Everything I thought it would be. Still playing with the grind setting. I love all the things you get with the 'Plus'bundle. No electronics to go bad. A win-win
Great tool. Amazing value. Excellent coffee and safer near children. This is a terrific product. Delivery was quick. Only have good things to write.
We received it yesterday and the in-house coffee addict (aka husband) has remarked “The new ROK is far superior to the old ones” - coming from a long time fan using ROK since 2016.
Well done team on the improvements and thank you for the great service too.

I originally purchased the ROK alongside a move we were making to live off grid (November 2021)... I wanted a device where I could simply boil a kettle and pull a decent espresso using only muscle power...
I love bicycles and devices that rely on simple mechanical advantage for operation... so I was immediately drawn to the elegant and well resolved design
There was one hitch early on... I blew through (cracked under high pressure) an early iteration of the aluminium retention ring / seal that sits above the porta filter... ROK were quick to resolve the issue however and sent me the upgraded part (I felt reassured that they were committed to product development / improvement alongside good customer service)... it was a straightforward replacement...
It has performed dutifully ever since!
4 years later we're back in the mainstream... I thought I would 'upgrade' to a delonghi dedica... nice espresso but completely unreliable... passed it on...
So the ROK came out of retirement... and I was reminded what a simple joy it is to use... zero maintenance... utterly reliable and consistent
I'm sure the espresso probably doesn't rival an expensive gaggia but I'm no coffee snob... I like a decent long coffee... thats it...
A few hacks (in my humble opinion) to make the most of the ROK... use correct espresso ground coffee (my favourite is Lavazza Oro but all the Lavazza grinds work fine and there are other similar supermarket alternatives)... coarser grinds don't work and too fine and it gets hard to exert enough pressure to generate flow... tamp the puck well... use boiling water (heat is quickly lost so it needs optimising... if I'm being finicky I sometimes preheat it by pulling a blank shot of boiling water into a cup)... on that note I always pre heat my milk... upon filling the reservoir I tend to allow pre-infusion until the first drip of coffee comes through and then pull to full pressure... about 3 pulls and the puck comes out pretty dry...
honestly... after 5 years of reliable service I can't recommend this beautifully engineered little machine highly enough...
in this age of low attention spans and fake news well done for reading to the end and allow me to reassure you that I am indeed a real human :)
Hi Alex, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Reviews like yours really help the ROK community.
I got my GC a few weeks ago and I am still learning, but wow! This is such an easy machine to use, it doesn't take up much space on my worktop. It makes a great shot of espresso, I am addicted.
It is the whole process that makes my morning perfect....
Choose my beans
Grind them by hand using my Porlex manual grinder
Make the shot
Decide on espresso or americano
Sit and enjoy
A perfect start to the day...
Hi Tim, thanks for posting your review and photo. It sounds a great way to start the day.
Great product.
Very happy
Awesome manual Espresso maker. The quality of all the parts is super high end. I have pulled some awesome shots with it so far. Definitely takes some learning to be consistent; but the control you have is extremely good. Couple notes: the tamper it comes with is not the greatest and a medium sized scale does not fit under the outlet. Not huge issues but something to consider. Rok offers a really nice metal tamper. I would highly recommend this one!
Love it simple to use and amazing coffee
I watched a lot of reviews before buying this coffee press. Most of them said it would make espresso as well as other types of coffee. The problem I’ve found is, if I want to use it to make an Americano for example, it isn’t strong enough or the portafilter isn’t big enough to get enough coffee to taste the coffee.And even if it was, it doesn’t hold enough water for any other type of coffee. it makes great espresso but I wanted it for more than that. I have definitely bought the wrong thing.
A terrible shopping experience; I still haven't received my package. It's been a month since I made the purchase, and due to missing documentation that was omitted at the time of shipment, my order is stuck in a warehouse awaiting a solution from ROK. I've already sent numerous emails seeking a resolution, and they just keep giving me the runaround.
Hi Miguel, we're sorry to learn that your order has been delayed. I just checked the tracking and see it's held in Warsaw (In UPS Warehouse Warsaw, Poland 04/03/2026, 4:11 A.M.). We will follow this up directly and get back to you on email. Thanks for your patience.
The order hasn't been delivered yet after 2 weekd
Hi Marica, we are sorry to learn this and will look into it immediately. Expect a direct email with a delivery update.
Great design works better than an electric one
Delivery was incredibly fast and smooth. Though am still in the learning / experimenting phase to improve my results ;) - I simply love my ROK!
Had my ROk for a couple of weeks, how did I manage with out it.
So easy to use, gives fantastic shots that you can Taylor to your taste.
It’s a sturdy device that is easy to clean and looks good.
I've been making my own espresso for about 40 yrs. Ive tried many brands and styles of Espresso makers. Until the ROK came out all were electric. The last several of those were in the price range (or higher) of the ROK. I bought my 1st ROK not long after they were avaliable. I was very pleased with it and enjoyed espresso at least as good as from the automatic machines i have owned. The 1st version of the ROK did have some issues, though over all it still allowed me to make good espresso. Then came the ROK GC! All the important flaws were addressed by the upgrades and now the quality of my espresso is great every day.
I have tried the other manual machine, Flair and it wasn't much competition with the ROK. I have not tried the latest of that brand which is twice the cost of a ROK GC. I think that one is a much better design the the 1st flairs, but the single lever is not as ergonomic and easy as the ROK double levers.
Hi David, thanks for taking the time for your considered review. We really appreciate the feedback and your continued support.
I have purchased before and the current model is excellent.
Easy, reliable, lightweight, good looking and makes excellent coffee provided you have a great coffee grinder and of course a good coffee.
Best coffee machine I've owned by far
Loved it! More pressure than the original (which by the way I'd had for 20 years which shows how long this lasts).
😆 My second ROK GS, this one is going to make great espresso for me in years to come 🥰 After some years struggling with making espresso (different coffees, fresh and not so fresh. Adjusting and frustrated) I was introduced to spart short baskets!!!!!! That changed everything for me 🥳
The products & service are always GREAT!!!!
I don't especially like tea and I didn't use to drink it. As a result of having this at home, most other coffee feels dull or just wrong, and I started drinking tea when not at home. I have toyed with the idea of carrying it with me to work, as it's really light, but I fear that people will talk, or steal it.
I've only had it for three months and when I bought it I didn't even know what a naked portafilter was. Now I feel I need one. So here's my single complaint: I think it should be coming with a naked portafilter.
I never thought I'd be able to make such good coffee at home without having to spend crazy money, and I feel ridiculous typing this for a piece of metal and plastic, but it's good value for money.
(If you ever make one without any plastic, I will buy it.)
The fact that it doesn't need electricity is a significant advantage and makes it especially versatile. It doesn't look it, but it is very light and easy to carry.
Service was excellent; it arrived within two days, in what felt like very high quality packaging.
I recently got my Espresso GC out during a power outage. I had been using an electric machine and had limited the use of the Espresso GC for camping trips but since getting it out i realised just how much better the quality is with the extra control of the Espresso GC. It does take some trial and error initially to get the grind, pack and pressure right but once you land on what you prefer it's easy to get a quality outcome consistently.
It makes a good coffee!
