Rocket Espresso Milano Knock Drawer – Stainless Steel
A short tap, dull and solid rather than bright and clattering, and the spent coffee puck releases from the portafilter. No clattering on the counter, no scattered grounds – just a quiet slide into the drawer below.
This is exactly the moment Rocket Espresso had in mind when the Knock Drawer was created: a stainless steel knock drawer that gives tapping out a fixed, tidy place, instead of leaving it as an afterthought at the edge of the counter. Coffee Coaching Club is Rocket Espresso's partner in Switzerland.
What makes the Knock Drawer special
How a moment sounds shapes how we experience it – that's true for the counter in the morning too. A muffled, solid tap instead of a bright clatter noticeably changes how the whole ritual feels, even before the espresso is in the cup. That's exactly the job of the rubberized knock bar: it dampens the sound while protecting the edge of the portafilter.
Rocket designed the Knock Drawer as a companion to its own grinders – Faustino, Giannino, Fausto and Super Fausto. That way, the whole espresso ritual, from grinder to knock-out, finds a fixed place on the same counter. With other grinders or machines, it's worth checking the dimensions first.

Roastery tip
After knocking out comes the next shot – and that starts with the bean. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with virtually no acidity: Very Nutty. For anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
