Review on 🍎 SQUEEZE Master Fruit Apple Cider Wine Classic Press - 1.6 Gallon/6L – Sturdy Wooden Basket – 6 Press Wooden Blocks – Pole Handle Bar for Juice, Wine, Cider – Ideal for Outdoors, Kitchen, and Home by Cris Walton

The unit costs very little compared to the big 100 year old press we once used. This unit was wonderful, easy to move and clean, and made an excellent cider. Some assembly was required (screws and rails on the round barrel that's part of it) but overall we mounted it on a few pieces of wood with handles and made it easier to move than anything else. The bottom plate is strong (heavy duty steel), the legs are also strong. We were able to squeeze 30 gallons of cider in a few hours of picking. We cheated and used an electric coffee grinder, which made the extraction process a lot easier. Grind the apples, throw in and squeeze all the charm out of the apples. We calculated that it takes about 2-2.5 milk crates full of apples to fill (if they are ground). When all was said and done it was about 3-4 gallons of cider. After carefully emptying the pressed apples, they poured them into pots, which then used cheesecloth to filter the larger chunks of apple into containers. In general, the product is about 3-4 feet in height. It was very easy to clean (hose and a light brush to remove only the parts stuck to the device). Highly recommended.
