Rhino Square Knock Chute – Built-in Stainless Steel Knock Box
The portafilter hits the bar with a rich, short thud, the puck releases, and the coffee grounds silently disappear beneath the counter. No bucket in the way, no splashes on the work surface, just a clear space and the next shot waiting. This very calm and order amidst the hustle and bustle makes all the difference at a good coffee station.
The Square Knock Chute from our Rhino Coffee Gear Collection is a built-in chute: You install it flush with your counter, and the coffee grounds fall directly into a container below. This keeps the work surface clear and the floor clean.
What makes the Square Knock Chute special
It is made of 304 stainless steel, the same corrosion-resistant alloy that is standard in the catering industry. The knock bar is welded to the side, not just screwed. This distributes the energy of each blow across the entire structure, making the chute one of the most robust on the market. You'll feel it with every knock: a solid impact that will last for years.
A rubber sleeve covers the bar, protecting the portafilter and audibly dampening the impact. The surrounding rubber collar protects both the counter and your fingers and, like the sleeve, can be replaced at any time. This way, the chute stays like new for years without you having to replace the entire unit.
The small footprint is deliberate. It fits almost any position in the counter and gives you the freedom to choose your own collection container underneath, from a small bucket to a large communal receptacle. Nobody needs a welded stainless steel chute just to dispose of coffee grounds. You want it for the calm it brings to the workflow. Our opinion is one of many.

Who the Square Knock Chute is made for
For any counter where you can cut a chute: in the cafe, in the coffee roastery, in the office, or in your own home coffee corner with a fixed countertop. Those who brew all day long gain speed and cleanliness. Those who seriously make espresso at home and have a dedicated station bring a piece of the cafe workflow home. No coffee path is more right than another; this is simply an honest solution for anyone who wants to keep their space clear.
If cutting into your counter is not an option for you, you'll find freestanding alternatives in our Knock Boxes and Drawers that don't require any modifications.

A clean knock is part of the rhythm around the grinder and machine. When it comes to grinding, you have a choice: If you want a precise grinder at an affordable price, the VS3 from Varia Coffee Grinders is an excellent choice; if you're looking for the full package, you'll find it at Weber Workshops with the EG-1.
Tamping also benefits from a look at the workflow: For those who want a reliable tamper at an affordable price, there's Normcore from our Tamper assortment; for those looking for a tamping station with exquisite craftsmanship, Weber Workshops also has options. This way, the knock chute integrates into a smoothly running station.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Rhino Square Knock Chute
How do I install the Knock Chute into my counter?
You cut a suitable opening in the countertop and insert the chute flush. Important: Use the product itself as a template to ensure the dimensions are exact. You can place the collection container freely underneath.
What material is the Square Knock Chute made of?
From 304 stainless steel. This alloy is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, and the side-welded knock bar makes the construction particularly stable.
Can I replace the rubber parts?
Yes. Both the rubber sleeve over the bar (RWKC-SLEEVE) and the surrounding rubber collar (RWKC-HUSH) are available as spare parts. This keeps the chute looking like new for a long time.
Where can I buy the Rhino Square Knock Chute in Switzerland?
Directly here in the online shop, with delivery throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein. You can see it live in person at our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b, 8050 Zurich).
How long does delivery take?
Usually 2 to 4 working days within Switzerland and to Liechtenstein. We are happy to answer your questions by email at office@coffeecoachingclub.ch or by phone during business hours.
From the coffee roastery: A clean knock is nice, but it gets even better with beans that reward the effort. For most, we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight: full-bodied, dense, aromatic. If you're looking for maximum body with no acidity, opt for Very Nutty. And if you like it lively and fruity, discover something for the curious with Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
