I could use some tupperware, but not the prettiest, or most inviting thing to live on a counter top where space is a premium.
I've got to do some measuring for the motta one, which might work.
Was wondering if there were any smaller alternatives.

I have the sage one and it is nice and neat, and cleans easily, am not sure you would want much smaller. Seems entirely functional, even seems to be the one Hoffman uses in most of his videos.

I'd say you're unlikely to get much smaller than 10cm, given the average portafilter is about 6cm diameter, you don't want to be forcing your customers to have a too much accuracy when swinging their portafilter!
Can definitely see the point of standard tupperware looking a bit naff on the counter top, but it's probably worth looking into things that aren't explicitly knockboxes for the stove-top.
My initial DIY thought led me to this (admittedly off-topic) creation: https://www.instructables.com/Pringle-Can-MIDI-Drums/

That Motta one you linked is 10cm, is that definitely too big?
I've got one of these: https://www.cafelat.co.uk/products/small-tubbi at just under 13cm and it's definitely on the small side!
It's been a while since I used a stove top, but do you need an actual knock box? Or can you just pick up any old cylindrical bit of tupperware that you can drop the grounds into?
