Ya, you would think it was some kind of package deal.

Nice setup, I wish I had all that room in front of the machine!

I've been meaning to ask you, how do you like that knockbox?
I want to order one because it looks like it holds quite a few pucks.

So...how many pucks does that bucket hold?

The bumber will hold at least twenty pucks.

I can also recommend the Bumper knockbox. It looks big, but it really doesn't take up that much more footprint than the square one I had before. Yet because it is round AND the bottom is the full size (rather than narrower at the bottom like most the others) it can hold a TON more pucks. All solid stainless, and comes with extra knock bars too. Great product.

Scott,
Thanks for your input also. I might just pull the trigger on one.
So how many pucks do you fit in it?

I haven't counted, and I am not the one who usually empties it -- my wife does that, because she read something about coffee grounds killing slugs when mixed into the soil around her plants.

But I'd say it is probably close to 30.

Coffee destroys slugs, I'm guessing the acids eat em' alive.
Wow! - Close to 30 pucks, NICE!

I really like the Bumper, I'm not sure how many it holds exactally, but I can tell you I have had at least 20 in at at half full. Easy to clean as well. I use the center post as a portafilter support when I tamp too. Very happy with it

Due to the overwhelming amount of peer pressure and bullying, I've decided to shut up and order a Bumper Knockbox.

But I'm not going down without a fight!
So I'm returning fire with another Bumper product to you guys...
