Keep meaning to post this link when these cider press discussions come  
through. I've never tried Lehman's presses, but have had other things  
from them, and the company is reliable. The single tub press at $589  
sounds like not much more than some people have probably spent buying  
garbage disposals and building presses around them. Wheel kits are  
available for this and for their double tub press.

For those who enjoy building their own, of course, that's another  
matter. And if some of the materials are around already and don't need  
to be bought new, it's probably a good deal cheaper.
