What is a coffee knock tube?
Coffee knock tubes are a great alternative to traditional knock drawers.
They hold more coffee so you do not have to empty the knock drawer as often and the repetitive banging does not vibrate the sensitive electronics in modern grinders.
Are coffee knock tubes any good?
- The main advantage to a knock tube is capacity - it can hold up to 5kg or more before you need to empty the bag.
- As they are at the correct height - which will help reduce barista fatigue.
- If counter space is scarce - you can put a knock tube anywhere on the floor.
- Knock tubes have a space to clip on a barista cloth - so no excuse for a dirty portafilter.
