Product Information
Full details
The KuKoo Fruit Crusher and 6 Litre Fruit Press bundle is an ideal solution for home hobbyists looking to produce small batches of fresh cider, wine, or juice from garden-grown fruits. This set streamlines the extraction process by combining a manual crusher for breaking down produce and a spindle-operated press for maximum yield, though users should note that the manual operation requires a bit of physical effort for larger quantities.

FAQs
Does this equipment require electricity?
No, both the crusher and the press are entirely manual, making them highly portable and energy-independent.
What is the total capacity of this bundle?
The crusher has a 7-litre capacity, and the fruit press has a 6-litre capacity, making it perfect for small, manageable home batches.
Can I use this for grapes?
Yes, the crusher is effective for softer fruits like berries and grapes, though very large fruits should be halved or quartered first.
How do I keep the juice clean?
Use the included nylon straining bags during the pressing process to catch pips and skins, resulting in a much clearer juice.
Is the unit dishwasher safe?
No, the components should be cleaned by hand using warm water and mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the spindle and hopper materials.
Troubleshooting
Juice extraction is minimal.
Ensure the fruit is sufficiently crushed in the 7-litre hopper before transferring it to the press. Large, whole pieces do not press effectively.
Spindle feels difficult to turn.
Check that the fruit is evenly distributed in the press basket and do not overfill. Apply pressure slowly rather than forcing the handle.
Nylon bags are clogging.
Rinse the bags mid-process if they become blocked with heavy pulp, or ensure you are not using over-ripened, mushy fruit that lacks structure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Efficient manual processing without electricity
- Durable construction suitable for home cider and wine making
- Included nylon straining bags prevent sediment
- Compact enough for home storage
Cons
- Manual hand-crank operation can be physically demanding
- Limited to smaller batch processing compared to commercial gear
- Requires manual cleaning and drying after each use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward and requires only basic household tools. The press should be placed on a sturdy work surface or table that can support the downward weight of the spindle operation. Compatibility is broad, as the crusher is designed to handle soft to semi-hard fruits like berries, pears, and apples. After use, it is critical to rinse all components thoroughly with warm, food-safe water. Ensure the nylon straining bags are washed immediately to prevent fruit sugars from fermenting or hardening in the fabric. Wipe down the metal spindle and press components with a dry cloth to prevent oxidation and ensure the longevity of the equipment.
