    Does anyone know where I can purchase a Sunbeam Cafe Series Knock Box?

    Re: sunbeam cafe series knock box

    I recently read a post saying or referring that they are not making them any more
    If some retailers have stock that would be the last of them

      Howie,

      Google a webiste called "queen b". NZ web based homewares store. I searched high and low to get mine about 3 months ago and these guys were the only ones that had some in stock. Not sure if they still have themm but worth a try.

      I think mine cost $70 landed.

      And yes, they have indeed stopped making them.

          CoffeeParts stock the Bumber knock tube. Very similar and is around $60.

              Only better if you want to empty it every time you make coffee IMHO...Way too small for most...

                I know people with the Grindstein and have so troubles cleaning it, you can buy a larger sized one that holds more if size is a problem for you.

                Comes in diffrent colours if you like that kind of thing and cheaper than a sunbeam. Thats just my opinion though i was not telling you what to think.

                      The Grindstein do suffer from the small mans syndrome, however they are a brilliant little unt, cheap, sturdy, strong and dishwasher safe. I just throw my pucks out every couple days no biggys!!
                      I thnk th Stein is great!!

                        Ouch. I havent formally counted but I reckon mine holds at least 6 pucks (doubles). They just keep on tucking themselves in there. Its the Tardis of knockboxes! :P

                          Another vote for the Grinstein, I have one at home and one at work.
                          Always amazes me how after a good clean they come up looking brand new.

                          OK theyre a bit small but if youre making 5 coffees a day then youre probably spending 30mins of each day at your machines. Whats a few extra seconds to empty the grounds bin?

                            I have seen a Breville knock-box in the shops for $45 ...Big W, Retravision, Harvey Norman just to name a few. Quite a large metal box/tube thingy (brushed stainless) with plastic insert that comes out...very sturdy looking and feeling. Looks pretty much identical to the Sunbeam box...

                              Mmm, dont mean to shoot you down. They are indeed quite different beasts. To start with the Breville is loaded with plastic. The Sunbeam is a fair bit stronger i would say. The breville would probably be easier to clean though, given there are less parts to pull apart! Horses for courses i guess! Love my Sunbeam knock box though!!
