El surtidor de café está sobre la rejilla apoyatazas.

In this sentence, surtidor means the part of the coffee machine where the coffee comes out — basically the spout, outlet, or dispenser nozzle.

Yes, surtidor can also mean a pump at a petrol station, but here the context is a coffee machine, so it means the coffee outlet.

De café is being used to show type or function: a spout for coffee / a coffee spout.

• el surtidor de café = the coffee spout / coffee dispenser
• el surtidor del café would mean the spout of the coffee, which sounds like you are talking about some specific coffee already mentioned

So de + noun is very common in Spanish for classifying things:

• taza de té
• máquina de café
• surtidor de café

Spanish normally uses estar for physical location.

So:

• El surtidor de café está sobre... = The coffee spout is located over/on...
• ser is used for identity, definition, or essential characteristics

Using es here would sound wrong in standard Spanish, because you are saying where something is, not what it is.

Here sobre means on, over, or above, depending on how you want to express it in English.

In this context, the idea is that the coffee spout is positioned above the cup-rest grid.

A useful thing to know is that sobre can have different meanings:

• about/concerning in other contexts
• on/over/above in location contexts

Here it is clearly the location meaning.

The main noun is rejilla, which means small grid, grille, or grate.

Apoyatazas refers to the part where cups are placed or supported — a cup rest or cup-support.

So la rejilla apoyatazas is basically:

• the cup-rest grille
• the grid where the cups rest
• in coffee-machine terms, often the drip-tray grid or cup-support grid

It is a technical/manual-style phrase.

Because Spanish often forms names of tools, machine parts, and objects as compound words.

Apoyatazas is built from:

• apoya- from apoyar = to support / to rest
• tazas = cups

So literally it is something like cup-supporter or cup-rest.

Spanish has many compounds like this:

• lavavajillas = dishwasher
• parabrisas = windshield
• sacacorchos = corkscrew

So apoyatazas follows a very normal Spanish pattern.

That is normal in this kind of Spanish compound word.

In many compounds, the second element appears in the plural even though the whole word is singular:

• un lavavajillas
• un parabrisas
• un apoyatazas

So tazas stays plural as part of the fixed compound, but the whole object can still be singular.

Because rejilla is a feminine noun.

• la rejilla

The word apoyatazas does not change that here, because rejilla is the main noun of the phrase. So the article agrees with rejilla, not with apoyatazas.

Yes, the word order is natural, especially in technical descriptions, manuals, and appliance instructions.

Spanish often uses compact noun phrases like:

• surtidor de café
• rejilla apoyatazas

In everyday speech, someone might say something more explicit, such as:

• la rejilla donde se apoyan las tazas
• la rejilla para las tazas

But the original version sounds normal for a product description or instruction manual.

They have written accents because of Spanish spelling rules.

• está has an accent to show the stress and also to distinguish it from esta = this
• café has an accent because the stress falls on the last syllable, and Spanish spelling marks that

So the accents are not optional — they are part of the correct spelling.

Yes, it sounds perfectly natural in Spain-style technical Spanish, especially in manuals for coffee machines or appliances.

Words like surtidor, rejilla, and apoyatazas fit well in that kind of register. In more casual speech, a speaker might choose simpler wording, but this sentence is very typical of instructions or product labels.
