Managed to make this press and it works well giving us amazing Apple juice from our own apples
I would rather have had a cross head but nevertheless it does the job
The press went together well, though when used, we found that many more layers of wooden blocks were needed as the fruit was pressed down. Quite heavy force was needed on the handle and this meant that the press itself had to be very securely screwed to a wooden base plate on a work bench/table.
Press worked as expected, but was starting to buckle under the pressure I applied. The base requires to be made stiffer/thicker.
Easy to assemble; very clear instructions,
At this price, it’s amazing!
Very reasonable price. I’ve dropped one star as juice sometimes ran back underneath from the spout
Works ok; the semi circular blocks were too small and the packing blocks provided are hopeless; they were all replaced. Pressfruit supplied a pair of plastic semi blocks that are ok.
I also bought a masher, also good but the handle attachment is very weak; it broke within a day so i had to bodge a repair; the grub screw sheared off.
My first home made cider was drank at Christmas… wonderful! Kit is easy to assemble and use. I’ll be making a lot more next year.
Well made, robust press. Easy to use and did an excellent job of juice extraction. It will clearly do the job for years yet.
