Olympia Express Knock Tray Complete – with Knock Bar, Made in Schwanden
The knock tray in brushed stainless steel, in the classic Olympia format — in the complete version with the knock bar already fitted. A heavy, sturdy tray, a robust bar with a rubber coating. An honest Swiss workbench for your daily espresso workflow.
What makes this knock tray special
A complete set, ready to use right away
It comes straight out of the box and onto your work surface, ready for your first knocked-out puck — done. No parts to source separately, nothing to assemble.
Solid stainless steel with a rubberized bar
Brushed stainless steel, with real weight that keeps the tray steady on the counter while you knock out. The knock bar is coated in rubber, which protects your portafilter and dampens the knocking sound. Made in Schwanden GL.

Who this knock tray is for
For anyone who wants a complete setup for their espresso workflow — without having to combine bar and tray separately. Also a great starter piece, or an honest gift for anyone getting into the world of espresso. Our take: invest once in a Swiss stainless steel tray, and it lasts for decades.
Accessories that pair with knocking out
A replacement bar, if the original one ever wears out: sold separately in our Olympia Express Collection. For alternatives with a different look, there are knock boxes in the Knock Boxes & Drawers Collection. Cleaning: a soft cloth, warm water now and then, done.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference to the tray without a bar?
The complete version also includes the knock bar — ready to use right away. The tray without a bar is more affordable, ideal if you already own a bar or want to buy one separately.
Does the bar damage my portafilter?
No. The bar's rubber coating protects the portafilter from impact when you knock out. Even so: knock out gently, not with force — that extends the life of every component.
How do I clean the tray?
Empty the coffee grounds regularly, and clean the tray now and then with warm water and a soft cloth. No harsh detergents or steel wool — stainless steel lasts for years if you treat it honestly.

Roastery tip
A heavy, well-built knock tray is one of those unassuming tools that makes the espresso workflow calm. The puck comes out, the tray stays put, no rattling, no sliding. An honest Swiss workbench for anyone who uses their machine every day. Our opinion, one of many.
