Rosin has become one of the most popular concentrates. Its potency is off the charts. That’s why it’s easy to see why enthusiasts love rosin and its concentrate products, although the process of making is far from easy.
To achieve the optimum purity of rosin, you need high-quality rosin presses with the best reliability. These machines use heat, pressure, and filter bags with microscopic holes to extract rosin in high concentration from your cannabis hash without the use of any solvent. Rosin presses also have different types according to how pressure is applied. There are hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and manual-operated rosin presses.
Manual rosin presses are perfect for the home grower looking to turn some of their harvest into rosin. They are best suited for personal use, using a hand crank or a twist mechanism to generate pressure. They are typically slower, smaller, and less powerful than other types, so they’re better suited for producing small quantities of product for personal use.
The NugSmasher Mini is our experts’ favorite personal, manual rosin press and one of the best rated rosin presses anywhere. Small and discreet enough to keep on your kitchen counter and portable enough to move from room to room or take to a friend’s house, this personal rosin press is great for home use or for users just getting started with extraction. Made in America, this unit comes fully assembled with a lifetime warranty and features that you would expect to find on larger, more expensive commercial rosin presses. Just plug it in, warm it up, and get to pressing.
We especially love the NugSmasher Mini’s simple operation that makes a quick press easy and right at your fingertips. It may look small, but this press packs an incredible 2 tons of pressure across the 2.5” steel plates — allowing you to press up to 3.5 grams of material. It’s also one of the most affordable, quality presses on the market, making it our experts pick for the best affordable, manual, personal rosin press.
