I had a Siro Press for 2 years and liked it. It was super simple, quick to set up and easy to clean. I got sidetracked when Leader came out with the 7½" Clear Plate press. The plate press is more work, but being able to see what's going on inside is worth it to me. It came with a Wilton diaphragm pump...a step up from the Oberdorfer... other than the racket from the compressor running.

Drew - I just wanted to give you a big thanks for that list of advice you provided. This year, starting with new filters, I pretty much followed what you said. No filter aid, 2 filters, kept the burners on, and my first two batches of 12-15 gallons went right through, about 5 minutes or so. I also put 1/2 inch blocks under the front legs of the finish pan so the sediment would bounce to the back and then go through the filter last. (I would remove the blocks once there was about an inch of syrup left.) I thought I had clear syrup in the past - this has been the best I ever bottled. Thanks again!
