3 Best Rosin Presses to Buy in 2023

 A rosin press is an essential tool if you want to extract high-quality rosin from flower or concentrate. Rosin presses use heat and pressure to extract resinous trichomes from plant material, producing a potent and tasty concentrate without the need for solvents.

With so many different rosin presses on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your needs. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the best rosin presses for 2023 based on factors such as price, yield, ease of use, and overall quality.

Whether you’re a commercial business looking to produce large quantities of rosin, or a home grower looking for a small, portable press, there’s something for everyone on this list.

What is the best temperature for pressing rosin?

You might think that more heat would lead to higher yields. This is not true! Using too much heat burns off the terpenes and other compounds that make rosin so popular. You should stick to low calories.

Flowers: 220°F — 240°F for about 30–45 seconds
Dry Sifting: 180°F — 210°F 45–90 seconds

After printing, remove the rosin from the printing plate as soon as possible. This will minimize any degradation of active compounds and terpenes. Pure Pressure makes some really cool gold plates that you can put rosin on immediately after pressing to speed up cooling.

As we mentioned earlier, there is a relationship between temperature and pressure. If you want cold press (sub 200), you need more pressure and longer press time.

Experiment and see if this produces better rosin for you, as in many cases, it probably won’t.

ECO Farm DM Electric Hydraulic Rosin Press Machine

Features:

The ECO Farm rosin presses are a combination of electric and hydraulic power. It is easy to operate. This machine is made of high-strength materials and can withstand high pressure. The heating element of this machine is made of high-quality aluminum. These boards can withstand high temperatures and heat up quickly. The aluminum plate heats evenly, helping to press high-quality rosin concentrates. The temperature accuracy of this controller is also very high. It provides accuracy in the 1 oF range. The controller also allows you to quickly switch between the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Press time can also be set with this controller.

RosinBomb Rocket Small Electric Rosin Press

Features:

The Rosinbomb rosin press embodies power in a small package. Weighing just 13 pounds, this portable rosin press provides up to 1,500 pounds of pressure with dual hotplates and a maximum temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. At just 10 inches tall, the Rocket fits in a backpack so it can be pressed anywhere there is a power outlet. It does not require any accessories and has plug-and-play operability. Despite its size, the Rocket can hold up to five (5) grams in a single press. The Rocket’s 10" compact design fits easily into a backpack for travel.

Tips and tricks for best results with a rosin press

Getting the best results with a rosin press requires more than pressing a button. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your rosin press:

Starting material: The quality of the starting material is critical. Use high-grade plants or dry sift/bubble hash for best results.

Temperature: Temperature is a key factor affecting the quality and yield of rosin. Lower temperatures (180°F-220°F) will produce better flavor but less yield, while higher temperatures (220°F-250°F) will produce more yield but less flavor. Experiment with different temperatures to find what works best for your material.

Pressure: Applying too much pressure will result in lower quality and yield, while too little pressure will result in lower yield. Find the right pressure for your material by experimenting and adjusting accordingly.

Time: The length of time the material is pressed will also affect the quality and yield of the rosin. In general, longer pressing times (60–120 seconds) will give you higher yields, while shorter pressing times (30–45 seconds) will yield better flavor.

Micron Bags: Using the correct micron bag is important for best results. For flowers use 90 micron bags and for hash or keef use 37 micron bags.

Conclusion

Now that you know all of the best rosin presses for each type of extractor, you can pick your favorite and start making your own top-quality rosin!
