2.0 out of 5 stars Falls apart, March 31, 2007

Nothing better than enjoying your own home roasted espresso in the morning, no?

This is the knockout box I am replacing. One reviewer didn't like the rubber hose. I don't mind that sort of thing. The size is fine. The quality is fine. The object is inexpensive and highly utilitarian.

The reason I am replacing this one, though, is that the nuts holding the bar come loose periodically, requiring you to tighten them. Forget to tighten them and one will inevitably pop off in the middle of a vigorous pounding, leaving the puck to disintegrate into flying grounds (happened twice). The manufacturer should add lock-nuts to the construction.

Also, the black base is painted fiberboard. Eh. Solid hardwood would be nice, but would cost more. Solid rubber might be better. So, I will get either this one RSVP Modern Espresso Knockout Box, or one from SweetMarias dot com, the site where I get all my coffee roasting gear.

Good sipping and good hunting.

I was a little disappointed in the quality. The bar for the knock box is coated with plumber's tubing, and the fit of the tin insert is a little chintzy. However, it does the job just fine.

The tin is too small for the box and moves around leaving scratches on the corners. The supplier was great great but the product is cheap. Also, it is way to big for most counters.
