Citrus fruit pressing device, comprising:

• two pressing elements for performing a pressing action on a piece of citrus fruit, which pressing elements have surfaces for contacting different sides of a piece of citrus fruit to be pressed, and which pressing elements are movable with respect to each other in two opposite directions, i.e. towards each other and away from each other;
• cutting means for performing a cutting action on a piece of citrus fruit, through the peel of the piece, which cutting means are arranged for penetrating into the piece from a side which is free from contact to the surfaces of the pressing elements;
• and
• a generally cylinder-shaped pressing chamber having an interior space for receiving a piece of citrus fruit to be pressed;
• wherein the cutting means comprise at least one knife which is arranged inside the pressing chamber on a side surface of the pressing chamber;
• wherein the pressing chamber is partially delimited by the surfaces of the pressing elements, wherein the surface of one pressing element constitutes one end surface of the pressing chamber, wherein the surface of another pressing element comprises an opposite end surface of the pressing chamber,
• wherein one of the pressing elements has an opening for allowing a piece of citrus fruit to pass from outside the pressing element to inside the pressing element, i.e. inside the pressing chamber, and vice versa, and wherein the pressing element is rotatably arranged in the device.
