For everyone who makes espresso at home, this firetruck-red Dreamfarm Grindenstein is a solution for your used coffee grounds. Just as you have seen your barista do at your favorite cafe, simply place the Grindenstein on a flat surface, then remove the group handle from your machine. Turn the group handle upside down and bang it across the dump bar. PRESTO! No more denting the sink, or messy grounds in the trash; your group handle is now empty and you have collected a fabulous natural fertilizer for your garden or houseplants.

Nice little knock-box; at 4″x4″, it’s the perfect size for me: the only espresso drinker in the family. Works great, with a rubber grip-ring holding it to the counter. The price here was the best I could find anywhere, so it’s also a good ‘bang-for-the-buck’(ha,ha!). The color is a rather bright shade of red, so this one won’t be hard to find on a crowded counter-top! I’ve only owned this ‘Grindenstein’ for a week, so if I notice any durability issues, I’ll definitely post an update…

A nice little item – W. Thomas –
This is a good knock box if there is only one person in the house drinking espresso. Perfect for someone like myself who only has a double shot every morning. It holds about 8 double shot “pucks” comfortably. The color in this picture is accurate. The red definately stands out on the counter!

For everyone who makes espresso at home, this charcoal -black Dreamfarm Grindenstein is a solution for your used coffee grounds. Just as you have seen your barista do at your favorite cafe, simply place the Grindenstein on a flat surface, then remove the group handle from your machine. Turn the group handle upside down and bang it across the dump bar. PRESTO! No more denting the sink, or messy grounds in the trash; your group handle is now empty and you have collected a fabulous natural fertilizer for your garden or houseplants.

It’s just what we needed. After a major bill to a plumber who told us that coffee grounds collect like sand and clog pipes, we decided that for a knock box was money well invested.

As many have said, the box is too small for commercial use but it’s perfect for home and it even fits under the pour spout on the espresso machine for storage. The rubber feet and squat design hold it steady on the counter. The bar is wide, sturdy and rubber coated so it’s not likely to dent your filter unit. And the low cut front edge insures that you don’t accidentally hit the handle or your finger on the edge.

I think is too high of a mark-up, but nothing cheaper looked nearly as functional. If ours was stolen by a coffe loving burglar (I don’t expect it will break) I would buy another immediately.

perfect – Phesant Farm –
Solid construction, good size as fits perfectly under the group-head of my espresso maker (Gaggia Carezza), and is dishwasher safe. After a pricey plumber bill (apparently the garbage disposal doesn’t like daily coffee grinds)I finally purchased this and can collect the used pucks for my indoor and outdoor plants, compost and otherwise dispose of them in happy, good ways. At first it seemed like it might be too small for a standard size portafilter. Not so. From first use, total joy.

Small even for use at home – Janis V. – Latvia
PROS: Good for those who need save space. It can even be stored under the group head. The small size makes it easy to empty and clean. A good knock bar – no dents on my filter baskets so far. Good looking, nice design. Not expensive.

CONS: Somewhat to small. I would say, for home use only. Fills up quickly. Parts of the pucks occasionally fall over the edge. Requires a careful and precise knock. In this respect rectangular design might be better.

This knockbox is robust and ultra stylish. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loved it. However, 4 latte’s later and the box was full so we were a little disappointed with the size – about 10cm in diameter. Check the dimensions if this is adequate for your needs. Check Special Offer Price!
