Why America’s Test Kitchen Calls the ROK the Best Manual Espresso Maker
Buy our winner on Amazon:
If you drink espresso and think your only options for getting it are expensive coffee shops or investing in yet another pricey electric countertop device, consider this sleek hand-powered model. The ROK Manual Espresso Maker impressed our tastings and testings team with an attractive, simple design that quickly and easily produced a rich, full-bodied espresso (no plug or pods required). Now you can have espresso anytime you want (and for less money and space than those other options will cost you).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Attractive and functional, this machine produced rich, flavorful espresso and velvety crema with the pressing down of two levers. It was easy and intuitive; after just a few uses, we’d mastered great espresso.

i saw no crema from the ROC looks cool. i like to invert the areopress for 4 minutes flip over then press
This host's vocal fry is horrific. How did she get in front of a camera?
Im sorry but using pre-ground coffee is a sin
I am sorry !!!! But the ROK is a pretty piece of garbage. I too thought I had found love. Until it failed on me twice !!!! After fixing and upgrading it, I was sooo very sad. Then I found the Cafelat Robot !!!! All metal construction, beautiful design and it lasts !!!!! 🙂
Learn how to use a moka pot.
This is the most consistent grinde>>>allmy.tips/ROKgrinder?Bb-» r I have ever owned, electric or manual. The only drawbacks: very squeaky right out of the box and the rubber disk on the bottom does not keep it from moving no matter what surface I use it on.

The 11 inch tool… Haha roflmao
Flair presso much better
Me thinks Flair is better
Despite this horrible video, the ROK is actually a good piece of equipment.
However, it takes serious patience and repetition to dial it in AND it requires that you have the right grinder.
The ROK manual grinder is apparently good, otherwise you need an electric grinder in the $400-500 range and up to make what I would consider good espresso.
I love my Aeropress but it doesn't make espresso. Same with Moka pot. That's not espresso. Not sure why they included these.
Andrew Pernicano pitted this ROK against the Flair Espresso Maker & the latter won https://youtu.be/NG9LtEYJ1Eg
Vocal fry is like nails on a chalk board to me.
Nothing wrong promoting a product, but this vedio is not as informative as your other reviews.
What crema? Desperate to sell me this?
lisa cmon dont let this happen again
This is not America's Test Kitchen, this is bullshit. 'A moka pot doesn't work very well' …work well for making coffee? Millions of people use those things. They mentioned crema, but then when they showed the shot they make with their ROK, there was no crema.
I've never felt bad about Americas test kitchen before…what is this??
Thousands of dollars for an espresso machine? Mine was $49 and it even steams my milk too lol.
absolutely love my Rok!!!❤️😀
for me La Pavoni Romantica is the best and sexier Manual Espresso Maker
I can tell you right away that whatever it was you made in this video, it wasn't espresso. Maybe some shit strong coffee.
Looks like plain coffee to me and not an espresso.
they didn't show the creme
host speaks with too much vocal fry! please speak in natural tones which are inviting and soothing.
Okay i'm done, this is clearly not authentic. I mean, I get there are changes happening, but; not like this. Please.
1:20 – You don't 'insert a filter' …
I like the ROK
fry to asia they will say what are u talking about buy this only in US
The Aeropress is 13% the cost of the Rok. Does the Rok make an espresso 7.75x better?
can you do a video to review the best board for making bread? like kneeding flour, shaping bread, etc… 🙂
