A manual juice press makes it easy to extract juice from apples, berries, grapes and other fruits. The choice usually comes down to two things: capacity (how much you want to process per batch) and how often you plan to press juice during the season.

1) Choosing the right press capacity

• 10 L – for smaller batches and occasional use.
• 15 L – a versatile home option and a popular “sweet spot”.
• 20 L – if you press more often or want larger batches per cycle.
• 25 L – for bigger volumes and “stock” batches with fewer repeats.

2) What affects the result (good to know)

• Preparation: for better extraction, fruit/berries are usually crushed before pressing.
• Batching: it’s easier to do several even loads than to overload the press in one go.
• Frequency: if you press regularly, a larger capacity is usually more practical.

3) Quick choice in 20 seconds

• Occasional and small: 10-15 L.
• Regular seasonal use: 15-20 L.
• Frequent and large volumes: 20-25 L.

Quick tip: tell us what you press most often (apples/berries/grapes) and your typical batch size, and we’ll recommend the best capacity.
