I use this press as a cheese press. Overall, I'm happy with it. The quality isn't quite what some might be, but the price is quite a bit less than most too. I would recommend. One note: Apparently the capacity advertised is for the outer canister. I bought the 0.9 gallon unit for more capacity, but the inner canister that holds the cheese is only half a gallon. I went back to the listing and looked and in the smaller print in the description it does say that. Buy a larger unit if you want more capacity.
