It’s a thing to sit an espresso jug on, over a heat source. This one is all bent over the years and I can’t recall what to name it when trying to buy a replacement. Anyone please?

Ah you see I thought a trivet was a thing for draining stuff, sometimes in a set of different sizes.
thank you all!

A trivet looks a lot more substantial like for placing hot pans onto work surface, not for sitting an espresso jug on.
