What people like
The product is widely appreciated for its elegant design and high-quality American hardwood construction, which adds a premium touch to any espresso setup. Users value its dual functionality, effectively serving as both a tamping station and a knock box, thus contributing to a cleaner and more organized coffee counter. While many find it a stylish and practical addition, some common criticisms emerge regarding the design and capacity of the integrated knock box.
Pros
- Beautiful aesthetic: Reviewers consistently praise its gorgeous design, high-quality wood, and how it enhances the look of kitchen counters.
- High quality: The craftsmanship, solid wood, and overall build quality are frequently highlighted as excellent.
- Counter organization: It helps keep the coffee station clean and organized by combining a tamp station and knock box.
- Dual functionality: Users appreciate its ability to serve as both a stable tamp station (compatible with 53mm, 54mm, and 58mm portafilters) and a knock box.
- Easy to clean: The stainless steel reservoir is removable and dishwasher-safe, simplifying the cleaning process.
Cons
- Knock box flimsy: The metal insert for the knock box is described by some as thin, tinny, or flimsy, with a tendency to bend or flex.
- Small capacity: The knock box reservoir has limited capacity, holding only about six standard pucks, which requires frequent emptying.
- Knock box wiggle: The knock box insert can have too much play, causing it to slide around or not stay perfectly aligned.
- Portafilter ridge: Some users suggest the rubber top piece could benefit from a thicker or taller ridge to prevent portafilter slippage during preparation.
