I have been using this machine for a while and love it. Ideal for camping or a nice present for any coffee aficionados out there.

The ROK Manual Espresso Maker is an electricity free method of preparing an espresso.

This particular model has been re-engineered to deliver twice the performance of the original model; it has a new glass composite chamber & plunger design that delivers better extraction and crema.

YOU ARE IN CONTROL

Feel the experience. You drive the finely engineered gearing that lowers the piston to generate the pressure to extract the coffee oils to create the perfect espresso. Designed by one of the UK's leading product innovators, there's over 10 years of 'know-how' built into every ROK. See it hands-on here.

NO ELECTRICITY, NO EXPENSIVE PODS

There is no lock-in to expensive pods - you choose the coffee. [Based on two espressos a day you could save over 300* a year compared to buying Nespresso capsules. And you won't be binning 730g of aluminium**]. Plus the ROK itself uses no electricity. Just add hot water and enjoy the hands on experience. Order yours here

TAKE YOUR TIME, BECOME A HOME BARISTA

Allow some time to master the ROK. It's not got a manufacturer's preset button - you are the settings. There are so many variables to a perfect espresso from the freshness and fineness of the grind to maintaining temperature of the water. The ROK is like the finest pen in the world, but it relies on you being able to write! Experiment. Some people get crema right out of the box. Some don't. Once mastered you will be truly amazed at the results you can achieve.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED

The complete kit comes with everything you need to make all the coffees you love. Espressos, Lattes, Americanos, Cappuccinos.

Package includes:

  • 10 yr warranty
  • ROK espresso maker
  • Portafilter
  • Combined coffee scoop and tamper
  • Splitter, to make 2 espresso's
  • Instructions

    What a steal! Thanks OP.

    • truetypezk on 30/10/2020 - 21:05

      There is no way alternative brewing is going to honour this. They dont do clearance sales this way.

        It's actually funny because that's the deal that alternative brewing got done for sock puppeting. From a L poster.

        Heavily reduced clearance item..

        So how do they normally do clearance?

    I like the fact people using this won't be thowing pods in the bin (should be recycling them 🤓). I'm not a coffee drinker but don't see anyone initally paying $269 for this. I think the RRP is high. For $54.80 I hope people choose to buy it and use it.

    • Brendan m on 30/10/2020 - 23:27

      The original (Presso) is totally worth that and I think when I bought mine the price was higher still. I believe Rok acquired the design a few years ago, not sure if the quality has changed.

  • AustriaBargain on 30/10/2020 - 20:54

    I think for camping I'd rather bring an actual mini espresso maker and just buy a big battery to run it. That'd be roughing it. I kinda want some portable batteries capable of powering ordinary electronics anyway.

        And instead of a tent, go equal share with your fellow campers for a penthouse room at an affordable inner city hotel. You’ll have access to shower, spa, it’ll be climate controlled, and you’ll be walking distance from the city nightlife.

        • xoom on 31/10/2020 - 10:52

          Wow. Really roughing it there.

    • bargainshooter on 30/10/2020 - 22:30

      So the most popular camping espresso maker is the nanopresso. It's brilliant for on the road coffee. They mastered the pressure mechanism. Makes a great crema. This is just too big IMHO but YMMV.

  • [Deactivated] on 30/10/2020 - 21:00

    Sometimes I wonder if people only bought this because they saw such a high recommended retail price, and such a huge discount.

    If the recommended retail price was $99, would people have bought it? Lol

    • mudkipz on 30/10/2020 - 21:08
      +3

      Yeah.

      The Rok is comparable to other manual espresso devices. The Flair is another one. They generally fetch around this price range ($300ish).

      Getting a manual espresso brew with a consistent 9 bar is not quite easy. If a company comes out with something that can do it well for $99, I'd definitely be interested.

      Although, I think I see your point. This falls into a fairly niche category.

      • bargainshooter on 30/10/2020 - 22:36

        Um, the nanopresso does 18bar, is considerably smaller and produces great coffee with huge crema. Can also take nespresso pods with an adapter. The handpresso does 15bar, also quite good but not so much crema. I've got a number of truly portable espresso makers but this just isn't one.

        • caprimulgus on 31/10/2020 - 00:25
          +3

          I have a Nanopresso, and it is great for a travel espresso brewer.

          But the Rok / Flair are in a completely different league. I have the Flair, and it is miles and miles better than the Nanopresso in every way except portability. (The Nanopresso is 100% portable, while I would classify the Flair as more of a trans-portable, and borderline portable - although you most certainly can go traveling/camping with the Flair!)

          With respect, I believe you are viewing this from the lens of travel/camp brewing only. Many people, like myself, use a manual machine as their home brewer as well - in which case the Rok and Flair are unquestionably superior to the Nanopresso. :)

          (I think you also missed mudkipz reference to "consistent 9 bar", emphasis on consistent. Although I personally disagree that 9 bars is necessary - another topic altogether - pressure consistency / control, and pressure profiling, is one area where a lever is superior)

          But yes, for travel/camping, I agree Nanopresso is a great option! :)

          HashtagLeverGang! :)

        • fookos on 31/10/2020 - 00:52
          +4

          More bars doesn't equal better when making espresso - quite the opposite. You actually want lower far lower than 18!

          It's fine if a pump is capable of more power, but you want to hit that puck at a consistent 9-bars (or sometimes lower depending on your mojo).

    • TEER3X on 30/10/2020 - 21:20

      worse, most people won't even use this when they figure out how inconvenient it is… just like camping, you really have to be up for it.

      • mudkipz on 30/10/2020 - 21:35

        I see a few comments about using this camping. While you definitely could…but if it were me, I'd only be using this just at home. This would be too cumbersome to use while camping personally.

        Just my two cents.

      • MrKnowItAll on 30/10/2020 - 22:11
        +6

        I bought a flair last week because we are returning to work soon.. I had to do one day at the office to conduct interviews and felt personally attacked for the quality of coffee beans work provide us.
        Mid meeting I purchased the flair and have used it every day since.

        I don't care how many people call me a snob at work, end of the day it's a passion and I get to enjoy nice espresso while they drink their 300 year old beans

          For sure man!
          It's definitely a niche area, but if you like coffee, then I think it's worth the extra effort to enjoy.
