What Is a Coffee Knock Box?

A coffee knock box is a dedicated container for knocking used espresso pucks out of your portafilter after brewing. It keeps cleanup faster, cleaner and more intentional.

Why espresso users need one

Espresso pucks are wet, compact and messy. A knock box gives them a proper place to go and helps protect your counter, bin and portafilter.
