Troubleshooting
Knock box slides during use
Ensure the anti-slip base is clean and making full contact with a dry, flat countertop. If the base is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry completely.
Coffee grounds stick to the knock rod
Wipe the rubber surface of the knock rod with a damp cloth after each use. Ensure the grounds are fully removed before the next knocking action.
Stainless steel surface appears dull
Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water, then dry thoroughly with the provided microfiber cloth to restore shine and prevent water spots.
Knocking is too loud
Ensure you are knocking with a firm, downward motion. The rubber coating on the rod is designed to absorb impact and reduce noise. Ensure the knock box is stable on the counter.
