I love the Zoozii's straight sided lentil (SPREE) presses - they eliminate the indents by the bead holes of regular lentil presses.

My favorites are the Zoozii SSL (straight sided lentil) also known as the spree. I used to use the regular ones but I like the very finished look of the SSLs.

I had the Cattwalk straight sided spree and didn't care for it, not to slam Catt's presses, I have her crystals and love it, I'm sure it was just that press wasn't for me. I had to spend and inordinate amount of time (way more than my other presses) fussing with the ends. I'm wondering if I should try Zooziis instead, anyone know if there's a difference?
Hayley those birds are just adorable! I love the first one with the baby peeking out from behind, so cute!

All made with the regular Zooiis lentil in various sizes. I love mine!
The first pink one has a bit of an issue on the bead hole, and it is far easier to use the Spree, but I still opt for the regular at the torch.

Updated question: for the large+ ssl, how much glass do you use, and what shape is the initial gather before you press it? An olive shape? perfectly round? Thanks for all the advice and pics!

I have the zooziis graduated lentils and find them quite easy to use. I use a football shaped gather. I do want the straight sided press one of these days.
