Breville the Knock Box™

I was a little skeptical about spending money on a knock box, but this thing is solid and the rubber base really grips the counter. The bar across the top makes it easy to knock the spent puck out with one firm tap, and cleaning it out takes seconds.

I finally stopped banging my espresso puck against the counter edge—this box catches it cleanly with no mess. The angled interior directs the puck right into the bin, so cleanup takes just a second.

The rubber base keeps it from sliding around on my counter, which is a huge plus. Only wish the opening were a bit wider to fit my tamper more easily.
