Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Has anyone used an herb press for infusions? Any comments on what is a good budget one for starters? I have tried to search the files, nothing is available. Thanks, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
