I'd prefer to think of the press I want as "kitchen scale". There's no engineering reason I can see for a small oil press to cost any more than, say, an electric breadmaker, or the espresso machine on my counter. Clearly, it's a matter of supply and demand, but I bet the demand is higher than it was a few years ago. If I ran the zoo, I'd market it to health-food fans in the US and Europe, and I'd emphasize the nut butter aspect, while also providing accessories (or just a different setting) for seeds. I can imagine someone like Braun taking it on. In the meanwhile, I guess I have to build my own :-) Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send "unsubscribe" messages to the list address.
