 Best juice press May 26, 2008
B. Dunne
I hesitated spending this much money on a juice press given the cheaper alternatives out there. After using now for a month or so I am so glad I spent the extra money. This is made of solid stainless steel, not the aluminum pot metal commonly used in less expensive versions. It feels very solid and well-built and I'm sure will last a lifetime. Squeezes every last drop of juice out of lemons and limes.
 NOT FOR ORANGE JUICE May 21, 2008

This squeezer is poorly designed and too small to juice oranges. It needs to be larger around and shallower. I have a somewhat similar lemon juicer which gets an incredible amount of juice out of a lemon so I had high hopes for this. It's expensive, especially since it doesn't do the job. I can't quite figure out all the 5 star reviews. The do show it with a lemon and a lime so perhaps it is not meant for juicing oranges.

I love making mojitos... And as fun as it is to muddle mint and lime together, it's much more ecnomical to juice the lime first, and throw the juiced rind into the mix...
This juicer get's every little bit out of each lime I squeeze. I bought the stainless steel for it's durablity and in the first 3 weeks have not been disappointed.
 A Fair Tool, But... April 29, 2008

I have used this tool many times for squeezing lemons and limes (it's too small for oranges) and it seems to be fairly sturdy with a stainless-steel finish that holds up to the dishwasher. However, it doesn't seem to close on itself as much as it should, leaving too much room (and juice) between the two halves. I found that by leaving an already-squeezed fruit in place when I insert the next one, it makes up the gap and yields more juice. Also, by cutting a shallow X across the fruit's cut end, extending through the peel, it helps the fruit to crush in the right direction. Beware of squirting juice!

Yes you do! Squeezing lemons is indeed a joy in life and this juicer brings the maximum joy! What I mean is, yes it hits the sweet spot amongst citrus juicers. It's not too mechanical and removed, not too difficult and messy to use, but just right and with the tactile feedback that gives you the satisfactory feeling of accomplishment. Holds in the hand with a solid feeling of quality and heft.
Helpful Hint: Squeeze both sides. Start with cut side up to break into the fruit and split the skin, but squeeze slowly at first to avoid an eyeful! Flip it over and get all the juice out. Squeeze it baby!
In A Perfect World: Wish it had a hole for hanging and a bit longer handle.
Parting Shot: Makes me smile! I always smile while squeezing lemons, don't you?
