Amazon.com Review
Whether you're whipping up a batch of fresh cocktails or exploring ethnic cuisine, citrus is an essential ingredient for every home kitchen. Much easier to operate than the traditional hand-held juicer, this compact citrus press is the ideal tool for squeezing lemons, limes, and oranges. Made from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel in a professional weight, it extracts more juice in less time thanks to extra-long handles. Small holes allow juice to flow while filtering out pulp and seeds. When you're done squeezing, the Nor Pro Citrus Press cleans up easily in the dishwasher. --Mary Park

Big and Strong Enough
I had bought one of the cast aluminum citrus press a week before and broke it after one day. As I use it mostly for limes and lemons I didn't want a stand type press because it took up too much kitchen counter real estate. So I did a search on the net and came across this one.

First it's stainless steel and built tough,very heavy duty. second it's got a 3" bowl, large enough for the large limes and lemons, but I'm afraid that it's too small for most oranges sold in supermarkets.

I feel that the design could be improved with another roll of holes in the bottom of the press, but other than that it's the best I've come across. Since I've received it, I've had a chance to look in several specialty cooking stores and haven't found one comparable.

**** Update, it's now 8/15/07. I use the press almost every day (my favorite drink is 2 packets of splenda, one fresh lime and a quart of carbonated water over ice). The press is in the same shape it when I bought it. No deformation of the handles (I'm a big guy 6'6" and 325 lbs and I've really squeezed the handles hard), after a pass through the dishwasher it shines like new.

a handy tip for squeezing
This isn't immediately obvious, and indeed somewhat counter-intuitive, so I thought I would share. To prevent the juice from squirting up into your eyes, and to achieve proper extraction, you need to place the lemon or lime half with the cut side pointed down into the press, not up facing you, which would seem to fit better. The squeezer will get every last drop out, and in the process invert the skin of the citrus inside out, leaving you with only the skin and no juice.

Works great
I bought one of the less expensive green aluminum juicers and it broke in the middle of the first lime. This is solidly built and I expect it to last for a very long time. Also, it's longer handle means it's easier to use.
