The Rok’s well-built portafilter and removable basket attach using a familiar bayonet mount and are similar to those in consumer-grade espresso machines that you might find from Delonghi or Breville, though in a relatively small 40-millimeter size. The Rok features a mostly metal design, with a metal base, metal arms, a heavy metal portafilter with a plastic handle, and a plastic water chamber.Īt the bottom of the column, you’ll find a brew head, and you load your coffee similarly to how you’d use a regular espresso machine, filling up the portafilter with finely ground coffee, tamping it (using a supplied plastic scoop-tamper-leveling tool) and locking it into place. Attached to that are two swing-out arms that resemble larger versions of those you’d find on a wing-style wine bottle opener these operate the piston. Mounted on an oval base and supported by substantial metal legs, the squat central column of the Rok contains a piston and a water-loading chamber. With a little practice, you can produce an espresso shot that compares with what you’d pull using a medium-level consumer espresso machine, with a reasonable amount of crema in it. It edged out the very similar Cafelat Robot by virtue of its superior ease of use. If you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money and want a decent espresso, our choice would be the Rok EspressoGC.
