Fruit press

A Fruit press (pronunciation: /fruːt prɛs/) is a device used to extract juice from fruits such as apples or pears.

Etymology

The term "fruit press" is derived from the Middle English words "frut" and "pressen", which mean "fruit" and "to press" respectively.

Description

A fruit press consists of a container to hold the fruit, a pressing mechanism to extract the juice, and a collection system for the juice. The pressing mechanism can be manual or powered. The fruit is first prepared by crushing or grinding, then it is placed in the container. The pressing mechanism is then used to squeeze the juice out of the fruit. The juice is collected in a separate container or directly into bottles or jars.
