In this video, we review the Rok SmartShot - a plastic made, manual lever driven espresso machine. It doesn't require any electricity, in fact it's only energy exerted is via the included springs that get cocked with the downwards lever motion. It comes with a pressurized basket, but can be pimped with a proper non pressurized basket from IMS. But the question remains, how is the espresso?
