The Lelit PLA360S is a cylindrical knock box designed for the efficient disposal of used coffee grounds. Featuring a compact design with classic lines, this accessory is constructed from brushed stainless steel to ensure durability and a professional appearance in any coffee station. It includes a solid knocking rod covered in rubber to effectively absorb impact during use and an anti-slip base that protects work surfaces from scratches.

Advantages

This knock box offers a robust build quality that stands up to daily use while maintaining a small footprint on your countertop. The combination of high-quality stainless steel and a rubber-coated knocking bar ensures that the unit remains stable and quiet during operation. Its design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, and the included accessories provide everything needed to keep your coffee equipment in optimal condition.

Suitable for

• Home coffee stations
• Professional barista setups
• Disposal of used coffee grounds from portafilters

When it may not be suitable

This knock box may not be ideal for high-volume commercial environments where a larger capacity container is required to minimize the frequency of emptying. Additionally, users with very limited counter space should verify the dimensions to ensure it fits their specific setup.

Key specifications

• Material: Brushed stainless steel
• Capacity: Up to 10 coffee grounds of 14 g each
• Features: Rubber-coated knocking rod and anti-slip base
• Included accessories: Microfiber cloth and wooden brush with natural bristles

How to use

To use the knock box, simply hold your portafilter over the rubber-coated rod and tap it firmly to release the used coffee puck. The rubber coating helps dampen the sound and protects the portafilter from damage. Once the container reaches its capacity, remove the grounds and wipe the interior clean with the provided microfiber cloth. Use the included wooden brush to remove any residual coffee particles from the rod or the edges of the box.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the available space on your countertop to ensure the cylindrical design fits your workflow.
• Consider the volume of coffee you prepare daily to ensure the 10-puck capacity meets your needs.
• Ensure the stainless steel finish matches your existing coffee machine and accessories.

Usage recommendations

Regularly empty the knock box to prevent the buildup of moisture and coffee oils. Use the provided brush to clean the knocking rod after each session to maintain hygiene and prolong the life of the rubber coating.
