Mike;

depends on the fruit. you want to extract juice, but color and some
flavor also comes from the pulp and skin. Hard fruits like apples,
crabapples. cranberries work better there. My brother runs wild
grapes thru his juicer to extract out the larges seeds, etc. Let us
know what fruit you want to work on.

I do not have any idea yet. I have come across a small fruit crusher
so thought I might make some wine with it but not sure what to crush.
Grapes is the norm, but what else would benifit from it's use?
