        I would like to purchase a press. Any recommendations appreciated.

          I’ve often made my own but you can buy them.

          I talk about them here at about 33 minutes into the video.

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            The method that Doc uses with the hanky is what I do, but my hands got tired, so I’m going to squeeze as much as I can, then put the hanky full of marc into a potato ricer to squeeze out those last little dribbles.  Hope this helps – way less expensive and certainly more space friendly since the press is a big bulky item!

              Thank you both. I have a large potato ricer. Would be good to give it additional purpose.

              Also looked on Etsy. There are some under $100 that look solid. Storage space is getting to be an issue, but know have found a plan B when it becomes a necessity. Thank you

                I purchased a Pure juicer for juicing and pressing herbs. It is an investment but we’ll worth it for me. It is an amazing machine with many uses.
