never used it for pressing heather honey but I cannot see any difficulty with using one of them. In fact I bought one myself to crush wild comb but never got to use it yet. Should be a no brainer

I use one for doing the cappings, works fine for that and leaves a nice block of wax / pollen etc for melting down, or as I did this week, soaked them in vodka after pressing down and strain ...... Lovely little mellow during

As above. Bought a fruit press from Machine Mart last year to deal with cappings. I only differ in that I used the wash from the pressed cappings to make a wee bit of mead...... (slight experiment, left the 'wash' open to the air and allowed wild yeasts to start the fermentation. Will see what it tastes like in a year or so!)

I use a metal fruit press, bought from ebay, for heather honey.
