was bought from the SFPUC.

Redwood City

Redwood City's temperature records run from 16 degrees F on January 11, 1949, to 110 degrees F, reached three times, most recently on September 6, 2022.

San Carlos

The Spanish rendered the Lamchin people's name for the San Carlos area as "las Pulgas," the fleas, and local roads and a creek still carry the word.

San Mateo

San Mateo, the most populous city in its county, reaches west to Crystal Springs Reservoir, where the Sawyer Camp Trail follows the shore.
