Just a few years ago a DIY rosin press was about the only option because of cost and lack of competition in the market. After legalization in many states, the demand for the best rosin press grew, lowering prices and upping quality not only for commercial rosin presses but for everything from hybrid rosin presses to portable rosin presses. But now, with so many choices picking the proper rosin press for your needs can be overwhelming.
Rosin extraction is safe and easy for both home and commercial growers because it doesn’t require any solvents with which to extract cannabinoids, nor does it require extensive safety measures as some other extraction methods do. But for rosin extraction to be most efficient – and produce the highest yield – professionally designed rosin presses are ideal. Today, rosin press machines can be found in almost any shape, size, form, and capacity. The best rosin press will depend on your needs, so consider these questions when purchasing a rosin press:
Is it for personal or commercial use?
How many hours a day/week do you intend on using the rosin press?
How much material will you need to press each time?
How important is space or portability to you?
How does the environment around you look like? Are you in an environment that can tolerate noise for several hours during the day? (This question is specifically for pneumatic presses)
Here are some of our favorite rosin presses.
