Normcore Heavy-Duty Espresso Knock Box (S & L)
A solid walnut base topped by a dark metal cylinder with a soft matt sheen – the box sits calm and heavy on the counter. The puck drops into the round container with a muffled, almost quiet sound, and nothing splashes to the side.
A heavy knock box with a walnut base and a round container, available in two sizes.
What Makes This Knock Box Special
The solid natural walnut base gives the box stability and a warm touch, while the carbon steel cylinder is robust and durable. Non-slip pads on the bottom hold it securely and dampen vibrations. The round container is slightly angled, which reduces splashing of coffee grounds and makes knocking out pleasantly quiet.
Size S holds around 1 litre, or about 20 to 25 pucks; size L around 1.8 litres, or about 40 to 45 pucks. Both are made of carbon steel, rubber and walnut.

Roastery Tip
A quiet, heavy knock box is part of everyday life; the bean makes the flavour. For dense, sweet espresso, we gladly reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight. If you like it full-bodied and round without any acidity, stick with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. This is our recommendation, one of many, and any bean you like is the right one.
