Round bowl for a modest coffee corner

For controlled thumping with less metallic noise

Helps keep the bowl in place on a flat worktop

According to the manufacturer, at least ten used pucks

The used puck has to go somewhere

After brewing, you remove the portafilter from your machine. There is still a compressed, often damp puck in the filter basket. You want to get rid of it before you can dose again, but that doesn't always go smoothly at every coffee station.

  • Coffee grounds next to the machine

    When emptying, crumbs easily fall around the worktop. Especially when working over a waste opening that is too small.

  • Keep walking to the trash can

    If the bin is on the other side of the kitchen, you break your routine every time between two espressos.

  • A hard knock in the wrong place

    A used puck doesn't always release immediately. Tapping it against a hard edge sounds harsh and gives you little control over where the coffee ends up.

A dedicated tapping station next to your machine

This round knock box from Barista Essentials is the silver stainless steel version with a diameter of 11 cm. You hold the portafilter over the box and tap the used coffee puck against the rubber-coated rod. This way, the coffee falls in one place.

The non-slip base helps keep the box stable. Do place it on a flat worktop and make sure you have enough space to move your filter holder freely.

Would this fit in your coffee corner?

For those who make espresso at home with a separate portafilter and have a small space next to the machine. If you make a lot of coffee one after another, a larger tray or knock box may be more practical.

Which beating pan do you get?

You will receive one round silver-colored stainless steel knock box measuring 11 cm, with a knocking bar in a rubber sleeve and a non-slip base. The manufacturer states that this size can hold at least ten used coffee pucks. The box is placed separately next to your machine; no installation is required.

The space and your movement are more important than the size alone

When using a knock box, first check if you can place it within easy reach. Hold the portafilter loosely above it without hitting the edge of your machine or countertop. A small box can be convenient, as long as you have enough space to tap safely.

Remove dry coffee grounds from around your workspace with a coffee brush. You can also use separate microfiber cloths for the espresso machine to wipe down your portafilter. This will help keep knocking out the puck and cleaning organized.

Don't hit harder, but tap out calmly and deliberately.

Frequently asked questions about an 11 cm egg beater

How many used coffee pucks fit in the 11 cm knock box?

Barista Essentials states that the round 11 cm version has room for at least ten used pucks. The actual capacity depends on the thickness and firmness of your coffee pucks. It is better to empty the container regularly rather than waiting until it is full.

Does this knock box fit my espresso machine?

The container sits separately next to your machine and does not require a specific connection. It can be used with an espresso machine that has a portafilter. Make sure you have enough free space to hold the portafilter above the container.

Can I remove the rod to clean the tub?

We're here to help you get the most out of your water sports adventures. Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Should I tamp harder if the coffee puck won't come loose?

No. Tap the rubber sleeve in a controlled manner and avoid striking the outer rim forcefully. Does the puck remain very wet or fall apart? Then also check your grind, dosage, and preparation; tapping harder will not solve that.

What is the difference with a folding shovel?

This knock box sits separately on the counter. A knock pad is usually intended to be placed under a coffee grinder, so that you use less extra counter space. Also view the official product information of the silver stainless steel knock box if you want to compare the version.
