The Kannastör 14mm Kief Press is for material you have already collected, not for grinding flower. Its job is to compact loose pollen or kief into disks using a hand-operated press. If you save sifted material in a grinder's lower chamber, this gives you a separate tool for pressing it instead of leaving everything loose.
This version uses aluminum construction and a triple-dowel system that can press two disks at a time. The 14mm size matters: Honeybee Herb offers that specific version here, not every size in the manufacturer's range. It is a press accessory rather than a grinder, storage jar, or screen.

The dowel arrangement is what separates this tool from a simple storage tube. It applies pressure to collected loose material and accommodates two small disks in one pressing operation. This doesn't mean the press creates kief; you need sifted material ready before you begin.
Work with the parts as a matched 14mm press rather than mixing them with another size. Avoid forcing components if they are misaligned or the material is overpacked. The point is controlled manual compression, not a powered mechanism or a promise about how any particular material will finish.
The 14mm designation identifies this variant. Kannastör also produces another press size, but that does not change what is included on this Honeybee Herb page. Its published body dimensions are 1.375 inches tall and 0.875 inch in diameter, useful when making room in an accessory drawer.
RYOT also lists tolerance up to 175°F for the aluminum press. That is a manufacturer limit, not a required heating step, a suggested curing schedule, or a reason to exceed the rating. Follow the manufacturer's directions for any heat-related handling rather than guessing at temperatures or timing.
A press belongs after the collection stage. A screened grinder such as the Kannastör four-piece solid-body grinder separates fine material into a lower compartment; the press handles that collected material afterward. The two accessories do different jobs, so neither replaces the other.
If you're still choosing a grinder, browse the herb grinder collection for screened and unscreened styles. Keep the press components free of leftover material and dry between uses. Don't assume extra disks, cases, or other tools are included unless shown as part of this 14mm option.
