Terrible

The shaft of the press rusted after one use. To be clear, I pressed maybe 400 mL of juice, rinsed thoroughly, and dried with a towel before allowing to air dry. Now there is rust throughout the shaft and there are rust shavings all over my fruit if I attempt to use it. Tldr: do not waste your money on this.

Just OK

Just OK. I got more juice with hand squeezing with a cheese cloth bag. Not sure why the top press piece isn't flat, or even better, a separate flat disc for the top of the press would be even better. For this small size you'll get just as much liquid out hand squeezing with a bag.

Clean it before 1st use

Once I had my blackberries thawed, the press worked well with and without a mesh bag. The issue I had was there was a considerable number of metal filings/dust coming from the central screw. Once juice was squeezing through the top plate, some of those filings were falling into the juice. Some way to bolt it to a tabletop/workbench would be nice too.

I use this to squeeze wild black raspberries. I put a milk bag in it and it works Great! Saves me hours of hand squeezing!

Great Press

Life is easy with this new press. What used to take me over an hour of small batch (hand press) pressing, now takes less than 20 minutes. The only down fall to this product is the screw mechanism. Perhaps because I haven't yet broken in this product fully but the screw on the press plate drips a litter bit of grease so care needs to be taken to avoid it getting into my product. A paper towel around the screw while pressing seems to help but I still am leary of a fully press until I know it is gone. Other than that ... LOVE IT! Easy clean up and no mess all over my counters. :-)

Q: We currently use a garlic press to extract pulp and juice from fresh sliced jalepenos. We are wondering if this press would work on jalepenos?

Asked by: Cindy - 6/9/2017

A: The product is intended for use with soft fruits and grapes for making home made wine. We have not tested for use with many other fruits and vegetables but so long as the product is in a soft puree it would function the same as with soft fruits.

Q: Can this presser squeeze juice from slices of eggplant? I discard the juice because it's bitter before I make eggplant Parmesan. With my arthritic hands I have painful time to squeeze the juice out of the eggplant slices. I am looking for a machine that will be a substitute to my hands. Is this machine what I am looking for?

Asked by: Lucia Costa - 5/8/2017

A: The press is designed for pressing fruit purees and soft fruits for juice extraction for wine production. While eggplant is typically softer pulp, the press is not directly designed for this application and would vary in the results
