The Rok Manual Espresso Maker is a great choice for those looking for a portable espresso machine. It is made of almost entirely cast metal parts, making it extremely sturdy and reliable. It is also lightweight and narrow, making it easy to store in a suitcase or backpack. The Flair is also made of cast metal parts and comes with a carrying case for packing it away.
The biggest difference between the Rok and the Flair is in regards to heat retention. The Rok has a plastic part which is not the best material for keeping heat in. Additionally, the piston mechanism inside the Rok can cause the water to aerate and lose temperature as it trickles down into the brew head. The Flair, however, has a rubber base which helps to seal in the hot water and keep the temperature consistent.
Both machines are under $200 and come with a tamper produced by the manufacturer. The Rok tamper is $70 and the Flair tamper is $30. The Rok is a great choice for those looking for a reliable and portable espresso machine.
