Worth it
If you are making espresso then you are creating used coffee grinds; this knock-box is a solution for handling them. You don’t want to knock the filter basket onto the trash can to dump the grinds in the trash since then you would be loading fresh grinds into the device you just had in the trash (and the inner basket nearly always falls out of the holder into the trash can so you have to fish it out). Knocking used grinds into the sink is not such a good idea as the fine grinds will eventually clog the drains.
Our coffee drink of choice is cafe-au-lait so we make 4 double baskets of espresso every morning. How much you need a knock box depends on what quantity of used coffee grinds you have to deal with.
This is a nice looking well made knock-box that can set back on the counter, within reach without looking bad. The inside is dark so one really doesn’t see a pile of used coffee grinds out in the open. The sturdy rubber like knock-bar makes it easy to expel…
1st knock box
Very stylish, but much larger than expected. Serves purpose well. Double check dimensions when purchasing.
Not too large!
Got this after getting our first espresso maker and realizing that some sort of knock box is a requirement. Was a little concerned about the reviews that said this is larger than necessary. IMO it’s not. Any smaller and the grounds will end up on the counter. We have a teeny kitchen, too. But in this case, form follows function. And this works.
