PetriStor Dutch Wooden Cheese Press - Cheese Making Kit (Wooden Cheese Press with Lever and 2 Cheese Molds 1.2L)-Cheese Press for Home Cheese Making pressure up to 200 lbs

It could come with better instructions, but I managed to put it together from looking at the picture of it on Amazon. Don’t forget all the parts that need to go through the upright stanchions before assembling it all. I also got a bit more info from AI on the weights. It looks like it’ll do a good job of pressing the cheese curds. I will write a more detailed review once I use it.

Assembly instructions lacking

Good press to make 1.5 kg of cheese

Work perfect

Easy to put together when you follow the pictures. The written instructions were slightly confusing to someone who has no idea what they are doing. Smells of linseed oil and the box it came in was soaked in it. I had to play hunt the screw as they were loose and the smallest one was missing. Very bulky so not sure where I am going to put it. I have dammaged my hand so cannot use one that has to be screwed down so a dutch press seemed the answer. They had provided a small cheep tupperwear container that barely fit to collect the whey? I for one do not want my cheese sitting in whey when draining. I cannot get the smallest flat tray I have in the gap to do a better job as 1 not wide enough and 2 the platform has raised sides so you cannot put a tray in their flat if you wanted too. Looks like I will be cutting a piece of wood to bring it up level and figure out a draining tray to fit. Beautifully numbered on the arm but being new to this press I have No idea how to calibrate the weight using it as no instructions were included on how to callibrate the weight. I suspect you tube will come to the rescue. Over all a good price for what it is. Will be asking my very clever neighbor to make an upgrade for me .
