Rhino Coffee Gear Thumpa Floor Standing Knock Tube

The Rhino Coffee Gear Thumpa is the go-to floor standing knock tube for high-volume commercial cafs. Standing 860mm tall and built from high-density, shock-resistant polyethylene (HDPE), it was designed from the ground up to handle everything a busy espresso bar throws at it repeated impacts, heavy daily use, and the kind of treatment that would destroy a standard knock box. It sits on the floor beside the espresso machine, keeping the entire counter surface clear while giving baristas an always-accessible point to knock out spent pucks throughout service.

Virtually Indestructible

The Thumpa's HDPE construction absorbs shocks that would crack or deform lesser materials it can be hit, knocked, bashed, and dropped without coming apart. Commercial coffee waste solutions need to withstand this kind of punishment across hundreds of shots a day, and the Thumpa is built specifically for that environment. The flared collar at the top also catches any excess splatter during knocking, keeping the surrounding floor clean.

Designed for Easy Maintenance

The slotted knock bar inserts and removes easily for cleaning, replacement, or maintenance no tools needed. The top of the tube is fully removable for emptying, or the Thumpa can be used with a standard waste bag liner for even faster changeovers during service. Every single component is replaceable individually, meaning the tube itself has an indefinite working lifespan with routine upkeep.

Adaptable to Your Setup

The Thumpa can be cut down to a shorter height if your setup requires it useful where a full 860mm height isn't practical. This makes it adaptable to a wider range of bar configurations without needing a separate product. A shorter 300mm bench-top version is also available for setups that need something more compact.
