While not strictly essential to the process of making delicious espresso, a good knock box is a very practical addition to any espresso setup, domestic or commercial. When you're done pulling your shot, it offers a neat and practical way to discard the used coffee grounds (or puck as some call it). Of course, a knock box takes up space, so this stainless steel drawer base is the perfect answer for those with limited surfaces, particularly in a home environment where you might use a grinder with a smaller footprint.

This knock box drawer base is designed to have a small footprint, the ideal size for home, and does a beautiful job of hiding away the messy affair of spent coffee grounds. It includes a rubber knock bar that will allow you to use it with minimal noise and wrist strain, and the drawer pulls out completely for easy cleaning and emptying.
