I've been sorely tempted to cut the bottom out of my knocker and flush-mount it into the counter top, right above the composting. At my girlfriends house I've built a grill over the garbage to keep the greyhounds out of it, and I've mounted my knockbox into that grill so the pucks go straight into the garbage (she refuses to have compost...).
My machine sits above the cabinet that holds our trash, so I don't even use a knockbox. I make the shot, knock the puck into the trash (simple hit against the plastic bin), and then wash the PF & basket at the sink, which is right beside the machine.
Feels normal to me. At times I see knockboxes and think "man, I need one of those," but then I realize they are like grill tongs with thermometers - cool, but not needed for my current setup.
