Essentially a rosin press machine is anything that uses heat and pressure to extract terpenes and cannabinoids. Typically, it has two rectangular hot plates, between which the starting material (flower, kief, trim, etc.) is heated and pressed. Between the plates and the cannabis there is also usually either waxless parchment paper or a filter bag.
What Temperature Should I Press My Rosin at?
When it comes to pressing your own rosin, choosing which temperature is best to extract with may be the most widely debated variable in the rosin community. The first step to selecting the right temperature to perform your rosin extraction will depend on your starting material. Dried flowers generally yield the best results when pressed between 180-220F. Lower temperature extractions frequently result in a more stable consistency, such as "budder" "crumble" or "batter," while pressing at the higher end of the temperature spectrum may result in "sap" "shatter" or "taffy."
How Long To Press Kief (Dry Sift) or Hash?
Start with a pressing time of 65 seconds at 180° F and adjust from there.
As mentioned, since you are decreasing the temperatures for hash and dry sift, you want to increase the pressing time.
The Rosin technique
When we press rosin, the idea is to get as much resin out of the starting material as quickly as we can, and at as low a temperature as possible. This is because heat naturally reduces quality, evaporating volatile terpenes and oxidising cannabinoids. We should be aiming to extract all of the rosin in the first press, rather than having to repress the material for a second time, with inevitably leads to a decrease in quality, producing darker coloured resin with a lower content in terpenes.
