Review on Breville BES001XL Knock Box Mini: Sleek Stainless Steel Solution for Coffee Ground Disposal by Derek Cage

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Small size for tightness

This is a very convenient small size for a mini. This is a serious plus for the area, and a minus if you do not plan to empty the floor every day. For me, I just wanted a good place to drop the pucks, and there's no problem emptying the box regularly - you'll only get half a dozen pucks before they start piling up to the top. He is stable and strong. The stem is easy to remove so it can be dropped and cleaned. It doesn't wobble when you tap the puck and I had no trouble holding the ground and "splashing" inwards. Brushed stainless steel matches most brushed stainless steels. There are uneven indentations on the bottom for dishwasher water to seep into, so I can't recommend this for a deep clean, even though the material is dishwasher safe (I don't know). It's easy enough to pull out the wand and quickly wipe with a sponge if rinsing isn't enough. Buy this if you're short on space and don't mind throwing away regularly.

Pros
