Crema Pro knock domestic

The hard to break designer coffee knock box. Environmentally friendly, designed by Crema Pro.  A strong manufacturer of espresso coffee machine accessories.

THE 175mm diameter versions work well in both domestic and commercial scenarios.   All things considered there is no better knock box available for the money.

The 110mm version is strictly for domestic situations. It is far too small to be sat next to a 2 group machine. The 110mm version does not have the capacity to cope with a commercial set up.

These knock boxes are tough, versatile and hard wearing. In use the boxes will not damage filter holders (portafilters), or mark work tops. The bases on both models have a 100% coverage of rubber. A nice touch. The boxes feel sturdy, look funky and inspire confidence in coffee making.

Cafelat Home Knock Box

The Cafelat Home knock box is a small unit designed for domestic coffee making. The boxes are small and sturdy. They come in red or black coloured plastic. The base has a small built in rubber gasket for worktop protection.

Most noteworthy of these boxes is the knock bar. These are sturdy and will no doubt last. The over all  design however is as basic as they come.

These units remind me of building sand castles on the beach as a kid. They look like something a garden centre would give to transport new plants home with. There’s no imagination or passion here, just a dull thuddy and rather ugly cheap looking box.

The gasket on the bottom does not look like it will last that well, it’s thin and unsubstantancial. I really do not rate these boxes at all. That said from a black and white point of view, it does what it says on the tin and if basic is your thing you might just love it.
