A coffee knocking pot — sometimes called a knock box or knock-out pot — is a small container used to collect spent espresso grounds when purging a portafilter. This model is sized to fit a standard 1/6 gastronorm footprint, which makes it straightforward to position within a counter-top coffee station or alongside other GN accessories without taking up unnecessary space.

In day-to-day café or hospitality service, a dedicated knocking pot keeps the barista workflow tidy and reduces mess on the counter. The stainless steel and plastic construction is practical for a busy environment — the steel body holds up to repeated knocking without deforming, and the unit is quick to empty and rinse between services. At 400g it is light enough to move easily but solid enough to stay put during use.

  • Fits standard 1/6 GN footprint — integrates neatly into an existing counter layout
  • Stainless steel body resists denting and discolouration over time
  • Simple to empty and wipe down between service periods
  • Compact size suits tight counter spaces common in café and bar setups

This is a straightforward piece of smallware suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant bars, or any site pulling espresso at volume. It is not intended for very high-throughput dedicated espresso bars where a larger or wall-mounted knock box with a removable bar would be the more practical choice.

If you are fitting out a coffee station and want a second opinion on what works well together, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Will this fit alongside other GN containers on a standard counter unit?

Yes — the 1/6 GN footprint is a standard size, so it sits neatly within most GN-compatible counter frames or drop-in units. It is worth confirming the depth of your counter unit against the 160mm depth of this pot before ordering.

Is this suitable for a high-volume espresso bar?

It is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as hotel breakfast service, restaurant bars, or cafés with a single espresso machine. For a dedicated high-throughput espresso bar pulling a large number of covers continuously, a larger knock box with a removable knock bar may be a more practical choice.

How straightforward is it to keep clean?

The open-top design and smooth stainless steel body make it easy to empty and rinse quickly between service periods. For a thorough clean, the pot can be washed by hand or run through a commercial glasswasher, though checking compatibility with any cleaning chemicals used is advisable given the plastic components.
