This press is simple and easy to use. It's also easy to clean and seems to be durable. I've used it 4 times and plan on using it a lot more and I think it will stand the test of repeat usage. The only thing that I've found is that for someone with weak hands might find the elastic bands a bit of a challange. I don't have any trouble but others might. This is a good value for the money and it presses out a lot of excess liquids. I recommend this product if you are in need of a tofu press.

I am very impressed with this little Tofu Press. We use it a couple times a week. It works really well. Remember to drain the liquid out as it presses so the tofu isn’t sitting in that liquid. I hope the bands hold up over time. Great tofu press. Easy to use and to clean. We love it.

This is much easier and less messy than the manual method of towels and plates and big heavy cast iron pots to press fluid out of extra-firm tofu. However, it doesnʻt press out as much as the manual method does (even if you leave it in for 24 hours on the highest setting). Still, it makes it easy to do, and the tofu was pressed enough to be usuable for the “miso broiled tofu” NYT recipe where I found the recommendation. I also purchased a less-expensive version, and agree that this one is superior (the other oneʻs rubber bands were nearly impossible to move to the highest setting).

Love this tofu press. Works like a charm!

I bought this in 2020 and have been using it at least twice a week since. Still holding up! It presses well and it's easy to clean. It doesn' take up much space in the cabinet, either. I like the bright color, too. I wash it by hand which is very easy. I I'm happy with it!

Was showing this off to my neighbor and she dared me to drink "the juice" that gets squeezed out. I'll save you the time and effort - DON'T DO IT :( The Tofuture press works so well I had to laugh at my old "found it on the web" routine with plates and napkins and towels, and just basically a mess. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a top-of-the-line and easy-to-use product !

Update 10/23/21: Still works like a charm. No issues with wear. Original review: For anyone interested in a comparison between this tofu press and two others sold on Amazon, here's my take. I'm not that thrilled with the tofu presser -- looks like two small cutting boards with wing nuts and springs to do the pressing. It does the job of getting water out, but squishes my tofu out of shape and leaves it with cracks. No bueno, if you eventually want to cut nice little squares or slabs from your pressed tofu. Also, it requires a dish under it to catch the water that's being squeezed out, which makes it a real estate hog in the fridge. The Tofu Xpress works like a charm. I love it, and I've had mine for about 6 years with no problems. It's very easy to use. I must admit though, I worry about possibly breaking the handle like things that are used to hold the presser down. I'm very careful with mine, because if just one breaks, my press will be useless. Because I'm a vegetarian and eat quite a bit of tofu, I wanted another press, so that I could press more than one slab at a time. I did not want to shell out another $55 (with shipping) for the Tofu Xpress. I decided to try the Tofuture, which at $30 is still pricey, but $25 cheaper than buying another Tofu Xpress. I used it for the first time yesterday, and as far as I can tell, it does just as good a job as the Tofu Xpress. The tofu keeps its nice rectangular shape with no cracking. I end up with a nice dense block of tofu. The Tofuture press seems sturdy enough, and the rubber band things seems like they will hold up for quite some time. If you're on the fence about which tofu press to get, I'd get the Tofuture and save a significant amount of bucks.

Non ho mai fatto il tofu in casa quindi non posso fare confronti sul prodotto che comunque mi sembra molto valido. Facile da pulire con due manici robusti. Il primo tofu che ho fatto è venuto un po’ morbido, ma è buonissimo, tanto che lo mangio a forchettate come un formaggio spalmabile. Ci sono entrati precisi 2 litri di latte di soia, devo imparare qualche trucchetto per non farlo fuoriuscire dai bordi quando è in pressa. Niente a che vedere con il sapore del tofu acquistato al supermercato comunque. Ho usato il latte bio della probios che è molto proteico ed ha un’ottima resa.

The press works great and is easy to use.

Sencillo de usar y práctico, no ocupa mucho espacio

I don't use tofu but I do make paneer. Actually I'd given up making paneer because, while the making bit was fine, I could never get the resulting paneer sufficiently firm to hold together during the cooking process. However I decided to try again because there are a lot of delicious dishes which call for paneer, and I simply can't get hold of it locally. After yet another failure where I had to watch my precious paneer fall to bits instead of toast beautifully in the pan with the coconut and ghee, I decided to see if there was any kind of a press which would solve the problem. As I don't use tofu, I'd never heard of a tofu press, so I was delighted and excited to come across this one - particularly as the only other one I'd come across would have made a mess of £100(!). I saw that some reviewers had encountered problems with the press or the bands breaking, but as the supplier had obviously dealt with these problems swiftly, courteously and usefully, I decided to go ahead and order. I'm extremely glad I did. My first batch of paneer turned out (literally) beautifully. I was amused to see it was imprinted with 'Tofuture' and the leaf and line logo, but this hardly matters when, for the first time ever, there is a block of paneer which can be used in any dish required! I'm now making paneer every week. Two litres of milk makes just the right amount of paneer to fit into the Tofuture tofu press. The block with which you end up is bigger than the pre-packed blocks you buy from the supermarket or grocer's (just supposing your local shops actually sell the stuff...), and really it's the perfect size. Once you've made the paneer, put it into the tofu press and put the press into the fridge, you can just leave it until you need the paneer. Any excess whey gathers in the base of the tofu press and doesn't touch the cheese, so you can use either the paneer or the whey when you wish. It's absolutely fuss-free - and you can even sit other fridge items in the well of the tofu press lid. Homemade paneer is as different from the shop-bought variety as chalk is from, er, cheese. It doesn't take huge amounts of time, the satisfaction is immense, and it's got to be healthier because you can choose decent, fresh milk from properly reared cows. Plus, of course, you can actually have paneer when you want it rather than when you can sweet talk a friend who happens to be going somewhere where they sell paneer. No, the Tofuture tofu press isn't cheap (although it's one heck of a lot cheaper than its rival...), but it's definitely worth the price in convenience and no more wasted effort and milk! 29 October 2017 - I've just bought a second Tofuture press, and there can hardly be a better endorsement than that (particularly as I'm not exactly a spendthrift; even good friends call me parsimonious at the best of times...). The reason for this second purchase is that, since buying the Tofuture press over a year ago, I've found more recipes for paneer and they've all worked out excellently well. So now I can easily use two lots of paneer in a week - and it's just easier to have two presses, given that you can keep paneer in the press in the fridge until you need to use the paneer in a dish. Before buying, I checked that there wasn't another press available which was superior (OK, and cheaper...), but it seems there isn't - and also I've discovered that people are marinating their tofu and/or paneer in the base of the Tofuture press. I'm definitely going to try this and, given that the press is BPA-free, there won't be a problem and it will be simplicity itself. A double recommend.

Easy to use and feels robust. A must have in my opinion.
