FAQs

What size fruit batches can this 12L press handle?

The 12-litre capacity is suitable for medium-sized batches of fruit. It's recommended to chop fruit and fill the basket efficiently for best results, using the extra wooden blocks for smaller quantities.

Do I need electricity to operate this press?

No, this is a manual press. Its operation relies on a simple twist-and-extend screw mechanism, meaning it can be used anywhere without a power source.

How do I prepare the fruit for pressing?

For maximum juice yield and easier pressing, it is highly recommended to chop your fruit into small pieces before placing them into the press basket.

What are the bonus accessories for?

The three pulp bags are used to line the pressing basket, acting as a filter for smoother juice. The two additional wooden blocks allow you to increase the pressure applied, especially useful for smaller amounts of fruit or harder varieties.

Is assembly difficult?

Some self-assembly is required. Clear instructions are provided, and using a powered screwdriver is recommended for a faster and smoother setup process.

What kind of fruits can be pressed?

The press is designed for a variety of fruits, including hard fruits like apples and pears, as well as softer fruits such as grapes and berries.

How do I clean the wooden parts?

Clean wooden components with warm, soapy water and dry them thoroughly. Avoid soaking the wood. Occasional application of food-safe mineral oil can help maintain the oak basket.

Troubleshooting

Pressing is difficult or yields little juice

Ensure fruit is chopped into small pieces. Use the provided wooden blocks to increase the pressing surface area and apply more pressure. Check that the pressing bar is fully extended before inserting additional blocks.

The press seems unstable during operation

Verify that all assembly screws are tightened securely. Ensure the press is placed on a flat, stable surface. Do not force the handle beyond its natural resistance.

Juice is cloudy or contains pulp

Make sure the pulp bags are properly positioned within the pressing basket to act as a filter. Ensure fruit is adequately chopped, but not to a puree, which can clog the bag.

Wooden components appear dry or discolored

Clean all wooden parts thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely. Apply a food-safe mineral oil periodically to the oak basket to maintain its condition and prevent drying out.
