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. Of course, a knock box takes up space, so this conveniently sized, cylindrical stainless steel knock box from Lelit is the perfect answer to those with limited surface space in a commercial or home environment.

Though perhaps less famous than other Italian espresso machine manufacturers, Lelit has still made an impressive name for itself as a prosumer mainstay in all strata of the home espresso scene, from entry-level, to mid-range, to high-end. This Lelit knock box with classic lines has been designed for convenience between espresso shots and aesthetics. Made entirely out of brushed stainless steel, and including an anti-slip base to protect your worktop from any blemishes, this knock box set will fit nicely into any espresso setup. The solid knocking rod is covered with rubber to absorb harsh sounds and vibrations from impacts. It has a maximum capacity of 150g or about 10 espresso pucks of 14 g each.

Just firmly tap the front of your portafilter against the bar and any mess will be contained inside the round bin. This Knock Box set includes an anti-microbial, microfibre cloth with a branded wooden brush with natural bristles to quickly do away with any loose grounds or spilt coffee.
