Liquid filtering press

A liquid filtering press for squeezing liquid out through a filtration bag, the liquid filtering press comprising:

• two rigid baskets that nest together and squeeze the filtration bag;
• a linkage between the two rigid baskets that facilitates an opening, a closing, a squeezing, and an orienting of the two rigid baskets;
• a fully open configuration to facilitate an insertion, a filling, and a removal of the filtration bag wherein a lower basket of the two rigid baskets is oriented to open upwards and an upper basket of the two rigid baskets, while remaining linked to the lower basket, is fully unstacked and oriented away from the lower basket;
• a partially closed configuration that stabilizes the closure of the filtration bag and to begin pressing wherein the two rigid baskets are oriented to nest together vertically;
• a rotated configuration to pour off filtered liquid pooling above the filtration bag and to finish pressing wherein the two rigid baskets are oriented to nest together horizontally;
• and
• a fully closed configuration wherein the upper basket nests within the lower basket and the bottoms of the two rigid baskets approach to within a distance corresponding to about 25% of the depths of the two rigid baskets.
