I would like to start making some hard cheeses, and want to buy one of your presses. However, I noticed the cheese presses on your site don’t seem to have a gauge on them. Is this true? If not, how do you figure out how much pressure you are applying? Also, they don’t come with followers. Do you suggest people make their own?

Our presses do come with a pressure gauge on the instruction sheet that we recommend copying to a piece of card or plastic. The M3 (0070) is a hard cheese mould suitable for the small press, turning out roughly 1kg cheese. The M5 (0071) followers are sold separately because you may be able to improvise making your own. Worth a shot!
