Anyone Use A Home Oil Press? | |

Offer Upgrade  User ID: 78176490  United States08/13/2021 12:21 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What do you recommend? Already have a dehydrator and grain mill but feel I should also add an oil press to my setup. Planning for self reliance and potential doom scenarios, I struggle with choosing electric or manual. However, even with a power grid collapse on the mainland, we should be OK here on Kauai as we are primarily hydro and solar. Also considering a Jackery portable solar setup.

Oh and the bags. Get thousands. 90 micron is fine by me. And a set of wax workers tools. And silicone work surfaces. And 91 percent alcohol (70 is useless). |

I’m more inclined towards a cold press - healthier. I had a sweet little machine fedexed in while shipping from China was free lol. Dial in the upper and lower plate temp once (195), set the crush time (120), fill the bag, put in parchment, push the button...bzzzzzt.....2 mins later, beep, bzzzt, done. Warm, fresh and sticky. No chemicals, no water, no wait. They called it a tee shirt press, was like $900. Heat the used bags in coconut oil, strain, make brownies. Almost 100% efficient. Now I'd just get the heating plates, a 20 ton jack and some welding for the frame. Same result, maybe $300. Next cheapest best way is bubble bags, dry ice and a glass table. You can use dry trim and absolutely REAP. For $30 in dry ice you save a full day of messing around with ice cubes and power drills lol. Again, totally toxin free. |

(OP) User ID: 78176490 United States08/16/2021 08:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I stopped to seriously consider what I could make oil from that grows where I live, I came up with coconut, avocados, macadamia nuts and kukui nuts. Coconut and avocado oil can be extracted without a press so if I get one, it will be primarily for Mac nuts and kukui nuts. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.
