The ROK EspressoGC is the latest version of the revolutionary ROK Espresso Maker. Updated with improved glass composite (GC) components, its redesigned piston assembly is better insulated, and produces more pressure; the result is hotter, more crema rich espresso that requires less force to extract. Lightweight, portable, and durable, the EspressoGC is ideal for traveling. The metal components of the machine are designed to last and backed by a 10-year warranty. To brew, simply fill the water reservoir, lift the arms, lock in your portafilter, and plunge.

Not for daily use–parts will break My husband and I have used this machine daily for five months. Between us, we average 2-4 shots per day. We have owned a Rancilio Sylvia and a Rocky grinder for 7 years, and due to a move gone wrong it ended up in England for 6 months.Once you master the technique, this machine can and does produce nice shots with proper extraction and good crema.
