Which slim lentil press would you recommend?

Helen G · February 03, 2010, 12:39:11 PM

I am feeling a bit sorry for myself, suffering with a nasty chest infection with a bit of fluid on my lungs, hence not a lot of chat and no beads

Anyway, enough moaning.........to cheer myself up what better way than a bit of retail therapy

I have 3 of the Zoozii lentil presses, large and XL and a small trio one but I would like one that makes a slimmer lentil or lentils as the Zooziis come out quite fat!

Would love to hear what you lovely lot would suggest please

I've just borrowed the zoozi slim ssl and its great.

here's a pick of my first beads with it:

thanks princess, that's a great press (got that one too

) and great beads you've made with it. I'm after the true lentil shape though.

I've got a second hand cattwalk Graduated lentil trio press which I can't get on with, PM me if you're interested in it.... http://www.cattwalk.com/lentilsandcapsules.htm

Thanks Mand but I'm looking for a bit bigger than those, around 25-30mm for focal beads.

It's my favorite by far too, it's always near my torch.
And it's quite slim.
