Thanks!
I'll trundle down to the local ironmongers, knockboxes in hand and see if I can match the "lasts-forever-tubing" and also report back

3.9375in of 5/16 reinforced rubber gas line works a charm.
Cut the ends on a slight 5° angle for a snug fit in the box.

Just for the sake of thoroughness, have a look at Bumper here.

7" in diameter; 7" high.

Same for me... Grindenstein... and also in black. Compact, inconspicuous, reasonably priced & practical.

I love my blue grindenstien - its perfect in every way - I have no purpose for a larger knock box

In reality, it's all a matter of personal preference: I have a (red) Grindenstein, too, but I found it too small.

EDIT: Got it to match my red Olympia Cafferex . . .

Chalk up another one for the Grindenstein. I have a black one and love it!

What about the brown Grindenstein?

Thanks everybody!

I ordered a metal one and wood holder but it never arrived.
I will have to check up on it since it was 2 weeks+ ago.
If it has not shipped it seems like a resounding Grindenstein victory!
Mostly because small is good (at this point) due to rapidly diminishing counter space. :roll:

If you pull the trigger on it, you could perhaps be the first owner of a brown Grindenstein ever encountered in public. Don't know of any white Grindenstein owners either, come to think of it....

If you've got a counter space issue it's ideal. Fits between the group head and drip tray on most machines for storage when the brew day is done.

I stand by the one I made for cheap, if you dont want to decorate it it would cost under $11 and take a small drill to make... I bought a candy jar and pastry blender from wal mart and combined the
two.

I have beat this thing to hell and back and stand by it being the best knockbox I have had for home use.

hope it helps!
