The Selections 12 Litre Traditional Fruit and Apple Cider Press is an ideal tool for home orchardists and hobbyists looking to process apple harvests into fresh cider or fruit juices. It offers a high-capacity, spindle-free design that simplifies the extraction process and ensures maximum yield; however, because of its manual nature, it requires physical effort and a preparatory crushing step for the fruit to ensure effective pressing.

Yes, apples must be crushed or pulped into small pieces for the press to extract juice effectively.
Yes, this press is suitable for most soft fruits, such as pears, grapes, or berries.
Yes, the hardwood is selected for use in traditional food processing equipment.
It removes the central obstruction, making it significantly easier to fill the basket and clear out the leftover pulp after pressing.
Periodically applying food-grade mineral oil helps maintain the wood and prevents it from warping or cracking over time.
Ensure fruit is finely crushed or pulped before loading. Whole fruits will not press efficiently.
Use the mounting holes on the feet to anchor the unit firmly to a stable work surface or floor.
Apply pressure slowly and ensure the basket is not overfilled beyond its 12-litre capacity, which can jam the mechanism.
To set up, choose a level surface where the press can be secured. If you are pressing outdoors, consider bolting the feet to a heavy wooden board or a concrete pad. Before use, ensure all components—particularly the steel base and the hardwood slats—are thoroughly cleaned and food-safe.
After each use, rinse the basket and base plate immediately to prevent fruit sugars from hardening or attracting insects. Wipe the hardwood components with a food-grade mineral oil periodically to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over seasons. Store the press in a dry, cool place to prevent the steel components from corroding.
