Cider Press

A cider press is a device used to extract juice from apples or other fruits. The process involves crushing or grinding the fruit first, then applying pressure to squeeze out the liquid. Modern presses often use a crank or hydraulic system for efficiency. The resulting juice can be used for fresh cider or further fermentation into alcoholic cider. The press helps separate the juice from solids like pulp and seeds, making it essential in cider-making and fruit juice production. It’s a traditional yet practical tool for turning fruit into drinkable liquid.
