Description
iKape V2 ABS Knock Box, a solid knock block rated for thousands of pucks before it complains. The rattling crossbar is gone, and it isn't missed.
Overview
The V2 replaces the traditional knock bar with a large solid knock block, 10mm thick and rated for roughly 2,000 to 6,000 knocks, which works out to about 3 to 5 years of use. The body is durable ABS and the wide non-slip base plate soaks up the impact, so the box stays planted while you knock.
Key features
- Solid 10mm-thick knock block instead of a loose bar
- Rated for 2,000-6,000 knocks, around 3-5 years of use

How to use
Hold the box steady by the rim, knock the portafilter against the block once or twice, and the puck drops in. Empty it daily and rinse the box out, ABS cleans up fast.

Why we love it
The classic crossbar always works loose eventually and rattles forever after. Swapping it for a solid block is the kind of fix that makes you wonder why it took this long.
