An Espresso Machine Upgrade: ROK Coffee


Press Smartshot

Some of the best moments happen over coffee, especially espresso. For the espresso aficionados, if you want to make café-quality home espresso the award-winning Press Smartshot by ROK Coffee has you covered with no electricity needed. Requiring very little skill and effort, this revolutionary contraption is a step up from your standard pod machine. As soon as you take your first sip you will notice your coffee is more textured and richer in flavor.

How It Works: The ROK Coffee manual lever forces hot water (that you’ll add) through coffee grounds, brewing espresso, and you can brew one or two shots at once with a detachable spout. It can be used with or without a pressurized basket, depending on whether you want more control over your grind. Acclaimed for its elegant and stylish design, the Press Smartshot is quite compact. It’s ideal for any home because it doesn’t take up too much space. Some of those high-tech machines can take up half your kitchen! You can watch a video of how it works here.

What I love about this espresso machine is that it’s super simple. You don’t need to have extensive barista skills to make a decent and delicious cup of espresso. Just spoon in the coffee of your choice and squeeze down the lever arms. You can even get creative and mix up your coffee using tonic or cola rather than hot water for an extra kick and unique taste. Planet-friendly, Press Smartshot is available in Soft Teal, Warm Grey, and Black. Make your daily dose extra special and go to https://us.rok.coffee/
