FAQs

How much fruit can this press hold?

The 6L model has a capacity suitable for processing approximately 6 litres of chopped fruit at a time.

Do I need to peel the fruit?

Peeling is not strictly necessary, especially for fruits like apples and pears, but washing is essential. Chopping the fruit into smaller pieces is more critical for efficient juice extraction.

Can I use this for vegetables?

While primarily designed for fruits, it may work for some softer vegetables, but results can vary. It is most effective with fruits that have a high juice content.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Is the oak used ethically sourced?

How often should I clean the press?

The press should be thoroughly cleaned with a damp cloth and dried after each use to maintain its condition and ensure hygiene.

Can I use this for making wine?

Yes, the cold-pressed juice produced by this press is ideal for home winemaking.

Troubleshooting

Press is not extracting much juice

Ensure the fruit is chopped into small pieces. Use the additional wooden blocks to increase pressing pressure. Check that the pulp bag is not overly compacted, restricting flow.

Difficulty turning the handle

Verify that the fruit is evenly distributed within the basket. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the pressing mechanism. Apply steady, consistent pressure rather than forcing the handle.

Wooden components showing signs of wear

Clean and dry thoroughly after each use. Consider applying a food-grade mineral oil to the wooden parts periodically to maintain their condition and prevent drying out.

Juice has seeds or pulp

Ensure the pulp bags are properly positioned and secured within the pressing basket. Double-check that the fruit was adequately chopped and any large seeds (like from large apples) were removed beforehand.
