Lakeland Vintage Style Citrus Press

This seems to work well. We have tried many and most leak ! If you squeeze this too hard it does tend to spray you with juice, but use steady, gentle pressure and the juice pours out well. It seems to get most of the juice out and is easy to clean. I just run the 2 pieces under the tap. It is rather large, but does not have lots of tiresome pieces. The lip is beginning to stain with wax from the skins, but I am sure if I tried it would come off.

I was unsure whether to spend £30 on a juice press when there were no reviews on it but decided to go ahead. This juicer is well built and juices fruit which will be excellent come marmalade time. There is virtually nothing to go wrong and easy to take apart and clean. If you like the old fashion solid (no bells or whistles) equipment then this is the one for you. So pleased I purchased it.

Unfortunately this is a very poor juicer. When I juiced grapefruit it was too small to hold a full half, extracted a small amount of juice, and tainted the juice with the sour taste of the peel. A similar thing happened with oranges. They fitted the basket ok but little juice was extracted and the taste was spoilt with the taste of the peel. I did not try lemons or limes but would imagine a similar pattern.
