bloody hell, it's been an expensive week for me. Ordered a Pike, will pick in up on Saturday. yay! Then my espresso machine died. Just hit "place order" on one of these. Never in all my years did I ever think I'd spend that kind of money on an espresso machine. But I love the stuff, and really can't do without. This one should allow me to enjoy good coffee, day after day, year after year. Hopefully my kids and grandkids too. again, I say

for 10% of what you spent you could've gotten a Presso, and had coffee that's just as good.

an aerobie is a frisbee.

are you thinking of an aeropress?

 

[jonKranked]

i just did a google. in the time since i bought mine the company changed names or something. it's now called ROK. exact same thing.

yeah, I was thinking of the aeropress... the ROK seems like a similar principle, just more metal and more control. Could be a worthy travelling companion...

it's only similar to the aeropress in that there's no motors or anything. the ROK/presso is more like a spring lever actuated espresso maker. it does take some practice to dial in how quickly to press the lever arms down. but it makes absolutely amazing espresso.
