Our own group gaskets made from food grade FDA silicone. Unlike regular gaskets that are made from rubber these do not have any smell or taste whatsoever, and are easy to change since they will not bake rock hard like rubber does. If you have ever struggled to change an old gasket you cannot help but notice the awful smell and the black soot that comes off the rubber.  And that is what you are potentially consuming with each drink.

Cafelat have spent months testing and adjusting the material so that these have the same compression strength as rubber, but are also softer so that it is easier to create a good seal.

This is our new very high quality basic and ecologically friendly espresso tamper. The handle is made from Bamboo Wood, which is commonly used for a lot of wooden children’s toys and other kitchen utensils. It is then given a durable lacquer finish. We also chose rubber wood because has the look of tree wood despite actually being made from a grass.

Due to the nature of the wood there may be some variation from this photo in terms of the grain and the shade of the wood.

Care and Use:
* Do not soak the wood into water.
* Clean the wood with a dry cloth only.
* The item is hand-wash only.
* It is not suitable for the Robot – Manual Espresso Maker.

The new Large Tubbi knockbox replaces the previous Cafelat Knockbox and features the same shape as the much-loved original Tubbi Knockbox.   The larger size is a scaled up version of the small Tubbi so don’t worry the lovely proportions are still there. The size is almost the same as the old large knockbox and holds around 30 double pucks.

As with the current Tubbi knockbox (mid 2012 onwards), this large Tubbi features a press fit silicone gasket on the bottom which means you can strip it down and clean it however you want, wash it by hand or put it in the dishwasher.
