Meet the ROK GC Explorer’s Edition – a beautifully engineered manual espresso maker that needs no pods and no plug sockets. Just add hot water from your kettle, raise the arms and press down for rich, barista-style espresso. This Explorer’s Edition includes two portafilters, the new SmartShot basket, a milk frother and a dosing funnel, so you can focus on enjoying crema-topped coffee rather than faffing about with grind size or tamping technique.
