Sage BES100GBUK the Knock Box Mini Coffee Grind Bin, Silver

Product Information

Do you go for a small espresso knock box to fit almost unnoticeably next to your machine but have to empty it all the time or vice versa and have a kitchen bin sized knock tube on your work surface. I have also managed to damage a few knock tubes in the past (mainly the rubber bar becoming cut up).

So you now you have an idea of what could go wrong if you don’t keep the Barista Express in tip top condition, its time to see just how easy it is to keep running perfectly for years to come. For example, we like the handy recommendation to always use coffee beans roasted within 14 days (featuring a 'roasted on' day rather than 'use-by' date) and extra information about the milk steamer functionality that explains that 'the right milk texture can enhance the flavour and mouth feel of your coffee'. The bean hopper is detachable, so simply remove it and shake out any remaining beans and dust and then clean properly with the supplied brush. The rubber base is also a nice addition to hold it firmly in place so it doesn’t slip around your kitchen work surface.Please note that we have not been given any free products, services or anything else by these companies in exchange for mentioning them on the site. Although it doesn’t hold as much ground coffee as others it will still take around 20 used coffee pucks so unless you are smashing out a large number of coffee per day this is sufficient volume. You may come across these in a cafe or restaurant and are usually associated with somewhere with high volume.

Although I have never personally made a homemade coffee knock box I would imagine it isn’t too unachievable given you have the right tools.

We have all done that at some time, and one or two solid taps is enough to get it into the bin, and out of sight. Choose between 'cups' for French Press or filter and 'shots' for Espresso to get the right dose for the coffee you're brewing. In some cases, you might even be able to use a Sage voucher code in combination with already reduced items. Secondly as it is made out of stainless steel (which is incredibly robust), it can slip around a little and if you’re one to give the knock bar a good old hammering then you may end up with a tray of coffee grounds skidding over your worksurface.

But before we get into all that, you really should understand what happens when you don’t stick to a cleaning schedule, this will help you understand the importance. The large wrap around splash shield is also a nice element for the busy barista that can occasionally miss the bar and end up with coffee grounds over the other side of the knock tube. Fear not though, if you stick to my Sage Barista Express Cleaning schedule detailed below, then not only will your Barista Express last a long time, it won’t even feel like a chore to keep it in tip top condition. It is otherwise locked in, which makes this knock box quite unique as many just rest on top of the box in grooves and can occasionally come loose and fall into the coffee grounds.The Sage the Oracle Touch is a serious bean-to-cup coffee machine that's sophisticated but still simple to use. One thing to think about and look out for with a coffee knock box drawer is they can sometimes break fairly easily. Attach the tube in the middle of the container by drilling two holes either side and then tape up the tube to give it a more cushioned knock. Always hand wash and disassemble all of the parts (if that’s possible), give everything a good scrub with warm soapy water and towel dry.
