I've wasted too much money on garlic presses did bend, break and clog up with half-pressed mush. This superb press from WMF is the Bee's Knees. Yes, it's expensive, but quality comes at a price. This is really quick to use, easy to use and simple to clean, No more sprained wrists trying to squish my cloves with a second-rate press - I wish I'd bought One Of These years ago. Thoroughly recommended!
