Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

i was impressed at first with how well this worked.. cleaned it out after every press. no issues.. until clove number 9. had the same problem as others who posted their catastrophic failure pictures. i wish i had looked at those before i purchased. was recommended this by sam the cooking guy. he had a very old version that worked flawlessly. ive purchased most of everything he recommended so far and was impressed, so i took a chance. extremely disappointed. used slow and steady pressure and those 2 frail stems just couldnt hold up and broke. a shame that they cheaped out. would pay more money for something of quality that would last. first zyliss brand item purchased. will never shop that brand again. buyer beware.
