Top-Ranked Apple Presses of 2023
In the world of home-brewed juices and ciders, fruit and apple presses have become a popular choice for those with homegrown harvests. This article provides a guide to some of the best fruit and apple presses available in 2023, catering to various styles and sizes.
One standout option is the Cuisinart CSJ-300 Easy Clean Slow Juicer. Known for its ease of assembly and ability to extract nearly all juice, leaving dry pulp, this vertical cold press (masticating) juicer is suitable for both novice and experienced users. Its dishwasher-safe parts make cleaning a breeze, and it produces sweet, bright apple juice with minimal foam.
The Cuisinart CSJ-300 has dimensions of 10.24" x 6.97" x 18.27", a juice capacity of 33.8 oz, and a power of 200W. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty. Some advantages include its ease of assembly and cleanliness, nearly dry pulp output, and dishwasher-safe removable parts. However, it does require cutting apples before juicing for easier feeding, and it produces a layer of foam atop the juice.
Other notable options for slow juicers (also called cold press juicers) that efficiently handle whole fruits like apples are referenced in recent 2025 juicer round-ups, though specific models beyond the Cuisinart CSJ-300 are less detailed in the search results.
For those seeking traditional fruit or apple presses, the Classic Manual Stainless Steel Fruit or Apple Crusher, popular for over 25 years due to its simplicity, is another option. The Oak Apple Press, made from oak and cast iron, and the Woodside Fruit Press, available in three sizes (6L, 12L, 18L) and purchasable on Amazon, are also worth considering.
The Spindle Press, with a capacity of 14L, and the Varomorus Fruit Press, available in sizes from 10L to 25L, are other options available for purchase. The Cast Iron Apple/Fruit Press, a crossbeam style press that swings to allow fruit to be crushed directly into the basket, is another option to consider.
For those interested in making cider, the Hobby Press Starter Cider Making Kit, containing all necessary equipment for making cider, is available for purchase, with prices starting from £93. An Aluminium/Stainless Steel Fruit Press with a capacity of 5.5L is also available.
