It really takes quite a bit of grunt work to produce oil so you need to have a stable or dedicated place to mount the press. Hazelnuts, almonds, sunflower, and styrian pumpkin seeds have all produced oil for me. You do have to filter or let settle for a clear product. My other half is gluten intolerant so the nut cake that is watse I want to play with and see if I can dehydrate it a bit more (it is almost dry) and come up with a useable flour but I haven't done much to that end.
I have seen them offered for less than Bountiful has them at so google about a bit.

I have been wanting one of these for a while because I have macadamia trees. Macadamia oil is supposed to be superior to olive oil. I had been thinking until recently that when I get my press I would just give the cake press to the chickens. I'll still do this for my lower-grade nuts, but I had been thinking that if you use good nuts and put the cake press into the food processor that it would be a good high protein flour. Seems to me that defatted nut flours would be closer to wheat flour, but in searching I havent seen much info on this or people doing this with their nuts.

I definitely would find a use for macadamia press cake. It should make a good flour for cakes, cookies, and brownies.
