I also use a Red Grindenstein. I actually have a Quickmill steel knock box worth around $200 mounted under the counter, but a few weeks ago a friend bought me a Grindenstein as a present because I am too mean (or poor) to buy one myself ;-). I have not used my under counter knockbox since and much prefer the Grindenstein...it's cheap but good.
I've since added a neoprene base, shrinkwrap to the bail posts, and a strip of neoprene tubing to the bail for a little noise abatement. For my purposes it works great. I usually fill it in a couple of days and then go dump it in the garden.

I use this one. If you make a lot of espresso or don't want to empty it every day, this is pretty good. Very sturdy. I cut a hole (it's pretty big) in the counter for my espresso set-up and it works well. click this(espressoparts.com).

I made my own. We had a bunch of new Rubbermaid bowls with the snap on lids, so I took one of them (maybe 1qt. size) and drilled a hole in the lip on each side and cut the handle off a wooden spoon to fit tight and that's it. Might have cost me $1.50 and works great. Can hold maybe 7-8 pucks and the wooden spoon handle is gentle on the basket. Later!
