Compact Garlic Press for Everyday Cooks
The Iwatani CGPS-1 measures 5.1 cm x 5.2 cm x 16.6 cm and weighs 171 g. Its zinc-alloy body with 44 angled pressing feet crushes multiple cloves at once, peeled or unpeeled. The ergonomic handle reduces hand strain during repeated use. It suits home cooks who want quick, fine mince without a knife.
Limits of the Manual Press Mechanism
The tool relies on hand force, so very large or extremely hard cloves may need pre-slicing. The 44 pressing feet and matching cavity holes maximise yield but cannot process whole heads in one motion. Stainless-steel pins secure the hinge, yet the mechanism has no mechanical advantage beyond the lever arm. Output texture is fixed by the hole pattern.
Simple Clean-Up with One Common Trap
The press is dishwasher safe and also cleans easily by hand under running water. The mirror electroplated finish resists rust and odour retention. The main issue is garlic skin accumulating inside the cavity and around the pressing feet; a small brush or toothpick clears it quickly. No disassembly is required for routine maintenance.
