The communication from Indrek in Masito was outstanding, and he was very attentive throughout the entire process. My order was shipped promptly and arrived in Ireland via FedEx. I was able to track its progress across Europe.\n\nThe machine itself is a fantastic piece of equipment. It's incredibly well-made and the assembly is straightforward. It handles a large volume of apples with impressive speed and efficiency, making the process of preparing fruit for pressing a breeze. I especially appreciate how easy it is to disassemble and clean after use.\n\nThis is a high-quality product from a company that provides top-notch customer service.

For my height of 176 cm, the feeding tube is a bit too high when pouring with a 20-litre bucket, and the discharge spout could be a bit higher - when using a regular mixing tub or bucket, you need to put something extra underneath your feet. The price-to-quality ratio is very good; now, after making about 500 litres of juice, I can confidently recommend it.","datePublished":"2025-10-20"},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Tiit Sillam"},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"reviewBody":"I have used the apple crusher for two seasons, and the juice press for the first time.

A powerful piece of equipment. The work that previously took more than half a day and still yielded a rather poor result (apple pieces too large) now only takes half an hour, resulting in a beautifully mushy pulp. Set up the machine and just pour.

Almost every garden has apple trees, and when autumn brings a rich harvest, the question always arises: _what to do with all these apples?_ One of the best answers is to make fresh, homemade apple juice. However, many beginners make the same mistakes when pressing apple juice at home. Some reduce the yield, others spoil the taste, and some even shorten the storage life of the juice. If you know what to avoid, making apple juice is simple and the result is always delicious. Here are the **most common mistakes when making apple juice** and easy tips to prevent them. --- ## 1\. Using overripe or spoiled apples One of the biggest mistakes is using moldy or rotten apples. Some believe it “won’t matter” after pressing, but in reality, it ruins the flavor and shortens the shelf life. ✅ **Solution:** always choose only healthy, washed apples. Slightly overripe fruit is fine, but never use spoiled ones. --- ## 2\. Not crushing apples before pressing Some beginners try to put whole or halved apples straight into the press. The result? Very little juice and a lot of wasted fruit. ✅ **Solution:** use a **Masito fruit crusher**, which quickly chops apples into fine pulp. The finer the pulp, the more juice you’ll get. --- ## 3\. Overloading the apple press If you overload the apple press with too much pulp at once, the machine can’t work efficiently. It slows the process and may even damage the equipment. ✅ **Solution:** feed the pulp into the **Masito apple press** gradually. This way, the machine works smoothly and lasts longer. --- ## 4\. Not processing juice immediately Fresh apple juice starts fermenting quickly if not processed right away. Leaving juice standing for hours can make it cloudy and shorten its storage life. ✅ **Solution:** if you want to keep apple juice for winter, **pasteurize** it or freeze it immediately. For fresh enjoyment, keep it in the fridge and drink within 2–3 days. --- ## 5\. Using only one type of apple If you use only sour apples, the juice will be too sharp. If you use only sweet ones, it may taste flat and cloying. ✅ **Solution:** the best flavor comes from a **mix of sweet and tart apples**. You can also add pears, rhubarb, or quince for extra freshness. --- ## 6\. Poor hygiene Some think rinsing apples is enough, but clean equipment is just as important. A dirty apple press, crusher, or bottles can ruin the whole batch. ✅ **Solution:** always wash apples, your fruit crusher, apple press, and all containers before use. This keeps the juice clean, fresh, and longer-lasting. --- # Conclusion Making homemade apple juice isn’t complicated when you know what to avoid. Most mistakes are related to apple selection, preparation, and juice preservation. With the **Masito fruit crusher and apple press**, you’ll get more juice, faster, and with maximum flavor and vitamins. ????
