Lines: 22 Xref: linus net.cooks:4327 net.wines:454 I remember several years ago when my grandmother got an Acme Juicerator and i made apple juice. What heaven that stuff was. The Acme Juicerator isn't a cider or wine press but is a general-purpose fruit and vegetable juicer. It works by shredding the fruit and then those shreds are centrifuged at high speed to extract the juices. Many health-food and discount appliance stores carry them. The obvious advantage over the White Mountain cider press is that it is electrical and you just shove apples into the feed chute and out comes the juice. Also, i personally find the White Mountain products way overpriced. When i bought my ice cream machine i looked at the White Mountain and couldn't understand why i should pay over $100 for it when i could get a no-name brand one that looked just as good for less than $30 (actually it's even better; the motor slows down/speeds up as necessary to compensate for the freezing of the ice cream). I was also somewhat concerned that the wooden beaters in the White Mountain could absorb flavors. -- rusty c. wright {ucbvax,ihnp4,akgua,hplabs,sdcsvax}!sdcarl!rusty
