What customers say
This knockbox earns high praise for its robust quality and thoughtful design, making it ideal for home baristas. Users consistently highlight the durable stainless steel construction and the professional feel. A key feature is the rubber knock bar, which effectively dampens noise, a significant benefit for quiet environments. Its compact 6-inch footprint is appreciated for saving valuable counter space. While its small size means frequent emptying during high volume use, the overall perceived value remains strong. The ease of cleaning, thanks to the removable bar, adds to user satisfaction. Customers feel the superior build and noise reduction justify the slightly premium price point.
Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed for in-counter installation. You will need to create a circular cutout that accommodates the 166mm outer diameter of the chute, while ensuring the 190mm flange sits flush on your surface.
Yes, the NBR rubber knock bar is fully removable. This makes it easy to clean or replace if the rubber eventually degrades from heavy daily use.
The 'C' shape NBR rubber gasket is specifically engineered to absorb the impact of your portafilter against the bar. It significantly dampens the metallic clanking sound, making it much quieter than standard metal-on-metal knockboxes.
We recommend handwashing the components to maintain the integrity of the ABS plastic and rubber parts. Because the knock bar and gasket are easily removable, cleaning them by hand is a quick and straightforward process.
The unit is constructed from 5mm thick, ultra-strong ABS plastic. It is designed to withstand the repetitive force of knocking out espresso pucks in both home and busy cafe environments.
