- Grapes, berries and other soft fruits can normally be crushed directly.
- Process only healthy, ripe fruit for the best flavour and juice quality.
- Discard fruit that is mouldy, rotten or badly damaged.
- Wash fruit thoroughly before crushing to prevent dirt entering the mash.
- For maximum juice extraction, use the prepared fruit mash with a manual fruit press or hydropress.
Cleaning & Storage
- Rinse thoroughly with clean potable water immediately after use.
- Dry all components completely before storing to help prevent rust.
- Do not use acid-based sanitisers on the crusher.
