Overview
Built for making cider or wine in larger batches, this fruit crusher is designed to handle apples, pears, and other hard fruits before pressing. It can crush whole apples without cutting them first, and the crank handle gives you a straightforward manual setup for prep work in the orchard, kitchen, or cellar. The unit can be used mounted or free standing, offering flexibility depending on your workspace. An innovative slider helps clear residual fruit from the crusher after use, and cleanup calls for warm soapy water followed by immediate drying.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for crushing large quantities of hard fruit before pressing, so it is more specialized for cider and wine prep than general-purpose kitchen use.
- Operation is manual with a crank handle, which means output depends on user effort rather than powered processing.
- It can be mounted or used free standing, but that flexibility also means setup and stability will depend on how it is positioned.
- Requires simple hand cleaning and immediate drying after use, so it is not a leave-it-wet tool.
