 The bestAug 22, 2011
By Llenroc
There are large number of garlic presses sold on Amazon. It seems each has issues, except this one!
- The Henckel Twin Pure is Completely stainless steel, very ergonomic, feels great in hand, garlic comes out easily, and relatively easy to clean.
- $10 cheaper than the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean, and no issue of jamming fingers like the Kuhn.
- Oxo, good price, but water seeps in the handle.
- Zyliss, not stainless steel. Chrome corrodes.
- models with lots of plastic is just not the same.

Sturdy Garlic PressApr 30, 2011
By Kat
Have used this quite a few times so far. Its very sturdy, and presses garlic with ease. Only the thinnest layer of skin is left to clean out. Well worth the little extra money this costs knowing it is 18/10 stainless, will never rust, and has no coating to chip off.

good garlic pressJul 30, 2011
By E. Dodd
"YummyDC"
This garlic press gets the job done - it does kind of "juice" the garlic in that it squeezes the moisture out of it (and sometimes on me rather than into the pan/pot if I'm not aiming it carefully) but it also doesn't leave any unpressed garlic in the chamber so overall I am happy with it! It also cleans up well and can be put in the dishwasher.

 Very Poor Design and Unfortunately Going Back to AmazonJan 12, 2012
By Richard K. Heilman
"aka 'Trouts10' and connoisseur of everything esoteric."
I was looking for a "super duty" garlic press to supplement my old, "made in Switzerland" Zyliss aluminum model, which has performed admirably for me for many years without fail. However, sometimes I'm in a hurry when cooking and often when I go to reach for my Zyliss, I find it's sitting in the sink under some dirty dishes forcing me to take a precious few seconds to clean it.
So after many years of being a "one garlic press chef", I thought I'd get a second one and splurge on a stainless steel, high-capacity model. After reading through dozens of reviews for the Oxo, Kuhn, Rosle, WMF, etc., I decided to get this Henckels due to it's great reviews (although there were only 6 when I purchased this in January, 2012) and the fact I own several of the company's 4 Star German-made flagship knives, which I love. However, this press has some issues, mostly due to poor design, and is going back to Amazon - a first for me, as I have never returned anything that I have purchased from them.
First off, I was disappointed to find the press was made in China. Not in itself necessarily a bad thing, but for a $30 press I would have expected a German-made unit, and I don't think that is mentioned anywhere in the description.
Second, and the worst thing, there is a seam on both edges of the sieve hopper where it is folded up to form the back side; the garlic skin and pulp will wedge into these crevices and are impossible to remove with your finger, so you are forced to use one of your good knives to clean out the residue - a very poor design and a good way to damage the edge of your fine knife if you use it for this purpose. You could try a toothpick, but it would probably break off the tip in the crevice and then you'd have to remove that, too.
Third, the item is stainless steel - which is nice - but it is stamped metal, not machined, so it has a cheap feel to it. (The sieve is particularly thin metal.) The top handle is rounded and comfortable, but the stamped design of the bottom handle and other parts gives it dull edges that are not at all pleasant to the touch.
Fourth, the design gives it many parts, grooves, and surfaces that can collect food and debris, making it time-consuming and hard to clean.
Overall, I am very disappointed in this "designed in Germany" Henckels product and would have expected much better from them. Evidently this "innovative, highly functional design by Matteo Thun" was never actually used by him.
Save yourself some money and get a simpler but well manufactured press from another company.

Agree with Other ReviewersOct 15, 2011
By Mark
I gave this as a gift and was amazed how well this works. It does indeed work well without having to skin the cloves, and all the clove is nicely minced with virtually no waste. Beautiful heavy stainless steel construction. Will buy one for myself now!
