This compost bin for the kitchen is a lidded pail that holds 4 litres and is made of vitrified, enamelled steel. It sits on the worktop or under the sink and takes whatever is left over from cooking: peelings, coffee grounds, skins and herb stalks. The lid lifts off by its knob, and the metal bail with its wooden grip gives you something solid to hold.

The look stays classic: white enamel with a dark blue rim on both the lid and the body. The vintage design sits well next to wood, stone and open shelving, so the bin does not have to hide in a cupboard. It is made by hand in Europe and intended for catering kitchens as much as for the home; the country of origin is Spain and it is BPA-free.

Enamel is made by firing a layer of glass onto a steel body until the two fuse. That is exactly what the material description vitrified, enamelled steel refers to. Enamelware has long belonged in kitchens, from milk jugs to mugs.

Two details come in other materials: the lid has a knob to take hold of, and the metal bail carries a wooden grip. This carry handle is ergonomically shaped and makes the trip out to the compost area easier.

The capacity is 4 litres. The manufacturer gives the dimensions as 17.5 x 21 cm, so the bin needs about as much room as a larger pot and still fits on a narrow shelf or inside a base cabinet.

The bin is meant for households that collect kitchen waste and compost it, for gardeners with a bed or a raised bed, and for anyone who likes vintage kitchens. It is built for catering as well as for the home, so a professional kitchen works too, where trimmings are kept separate. As a gift it fits a housewarming, a thank you when you come to dinner or a birthday.

Keep the bin where you do the prep work, beside the chopping board or the sink, and peelings stop ending up in the general waste. The white enamel with its dark blue rim looks good enough to stay out on the worktop, and the lid with the knob keeps the contents out of sight. For the walk outside, hold the bin by the wooden grip, which the manufacturer calls ergonomically shaped. As a present it looks better still with seed packets or garden gloves inside.
