If all you want is deep crema and rich taste,  without effort, the Smartshot basket is for you.

Classic Barista Control

For that more crafted, nuanced experience of espresso creation, the ROK Classic EspressoGC puts all the subtlety at your fingertips, literally. Dial in the perfect grind, tamp just right then squeeze the arms down to feel the magic coffee extraction. Not a coffee geek yet? Then try the Classic Explorer edition to take you on the journey from smartshot to god-shot.

Locked and Loaded

Fill the portafilter with your freshest espresso grounds, tamp down and lock in place. With the Smartshot edition you don’t even need to tamp and don’t have to use a fine espresso grind. Don’t be shy, it’s a robust piece of kit, built-to-last. 

Just add Hot Water

Whether kitchen boiled, or on a trekking stove, your hot water is cunningly delivered to the heat-insulating glass-composite pressure chamber by simply raising the arms. From here on, it's zero energy consumption – a manual espresso machine leaves electric pumps in a dystopian past.

Raise, then lower

Pulling down the arms applies all the pressure required for true espresso. Expect to feel some resistance, the amount is up to you.
A good shot takes 25 to 30 secs to extract all those lovely oils.

Great for all tastes

Americano, Flat White, Cappuccino, Latte, Macchiato… a good double espresso is the foundation for many coffee styles.
Want some frothy milk? Checkout our amazing no-sweat manual frother, and pump out some foam.

No Landfill

Our manual espresso coffee machine has no
electric pump or heating element to wear out, requires no descaling or regular maintenance. No wash cycles – just rinse under the tap. No standby power waste. No capsules. And the smallest carbon footprint in ts class  
And every improvement we have made over the years  have been provided as home-applied upgrade kits that are very popular.
You can see we are a little mad about sustainability, and we find it easy to give a 10 year warranty in stark contrast to the one or two years offered by others.

So far, so good

So far, so good. Indeed, having come from a fairly advanced semi-automatic machine, I am very impressed by the espresso quality and am enjoying the process. The only reason it is not a 5 star review (and, I admit it is largely my fault as your ordering page is not in any way misleading) is 1. having reviewed your different purchase options, I just assumed the most expensive commercial option would provide all of the optional extras. Notably the bottomless portafilter which comes with the model down! Again, my mis-read, but now I have to order that separately. And similar, for the overall high quality of the machine, the tamper and dosing ring are ridiculously cheap and really act against your quality statement. I'll be replacing both.

Aside from that -- very impressed so far. Thank you!

Beautiful Machine, takes some practice to use

I love the construction of this machine. It's not hard to use in principle, but you really have to preheat everything (cup, water reservoir, puck holder) and work fast to get a good espresso. Also the bean grind is critical to get the right flow rate. I'm still learning how to do this without making a huge mess, but I'll get there. In the end it can make a great cup of espresso if all goes well.
