I purchased the Weston fruit press an was not impressed with the design. The ratchet mechanism only advances 1/4 inch per ratchet. (Does not work like the ratchet in wrenches). The stacking blocks skews when the ratchet comes in contact with stacking blocks. Having a second round wood disk that sets atop the stacking block would eliminates the skewing. If your are doing a small batch you will need additional blocks to efficiency squeeze the juice out.
Tried to press muscadine grapes that were very ripe. Lots of cranking without much juice. Might work ok if fruit were completly crushed before hand.
I did not fully understand the limitations of a fruit press with a single screw rod in the center. The fruit must be put in 2-3 bags and placed around the rod rather than all the fruit being placed in one bag. I didn’t feel as if the fruit was completely pressed (all juice removed). I’ll keep a look out for a fruit press with two screw rods, one on each side of the press and outside of the area where the fruit bags are placed. If anyone wants to buy a once-used Weston Fruit and Wine Press please let me know. (509) 335-6294
We had tried to make a homemade press last year and found it lacking. So we decided to try a real press and bought the Weston Fruit and wine press. It came on time and was in good condition. It had all the parts needed to get started right away. The only thing we had to go looking for is the Food Grade Silicon spray which is needed to lubricate the moving parts. We found that at our local restaurant supply company. You will need to use this spray on the ratcheting head because it is coated iron and appears to rust easily if not treated. We filled it with grapes and got great juice. One thing we found though was that we could not get it pressed really dry because we had tossed in the whole fruit and stems. So we have ordered the matching Weston crusher for next year. I believe with that it will crush much better (drier). Unless you bolt the base down, it is a two person operation. The ratcheting action works well. Although they provide you with several pressing blocks, we did have to cut a couple of additional pressing blocks to get the press all the way down. I just cut an untreated 2×4 that I had laying around.
