    Re: sunbeam cafe series knock box

    I too have the sunbeam knock box and think its great... i cant believe some of the tiny, light, plastic ones i see around... can only imagine how annoying they would be to use.

    I only have to empty mine maybe once a week, it stays in place, and is very quiet. It is well designed and easy to clean.

      I will measure the Bang Bang one day - it would hold 25 pucks with ease I reckon...its quiet and heavy and cleans easily and I reckon its great. If they have stopped making them its a tragedy.

      Cheers

        Sunbeam no longer show them on their site, however Coffeeparts have a list of knock boxes as long as your arm, youd be pretty hard to please if ya couldnt find something to suit you among them.
        Tragedy eh. :

            OH... How could they have improved it... A few minor issues as to the bar and teh rubber seal but a great product..

            If the revised unit is due to teh feedback of teh TOP Australian Barista that is now under contract to them... We can only hope... And cross our fingers...

            PS. I am not letting mine go... Best Sunbeam product to date..

              Thats because it does not involve electronics. ;D :

                they may have improved the profitability of it... smaller unit, cheaper materials etc... just cos its new doesnt automaticaly make it an improvement!

                Well see I need a knock box :-/

                      They are still listed on the Sunbeam website.

                      My Bang Bang has just been replaced by a Coffees Been, a red one

                      I broken the dowl in the middle of the Bang Bang and I was going to get my brother a pressy so I get the new one he gets the old one.

                      Plus the Coffees Been has a tad smaller foot print and I have limited bench space.

                        I was searching for the Bang Bang a couple of weeks back, but also had some trouble locating it.
                        I think however, that Myer may stock it?

                          Maybe im just not trendy enough, but its a pretty simple effort to make your own knock box with some 5-6" pipe and a chunk of broom handle. Infact ive made a few out of plumbing downpipe which you can shape nicely with a heat gun too..

                          What are the advantages of something like the Grindenstein?

                            Someone has gone to the trouble of making it for you, so you dont need to source materials and tools to make it.

                            It has a silicon footing so doesnt move on the benchtop and doesnt damage the benchtop.
                            It has been designed for the purpose, the bar doesnt damage the group handle.
                            It is dishwasher safe
                            It is aesthetically pleasing, something your plumbers pipe and broom handle may not be. WAF is very important and your version wouldnt make the cut.

                            but I am sure you were just being facetious :

                              No, vaguely serious. Im all for WAF, but im also all for good design (like who thought of putting red leather on the Silvia...).

                              It seems to me that some companies make things needlessly complex so they can charge more $$$ for them.

                                The Bang Bangs are back in production again,..i got mine just before Xmas at Radio Rentals for $35.00, they had about 6 in stock. "STREWTH" they are one solid piece of kit.
