Products

Below are some common questions about our products

What is PLA , and why do you use it for your coffee accessories?

PLA is a plant-based material that allows us to create lightweight, colourful, design-led espresso accessories with less waste. We use it because it supports small-batch production, custom colours, and precise sculptural shapes. Like most PLA products, it should be kept away from high heat, dishwashers, and prolonged soaking.

Where are KNOCDIC knock boxes and tools made?

All our products — from knock boxes to WDT tools — are designed and made-to-order in our studio based in Nottingham, UK. By crafting in-house, we maintain strict quality control and reduce excess inventory waste.

Are 3D printed tools durable enough for daily use?

Absolutely. At KNOCDIC, we engineer every product with daily use in mind. Our tools are crafted using high-quality PLA and go through extensive real-world testing to ensure durability, strength, and performance. When 3D printed with precision (as we do) PLA offers excellent structural integrity, making it ideal for knock boxes, WDT tools, and other essential espresso accessories.

Can I customise my knock box or WDT tool?

Absolutely! Many of our coffee tools can be
customised in colour or even engraved with your brand or name. Whether you want a unique home espresso setup or branded accessories for your café, just get in touch via our contact page.

How do I clean the knock box, WDT tool or other coffee accessories?

We recommend cleaning with room-temperature water and mild soap. Please avoid dishwashers or soaking for long periods, as excessive heat or moisture can affect the lifespan of 3D printed materials. Dry thoroughly before storing or using.

What’s the difference between your magnetic and standing WDT tools?

Both versions use the same needle setup for even espresso distribution. The magnetic WDT is perfect for tidy setups. It sticks to your espresso machine. The standing version is freestanding with a base for convenience and display.

Which knock box size should I choose?

Small is best for 1–2 coffees per day or compact counters. Medium suits most daily home espresso setups. Large is best for couples, heavier use, or larger portafilters. If you are unsure, we recommend sizing up.

Are your knock boxes dishwasher safe ?

Our knock boxes are not dishwasher safe. As they are 3D printed using PLA (a plant-based material), exposure to high heat and steam in dishwashers may cause warping or surface damage. We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and room-temperature water, then drying thoroughly.

Will my knock box warp?

Under normal use, no. KNOCDIC tools are designed for daily home espresso use. To keep them in the best condition, avoid dishwashers, boiling water, direct heat, and leaving them near very hot surfaces.
