Build your coffee routine

Setting up an espresso station

  • Knock box: a compact 0.45 L box suits one or two drinkers who empty it daily; a larger box suits households and back-to-back drinks. A removable silicone bar protects the portafilter and makes emptying easy.
  • Tamping surface: a silicone mat or corner pad protects the counter and keeps the portafilter level while you tamp.
  • Tamping station: wood or aluminum stands hold the portafilter steady; stations with a drawer keep tampers, WDT tools and distributors in one place.

Choosing a combined station or separate tools? Read tamper station with knock box: combined or separate? and check whether the listed product includes a removable waste container or only tool storage.

Choosing your coffee equipment

What size knock box do I need?

For one or two drinks a day, a compact box around 0.45 L is enough if you empty it daily. If you make several drinks in a row or share the machine, choose a larger box so it does not fill up mid-session.

Why tamp on a mat instead of the counter?

A silicone mat grips the portafilter, protects stone and wood counters and gives spouted portafilters an edge to rest on, which makes it easier to tamp straight.

What is a tamping station?

A stand or board that holds the portafilter flat at a comfortable height, often with slots for a tamper and WDT tool. It frees both hands for distribution and tamping and keeps prep tools together.

How do I clean a knock box?

Empty it daily so pucks do not grow mold, rinse it with warm water and let it dry. Removable knock bars come out for washing; check the product page before putting parts in a dishwasher.
