Ken,
I have used several cider presses finding that all work no better than
the grinder one uses to crush the apples.
The best grinder/crusher I have used has been a garbage disposal unit. I
have used the grinder that came with my press, measured the amount of juice
extracted. Then ran the squeezed pulp through the garbage disposal unit,
pressed that and got almost as much juice as I got from just using the
grinder.
