    One replacement knock bar, Mini Knock Drawer version. The drawer and other equipment shown are not included.

Why this helps make better coffee

The bar absorbs the impact of your portafilter whenever you knock out a coffee puck. Visible wear, damage or an unstable fit is a reason to inspect the part. Hitting harder is not a sensible way to keep using a worn component.

A compatible replacement knock bar can replace the worn component while you continue using the rest of the drawer. The current supplier offers several model-specific variants. This page refers specifically to the Mini Knock Drawer, product code 8720682221990, not the large drawer or round knock boxes.

A targeted replacement when the rest of your mini knock drawer is still in good condition

Who is this suitable for?

For owners of the compatible Barista Essentials mini knock drawer who want to replace the individual part. Also check the drawer's fittings and condition: replacing the bar alone will not help if the problem lies elsewhere.

For whom is this not necessary?

This is not a universal bar for every coffee grounds drawer or knock box. The supplier offers separate variants, including versions for larger drawers and round boxes. If you have not identified your model, wait until the seller has confirmed compatibility before ordering.

Does this fit your machine, routine or use?

  • Compatibility

    The SKU of this listing exactly matches the supplier's Mini Knock Drawer variant. Check your own model, the old knock bar and its fittings with the seller. The current source does not specify dimensions precisely enough to confirm compatibility with another drawer based on length alone.

Advice from Geert-Jan the Barista Man

With over 10 years of experience in providing barista workshops at home, at businesses, and in Amsterdam, Geert-Jan is happy to share his advice.

Who is Geert-Jan?

From practice:

Geert-Jan de Baristaman: when choosing a replacement part, check the model and function first. Replacing the matching part makes more sense than buying a whole new tool, provided the drawer and its fittings are still in good condition.

My advice:

Worthwhile if the bar itself needs replacing. Do not expect universal compatibility, complete silence or a guarantee that your portafilter can never be damaged. You still need to knock out coffee pucks carefully and correctly.

Here's how to use this in your coffee routine

A barista tool only really works well when you know where it fits into your routine.

Get into the routine:

Check when emptying and cleaning your knock drawer

Usage:

Check when emptying and cleaning your knock drawer

Geert-Jan's tip:

When cleaning, also inspect the ends and mounting points. This helps you spot whether the wear is in the bar or in the drawer itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zwarte uitklopstang ligt op een metalen mini-uitkloplade

Does this bar fit every knock drawer?

No. This listing is for the Barista Essentials Mini Knock Drawer variant. The supplier offers separate variants for other drawers and knock boxes.

Is the knock drawer included?

No. This listing is for one replacement knock bar. The drawers shown in the photographs illustrate where it is used.

How do I know which version I need?

Check your drawer model and compare the old component and its mounting with the supplier's specifications. The relevant supplier variant is called Mini Knock Drawer and has code 8720682221990.

Does this make knocking out coffee pucks silent?

No. A compatible, undamaged bar is part of a good puck-disposal routine, but complete silence is not guaranteed. Placement, the drawer itself and the force you use also affect noise.

When should I replace the bar?

Inspect it if you notice visible damage, wear or an unstable fit. If the drawer's mounting is damaged, first have someone assess whether replacing the bar alone will be sufficient.
