For most home baristas, a knock box is one of those espresso accessories that can understandably be lumped into the “useful, but I can live without it” categories. Sure, it’s possible to get by just fine without one, but you’d be surprised at the world of difference having a reliable little knockbox right next to your home espresso machine can make for your regular coffee ritual. This round knock box made by Presso features a cutout for your portafilter handle to fit into and a crossbar that makes it easy to knock your spent pucks out between shots. It's also relatively small, making it perfect for the home user who doesn't want (or need) to take up much counter space.
