The Crystals 12L Fruit Press is an ideal tool for home orchardists and hobbyists looking to process large batches of fruit into fresh juice or cider. It offers the key benefit of high-efficiency extraction using a sturdy wooden basket and a mechanical 'twist and extend' system to maximize yield, though users should be prepared for the physical effort required during the pressing process and the initial time investment needed for home assembly.

No, some home assembly is required upon arrival.
Yes, but for softer fruits, you may need to use the straining bags carefully to prevent excessive pulp from passing through.
The blocks are used to extend the reach of the press as the fruit volume decreases, allowing you to maintain pressure until the last drop is extracted.
Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wood from cracking or drying out too quickly.
Yes, they are intended to be washed and reused, provided they are cleaned thoroughly after each session.
Ensure the straining bag is not clogged and the fruit has been sufficiently crushed prior to pressing.
Do not force the mechanism. Ensure the press plate is level and add wooden blocks to maintain effective pressure distribution.
Check that the base bolts are fully tightened and ensure the press is sitting on a flat, level surface.
The unit arrives partially disassembled. Follow the provided manual to secure the steel base to the frame and attach the handle assembly. Ensure all bolts are tightened before use. For maintenance, wash the wooden basket thoroughly with warm water and a non-abrasive brush after every use to prevent mold or juice buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the quality of your juice. Dry the steel components completely before storage to prevent rust and ensure the wooden components are stored in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent warping or rot.
