The KBD43 is a stainless steel knock drawer for commercial espresso operations. It collects spent coffee grounds after extraction. Used in coffee shops, hotel breakfast services, and high-volume catering operations where portafilter workflow requires rapid turnaround.
Commercial Application
Knock drawers sit below the espresso machine counter. The operator inverts the portafilter and strikes the puck against the rubber bar. Grounds drop into the drawer without interrupting workflow or creating floor mess.
During peak service, baristas extract 60–120 shots per hour. The drawer holds accumulated grounds until emptied during service lulls. Stainless steel construction prevents corrosion from hot, wet coffee puck residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What drawer capacity is required for 200 espresso shots per day?
A: The KBD43 holds approximately 100–120 standard espresso pucks. For 200 shots per day, empty the drawer once mid-service. High-volume operations may require two units or scheduled emptying every 2–3 hours.
Q: Does the knock bar require replacement after extended use?
A: Rubber bars degrade under repeated strikes and heat exposure. Expect replacement every 12–18 months in high-volume operations. Replacement bars available from TurcoBazaar. Installation requires no tools.
Q: Can the drawer be removed without dismounting the unit?
A: Yes. The drawer slides out from the front. Operators empty grounds into waste bins during service without counter disassembly. Drawer capacity allows 2–3 hour intervals between emptying.
Q: Is the unit compatible with counters of varying thickness?
A: The 90 mm height fits standard counter voids. Verify counter depth accommodates 350 mm before installation. The unit mounts flush with counter surface. Custom void dimensions may require counter modification.
Q: What cleaning procedure is required for hygiene compliance?
A: Remove drawer and rinse with hot water at end of service. Wipe stainless steel body with damp cloth. Rubber bar requires weekly scrubbing to remove coffee oil buildup. CE certification requires daily cleaning in food service environments.
