So... I went for the Rosineer Presso just to try this out. Ok for the record a 2 x 3 inch space sucks to work in. Pressure good, and temps were fine, within a degree. But then I noticed shit was missing. Like 2 magnets. And then I looked harder at the silicone mat, the fact that two magnets were missing and no parchment paper was included like it said it would be. And then the scratches on the plates suddenly made sense. It wasn't a mfg defect. It was a clean up and return. Those guys sent me a used machine. The Amazon did. Fucking hell.
So I contacted Rosineer. They assured me they were going to file a complaint with Amazon about their screw up and I should get it ready for UPS to pick it up. Ok that fucking sucks. Now I have to REALLY clean the shit out of this thing and make it all sparkly and wonderful again without a trace of anything on it. Lovely.
They offered to upgrade me to their "manual press" that looks like the 1970's amusement park rides where you had to work really hard to turn the shit around yourself. Remember that? Who was the wise ass that came up with THAT shit? Probably the great grandfather of the person who came up with a manual press. That's great. So those rubber feet are going to have super human sucking power and will withstand 3000lbs while anchoring it's mighty ass to the counter... on rubber feet... against all that pressure... won't move. Yeah ok call bullshit cause I don't believe it. No freaking way. But someone here probably has one, squeezes butter out of it, and is about to prove me really wrong, watch.
So... my first choice was actually a Dabpress. So I went for it. 4 tons is way more than enough. Plates are a lot bigger. Size really does matter. The truth is out. Once again the old rule... you get what you pay for is dead on balls accurate. It's not like the Dabpress is a ton of money either compared to Nugsmasher and other presses out there. But the reviews on YouTube look good. Guys here that I respect are using it and love it. So hopefully I'll fall in love too.
All I know is that my wife hasn't asked me to roll a joint all day lol.
Uh oh.
