Fantastic espresso machine, smooth delivery

Bought both the grinder (first, because that made the biggest difference), a month later the espresso machine (who was I kidding).

Absolutely enjoy the fully manual process, both grinding the beans and making the espresso. I have three espressos a day, the coffee itself delicious, the process involved, mindful, and a lovely time for myself.

Could have been a bit more feedback, but questions were answered quickly, and the product arrived in good time.

Greatest coffee in town!

I read a lot about the rok before buying one and I had obviously high expectations. The machine is really well built and solid. At first it took me some time to understand how to get the best coffee and when I made it, it really felt good. The coffee I get out of it, at home, it’s just the best I can get in the city. It’s just better that in a bar. I can recommend it to anybody who wants to drink a great coffee at home. The other good thing is that it’s quick as well, I make myself a coffee everyday at 6:30 am before going to work. I lose approximately 5 minutes but my day is just better.

Party damaged package

The shipment was in time, but the package was slightly damaged. I'm not a packaging expert, but the conversion kit placed in a paper tube with size of an orange, should not be packed in an envelope due to the different shapes of the product and the packaging.It did not have any effect to the ordered item, however the consumer feeling was not perfect.

Great grinder with some improvement…

Great grinder with some improvement needed. The actually grinding feels really good especially coming from a handheld grinder that was hard to use when the weather is dry. ROK grinder is much easier to use. Seems to build up static which can be solved by following some guides to add a couple of drops of water into the container of coffee beans before grinding. I wish the plastic base felt as firm as the rest of the grinder. I feel like that will be the first part to break. The feet don't really stick to the counter so the grinder wants to slide sometimes. Parts of coffee beans tend to shoot out from time to time while grinding. Maybe some kind of cover that could be placed over would help.

This device is magic

Perhaps the best holiday gift I’ve ever purchased. We use this magical and convenient little apparatus every single day. Now we make espresso better than anything we can buy! We bring this thing everywhere we go, because we can’t survive a day without it. The ritual of making the espresso is part of the fun, and the final product is mindblowingly good.

The ROK is a solid choice for coffee fans

The ROK is a good manual coffee maker that will reward you with a fine double shot once you figure out the grind and tamping pressure. It's not the quickest way to make a coffee, but not that complicated either. Only issue so far I would mention is that the bayonet ring has cracked within a week of usage, and while ordering a cheap replacement part is not terrible, the shipping costs more than the item itself.

Confused at first however after watching a few demo videos I’m beyond impressed. A permanent part of our morning routine. Easy to clean and very durable. Each shot is the same consistent experience. Most critical piece of advice would be to purchase fresh quality beans to get the best experience.

-A Very Happy Customer.

My ROK GC Espresso machine…

I bought the ROK GC Espresso machine and after a few trials (and errors) can now make a truly amazing espresso shot. It sounds an expensive way to make coffee but trust me, it’s worth every penny. Looks good, performs excellent and is robust enough to survive a few knocks in a busy kitchen. Some reviews say it loses heat... just pre-heat the machine and your portafilter and that little issue is solved. It takes practice and a little patience but it’s well-worth a few dodgy brews before you figure out how to do it properly.

Customer Service A+ ROK Good espresso…

Customer Service A+ ROK Good espresso maker No Crema

for a hand held mechanical espresso maker the unit is well built, and produces good espresso, very well built machine. my only issue was how difficult it is to produce crema, if at all yo are able to as their videos show. Many different grind size, coffee beans were used to achieve what their videos show to no avail, if you are looking for a solid unit with fairly good espresso the ROK is that unit for you, but dont expect to produce crema. Great customer service though
