Best Temperature Range and Time

When determining the pressing time and temperature there are several variables to consider.
The most important thing to remember when pressing rosin is that you have control over many variables.
Adjusting the settings on your Press gives you total control in determining the final results of your extraction.
Below are some important factors one may wish to consider before pressing:
• The quality of your starting material will directly influence the potential of your final product.
• Higher temperatures generally result in a greater yield, with a subdued flavor profile.
• Lower temperatures generally help maintain desirable flavor profiles. with a relative decrease in
potential yields.
• Your starting material's moisture level can influence the consistency of the oil and potential yields.
Pressing times vary depending on, among other things, starting material and plate temperature.
For each starting material, we recommend experimenting and recording your notes for future reference. This will
allow you to consistently achieve what is most desirable for you, be it: heightened flavor, larger yield, or a careful
balance of both.
A good starting point for flower that you're unfamiliar with is 220ºF pressed for 60–90 seconds in the locked
position. We recommend letting the plates warm your material for 10-15 seconds, prior to locking, by allowing the
weight of the upper plate to rest atop your starting material and then slowly closing applying minimal force. This
will get the oils warmed and bring your material closer to its ideal extraction temperature range. Because the
material is now warmer the extraction process is more efficient and allows for more favorable results.
My Rosin Press' operating temperature ranges are 100ºF to 250ºF (37ºC to 121ºC).
The LCD display can toggle between Fahrenheit to Celsius with a click of a button.
Common rosin press temperature ranges for different materials:
• 160º-180ºF: Powder, and denser materials.
• 180º-220ºF: Flower
• 220º-250ºF: Dated, dried, or lower quality material.
The quality of your starting material will directly influence your results.
