Brita
Brita Premium Stainless Steel Knock Out Box
£137.00(£164.40 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
A knock out box is one of the most used pieces of kit on any espresso bar — reached for after every single shot pulled. This Brita model is built from stainless steel, giving it the durability to withstand the repeated impacts of a busy coffee service without distorting or degrading over time. The 4.2kg construction feels solid in use, which matters when the box is being knocked against throughout a full shift.
The integrated knocking bar is designed to absorb and reduce the noise generated when ejecting spent pucks — a meaningful consideration in open-plan cafés, hotel lobbies, or any front-of-house environment where ambient noise affects the customer experience. The perforated top panel allows loose grounds to be swept directly into the box rather than across the counter, which helps keep the work surface clean between shots without breaking the flow of service.
Practically speaking, this box suits operations where the coffee station is visible to customers and presentation matters alongside function. Key operational advantages include:
- Stainless steel construction resists staining and cleans down quickly
- Noise-dampening bar reduces impact sound during busy service
- Perforated top keeps loose grounds contained and off the counter
- Stable, weighted base stays in place under repeated use
- Straightforward to empty and rinse between services
This is a front-of-house or barista-station piece rather than a back-of-house utility item. It suits cafés, restaurants, hotels, and any site running a dedicated espresso setup where the bar is used consistently throughout the day. For very high-volume sites pulling continuous shots across multiple group heads, it is worth considering capacity and how frequently the box will need emptying during service.
If you are fitting out a new coffee station or want to make sure this suits your workflow, our team is happy to talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
How often will the knock out box need emptying during a busy service?
That depends on your shot volume and puck size, but on a busy espresso bar pulling dozens of shots per hour it will typically need emptying every one to two hours. It is worth building a quick empty into your between-rush routine rather than letting it fill to the point where knocking becomes awkward.
Is this suitable for use on a front-of-house coffee bar where customers can see it?
Yes — the stainless steel finish and clean design make it appropriate for visible barista stations. The noise-reducing bar also helps keep the knocking sound less intrusive in customer-facing environments, which is one of the reasons operators choose it over a basic plastic box.
Does the knock out box need any fixing down or is it freestanding?
It is a freestanding unit and does not require any fixing. The 4.2kg weight provides enough stability to stay in place under normal use, though on a very tight or sloped counter surface it is worth positioning it against a backstop to prevent it shifting during a fast-paced service.
