Abstract

A press includes a movable platen and a non-moving platen within a housing defining a pressing chamber, an opening is defined at the top of the pressing chamber for receiving a juice pack and an outlet is defined in a front wall of the chamber vertically between the top and bottom of the movable platen. The lid may include a front portion extending over the front of the pressing chamber and defining a slot that is aligned with a slot defined by the front wall to form the outlet. The front wall, the lid, and a sidewall may be removable for cleaning. The juice pack may have edges defining a rectangle with a spout at a first corner and an aperture for suspending the juice pack in the pressing chamber at a second corner that is intersected by a same edge intersecting the first corner.
