Monkkino Lemon Squeezer, Lemon Squeezer Juicer, Citrus Juicer Handheld, Metal Lemon Hand Press, Lime Squeezer Bar Tool, Manual Citrus Press w/Stainless Steel Zester

We originally bought a cheap lemon squeezer from Safeway, and the handle literally broke while squeezing, so I decided to upgrade — and I’m so glad I did. This Monkkino lemon squeezer feels solid and well-made, and you can tell right away it’s built to last. The stainless steel construction is a huge plus for me. I love that there’s no plastic touching my food and no worries about toxins or weird smells. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and squeezes every last drop of juice without straining my hands. It works perfectly for lemons and limes, and the included stainless steel zester is a great bonus. The grip is comfortable, the hinge feels strong, and nothing flexes or bends when you really press down. If you’ve gone through flimsy squeezers like we did, this one is absolutely worth it. I wish I had skipped the cheap option and bought this from the start.

I love the citrus squeezer, it has a strong squeeze, and I love that it’s made out of stainless steel. Before I had one that was made out of a different material. Maybe a coated metal? This one is great. Stainless steel holds up. I’ve washed it by hand but also in the dishwasher. It’s not the biggest so sometimes I have to cut a large lemon into smaller 1/4 pieces but it really gets all the juice out

Very sturdy and easy to use

I got this because I snapped the last one I had while squeezing limes. (It was metal, so I don't know how that happened.) I figured the steel looking one would be more sturdy. It feels sturdy and does the job, but it wiggles or wobbles. Like the build of it isn't tight or secure. Im not sure if it's just the one I got or if they're all like that. Its easy to use, the juice come out as expected, and it's easy to clean. Im just not sure of its sturdiness.

True to my experience, it is incredibly easy to use. The handheld design gives you good leverage, allowing you to extract juice from lemons and limes without straining your hands. It feels solid and gets the job done quickly without any complicated setup. For anyone looking to add fresh citrus juice to their cooking or drinks without the fuss of electric juicers, this manual press is a fantastic, no-nonsense solution.

I love this lemon juicer. Easy to use and squeezes all lice it if each half lemon I use it daily as I'm on the pink salt trick.

The only squeezer to have!! We were using the enamel ones that were chipping and whole pieces were coming off. I can clean this one and know it is clean. And love the bonus citrus zester.

When I received the product it was clear it was manufactured by die cast methods (melting point of zinc is like 400C, while 304 stainless is 1400C, big difference!) and as such I was very skeptical that this product could be made of stainless steel for its price. Furthermore, the luster of the metal was a bit darker than what I was used to seeing with stainless steel (and more consistent with a zinc part) The sellers are knowingly deceptive and intentionally claim it is made of 304 stainless which is austenitic and thus not typically magnetic. This of course "checks out" if you try to use a magnet to see if the squeezer is magnetic - of course, zinc isn't magnetic either... To determine that your lemon squeezer is made of zinc, it's not very hard; you mainly require an accurate scale. Take a scale and weigh it. My squeezer was about 345.6 grams (I got 5.95 g/cm^3). Find a container and fill it with water, labeling the point you filled it to. Dunk it in water making sure the entire squeezer is submerged, and find the new marking point. You have now found the volume of the squeezer (Archimedes' principle). I measured mine to be about 58 grams. Now, divide the two and find the volume. I got Note that the density of cast zinc is probably closer to 6 grams/cubic centimeter, while the density of 304 stainless is 7.93 grams/cubic centimeter. This is over a 30 percent difference, so unless the volumetric measurement was WAY off, this part was made of zinc. So why should one care, besides about being lied to, that the squeezer is made of zinc? First off, zinc is a fraction of the strength of stainless steel. There's a reason we don't build that many structural elements out of zinc. Second of all, if the product truly were 304 stainless as claimed, it would be incredibly corrosion resistant. Zinc, on the other hand, is not nearly as corrosion resistant as 304. Finally, the hinge of this product is likely made of actual 316 stainless steel (it's lightly magnetic), and will probably be the site of galvanic corrosion. Over time, the dissimilar metals will rust at the hinge, and I assess this to be a likely product failure point as it receives the most stress. I do not appreciate being lied to and cannot recommend this product for these reasons.

Very good quality

Liten citruspress, undermålig kvalité (är nog inte rostfri)

So far I only used it 2 times, but it’s been great. Durable, and easy to use for this type of lemon squeezer. A little heavy, but I am ok since it is stainless steel.

This replaced a cheaper aluminium version that flaked its coating and turned black from the juice. This is easier to use and well finished. Just don’t take it in your handbag - it is very heavy! The zester was a bonus.

It has been a great addition to my kitchen tools. It’s sturdy, well-made, and very easy to use — just place the lemon halves inside and press. It extracts juice quickly and efficiently, with minimal effort and almost no seeds.
