A truly great coffee workflow is built on a foundation of "mise en place" - having a clean, organized space for your tools and your craft. A cluttered counter can lead to a frantic and inconsistent process. We endorse The Bloc from Saint Anthony Industries because it provides a single, elegant solution to the most common sources of mess and instability in espresso preparation. It is the handsome centerpiece for a calmer, cleaner, and more enjoyable ritual.
The Bloc consolidates three essential functions into one intelligent design. First, it is a stable tamping station, providing a secure rest for your portafilter to ensure a perfectly level tamp every time. Its versatile design is compatible with a wide range of portafilters, including 53mm, 54mm, and 58mm sizes. Second, it is a dedicated organizer, with two inset holders crafted to be the perfect home for your tamper and distribution tool. Finally, it is a discreet and effective knock box, keeping your workspace tidy and efficient.
Built from a solid piece of American Hardwood, The Bloc is as beautiful as it is functional. The stainless steel knock box reservoir is perfectly integrated, holding up to six used pucks to minimize trips to the trash can during your morning routine. When it's time to clean, the reservoir lifts out effortlessly and is completely dishwasher safe. By bringing order to your tools and your workflow, The Bloc transforms your coffee corner from a cluttered area into a proud, organized, and highly functional station.
