Normcore Espresso Knock Box, Coffee Knocker Drawer with Genuine American Walnut Handle, Under Grinder Knock-out Drawer, Removable Knock Bar and Non-Slip Base, 304 Stainless Steel, Size: S, White

Excellent as expected from the brand

I had really high expectations from a Normcore product but this one is quite lackluster. I have had multiple paint chips, screws fall out and overall the entire knockbox is not good. One of the things I didn’t expect is that closing the used grounds causes mold to appear very quickly compared to an open knockbox. The price is also shockingly high which would only make sense if it was more functional and hardy.

Good quality, sturdy soild, metal espresso coffee knock box. It's quite weighty, for such a small box. It's smaller than I had expected it to be. I can fit my electric milk frother on it. It's expensive for £79 though, too pricey for most. However, it works well, and it's exactly as described. The exterior has a rough painted finish.

The knock box arrived really well-packaged, with each part securely wrapped to keep the handle and box in perfect condition. The box itself looks high-quality right out of the box, and the American walnut handle adds a nice, stylish touch to the design. It’s compact enough to fit easily under my espresso machine without taking up too much space, which is ideal for smaller kitchens. The handle feels sturdy and smooth, making it easy and comfortable to use without any strain on your hands. The knock bar is just the right firmness to handle the pressure needed to knock out used coffee grounds, so there’s no mess or struggle. It holds a decent amount of grounds before needing to be emptied, which keeps my routine smooth and quick. Overall, it’s a really solid, well-made piece that looks great on the counter and performs exactly as I’d hoped. The excellent packaging and quality design make it feel like a premium addition to any coffee setup, and it’s perfect for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of elegance with practicality.

This espresso knock box arrived in a branded cardboard box and was protected with foam padding. The box measures 28cm in length, 14cm in width and 7cm in height which is an ideal size to sit next to my coffee machine and housing my espresso mugs on top. The drawer is made from 304 stainless steel and is white in colour with an American walnut handle – it feels very premium and heavy duty. The espresso knock box has nylon runners which means that it slides open easily and features x6 non slip feet which means it stays in place well whilst protecting your countertops. The metal surface means that it is easy to clean out and the knock bar is very sturdy to knock out your spent ground coffee. Priced at £79 at the time of reviewing, this is an excellent knock box which feels very premium and allows you to store items such as your coffee grinder on top of it as well, saving precious countertop space. It feels like it could last a lifetime and looks very stylish to boot – I would definitely be happy to recommend.
