Nor'easter, I was looking a getting a press too. How many trees do you tap? I see the hand pump in the classifieds and wonder if it would be a good tool for my small operation.

There is no flavor loss with a filter press. Probably an improvement if anything.

The hand pump press works good for up to 5 gallons of syrup. Make sure that the syrup is just under boiling so that it will pump through easier.
