Presses cheese from 2 gallons of milk fairly effectively.

Works well, not too expensive. When you press the cheese, you have to be careful to make sure that the disk continues to push down flat on the cheese and does not go lop-sided at a diagonal and go out of place, but you can easily see through the holes and loosen the press and re-press if you see this happening. You will need a cheese cloth to go with the press, which is not sold with the press. You can remove a lot of moisture from the cheese with this press. I used this for pressing soft cheese made from 2 gallons of regular temperature pasteurized whole milk curdled with lemon juice. In order to press this much cheese, I filled it up completely once, but it wouldn't hold all the curds in the first press, then pressed out the liquid, then unscrewed the press, and put in the rest of the cheese. In this way, it could press the amount of curds that comes from two gallons. The total volume inside the container is about 7 cups, bur remember you have to press the cheese down so your total at the end will be less than 7 cups. I'd say I pressed 2 gallons worth of cheese down to about 4-5 cups of cheese in the end.
