I don't find that process very 'easy' considering it's HOTT to the touch... hot enough to make you want to think twice about doing it again. Also, banging a portafilter while trying to hold the filter in with a thumb has given me the pleasure of fishing through a garbage on more than one occasion. I don't see a use for a knockbox...yet.

An oxymoron (plural oxymorons or oxymora) (from Greek ὀξύμωρον, "sharp dull") is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms.

Works perfectly most of the time is not an oxymoron. I know it sounds like one but it really means it works perfectly most of the time, otherwise it works good enough!!!

Sex panther, 60% of the time, it works everytime!

Classic.
