We started with the least glamorous tool on the counter
Barwright sells espresso bar tools direct. The first one we put our name on is a knock box, because it is the piece home setups are missing most often and the piece nobody enjoys shopping for.
Espresso moved into the kitchen faster than the habits did. Machines that used to live behind a counter, next to a purpose-built bin, now sit beside a domestic sink — and the sink is the one place spent grounds must never go. People buy a grinder, a tamper, a scale, and then knock their portafilter against the edge of a bin for a year because nobody told them there was a tool for it.
Why one product, done properly
A knock box is simple enough that the details decide everything: whether the bar lifts out for cleaning, whether the base holds when you knock firmly, whether the body shrugs off coffee oil. Those are cheap to get right and easy to get wrong, and they are invisible in a product photo. Rather than list a catalog, we picked the four things that separate a box you keep from a box you replace, and built around them.
