Title: compared to Kuhn Rikon Epicurean
Review: Very good press, with one flaw and one caveat.PROs:-- very even crush-- little mess while crushing-- decent leverage-- inexpensiveFLAW:-- the coating begins to flake off after a while (how long with depend on use), but it didn't hinder the function of the press for meCAVEAT:-- clearing peels from the crushing chamber after use requires digging them out; this really slows you down if you crush large batchesBOTTOM LINE:I now use aKuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Pressand it is much better for pressing batches of garlic: the flip-out grate makes clearing the press quick and easy with just a swipe of your finger (much easier than having to dig the peels out of the crushing chamber on the Zyliss). But if you usually only need to crush a clove or two (one pressing), then the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean looses it's big advantage. If you can live with that caveat, the Zyliss does a better job for less.
