Setting up
It arrives in a few pieces with hex keys in the box. Bolt the lever arm to the top of the column, screw the grip into the end of it, then stand the base on a flat bench and press the four suction feet down until they hold. Wash the strainer, cap and funnel before the first orange.
Presses an orange dry in one pull.
A long cast iron lever does the work your wrists would otherwise do, and it never needs a power point.
Half the fruit goes cut side down on the stainless cone, the cap comes over the top and the lever brings real force straight down through it. What comes out is juice with the oils from the skin left behind, into a glass that sits under the spout rather than into a plastic jug you then have to pour. The linkage carries the effort, so the pull is long and smooth instead of a fight.
Six kilos of cast iron and four rubber suction cups under a widened three-arm base keep it where you put it. The strainer, the pressing cap and the funnel are 304 stainless and come apart in seconds, which is the difference between rinsing them straight away and finding dried pulp the next morning.

Goes with.
What this usually leaves the warehouse with.
Three parts come out to wash.
The funnel, the strainer bowl and the pressing cap are all 304 stainless and all lift away without a tool, which means the whole of the juice path goes to the sink and comes back clean. Nothing about it needs a brush kept specially for the job. Rinse the three pieces while they are still wet and it takes a minute.
- Strainer, cap and funnel in 304 stainless
- Lift out with no tools
- Cast iron frame stays on the bench
It stays put while you pull.
A press this size only works if the base does not walk across the bench. The three-arm base is widened, it carries most of the six kilos, and four rubber suction cups grip a smooth bench or a laminate top. One hand on the fruit and one on the lever is all it takes; you do not need a third to hold the machine down.
- 6.1 kg of cast iron
- Four rubber suction cups
- Widened three-arm base
Oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pomegranates.
The bowl takes fruit up to 80 mm across, which covers most navel oranges and small grapefruit, and the same cone handles lemons and limes for a squeeze into a pan. Pomegranates go in too. Because the pressure is even, the pith is not driven through into the glass the way it is when you twist by hand.
- Fruit up to 80 mm across
- Glasses up to 120 mm under the spout
- Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, pomegranates
The measurements that matter.
All three are the maker's figures. The height is the one to check before you buy, because a press this tall lives on the bench rather than in a cupboard.

Questions we get asked
What fruit will it take?
The bowl holds fruit up to 80 mm across, so most navel oranges, small grapefruit, lemons and limes. The maker also lists pomegranates. Halve the fruit and put it cut side down on the cone; a whole orange will not press properly however hard you pull the lever.
Does it need power?
No. It is entirely mechanical, which is why it can live on the bench away from a power point, or go out to a market stall or a back verandah. The only moving parts are the lever, the linkage and the two guide rods that the pressing cap slides down.
Will it move around on the bench?
It should not. There is 6.1 kg in the cast iron alone, and the widened base sits on four rubber suction cups. Press them down onto a clean, smooth, dry surface and they hold. On a rough timber or tiled bench the cups have less to grip, so put a board underneath.
How do I clean it?
The strainer, pressing cap and funnel lift out and rinse in warm soapy water. Do them straight after juicing, before pulp dries on. Wipe the painted cast iron with a damp cloth and dry it, and do not leave citrus juice sitting on the paint overnight.
What size glass fits underneath?
Anything up to 120 mm tall clears the spout, which covers a standard tumbler and most short glasses. If yours is taller, press into a small jug or a measuring cup instead and pour from there.
