Very stylish, but much larger than expected. Serves purpose well. Double check dimensions when purchasing.

This knock box offers a professional way to knock espresso grounds from the handle without splattering all over the kitchen OR having to empty the box after a few servings. It is also a modern, professional looking box made of durable composite materials and is easier to clean than metal.

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 the used grinds to reload with fresh. The inner liner removes so that you can dump the grinds easily (we put our used grinds into our NatureMill composter). It can hold a lot of used grinds and the grinds do not smell or create odor problems sitting out. The knock=box just looks like another counter cannister to the casual observer.

A functional attractive solution. How much used coffee grinds do you generate, how are you handling them now? We have had this for over a year and are glad we bought it.

I am an engineer and own several Breville products. They are all smartly designed, extremely easy to operate and maintain. They are also very well put together. You can tell Quality Assurance is important to this company!

My hats off!!!

While the price was more than I really wanted to spend for coffee knock box, I really am happy with this purchase. It is stylishly and intelligently designed and constructed with a solid, deep, removable and easy to clean bin and there is an impact ring around the base to quiet and minimize impact from the vibration caused while grounds are knocked into it.

Probably larger than needed for home use, but I like size and have plenty of room for it next to my Breville machine. Brushed finish is a dead on match too. Sturdy, well constructed and easy to clean.

Title says it all. I even use mine to put small veggie scraps in before taking a trip to the compost heap.

Little bigger than expected..... but works great! Given as a companion gift to a Breville machine

This knock box is great! It looks nice on our counter and is very sturdy. The only thing about this product that surprised me was that it is a bit bigger than I expected. If you are a bit short on counter space take a look at the dimensions before purchasing. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!

Quality knock box. Stainless steel outside shell. Easy to use. Easy to clean. I see no cons about it.
