Espresso Knock Box
The tidy way to dump used espresso pucks.
A knock box is the small bin that catches spent espresso pucks so you do not deal grounds directly into the sink. Every serious espresso setup has one.
This one is a sturdy, weighted box with a rubber-coated bar and an anti-slip base — the unglamorous workhorse that keeps your counter clean shot after shot.
