Which Apple Press Should I Choose?

• 4.5 litre worktop fruit press: a compact option for smaller batches and occasional home pressing.
• 12 litre cider press: a larger basket for processing more fruit during the apple harvest. Compare spindle, hobby and cross-beam designs to suit your setup.
• Fruit crusher or Pulpmaster: useful for breaking down firm apples into pulp before pressing for easier juice extraction.

Press capacities describe basket volume, not the amount of juice you will collect. Juice yield depends on the fruit and how it is prepared. Check each product listing for specifications and current availability.

Do You Need a Fruit Crusher for Cider Making?

For whole apples and other firm fruit, crushing before pressing is usually essential. A suitable apple crusher or Pulpmaster prepares the fruit so the cider press can extract juice more effectively. Sort and wash your fruit first, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for your chosen equipment.

Press Bags and Accessories

A correctly sized press bag helps contain fruit pulp while juice drains. Choose a fine or coarse mesh bag that suits your fruit and press, and clean all food-contact equipment carefully before and after use.
