London engineers ROK have created innovative, manually-operated home coffee makers with sustainability and longevity in mind. There is no electric pump or heating element to wear out, and no descaling to do. Well-known for its unique design, the GC Manual Espresso Maker is just as famous for making really, really good coffee, and ROK have honed the design over more than twenty years, offering home-fitted upgrade kits rather than asking you to replace the machine.
