The Atlas deluxe biscuit maker comes with 20 discs. Do the math - the possibilities are extensive! This multi-purpose device is made from food grade aluminum and operated manually for simple use and maintenance. The biscuit maker is easy to clean, too, and a must-have for a serious baking tool collection. Instructions and a recipe booklet are included. Made in Italy.

In Europe they call cookies "biscuits," and you can too if you want to lull yourself into thinking you're eating something healthier than sugar cookies. With this Italian biscuit maker, it's easy to get the same size and shape of cookie every time. Just put the dough in the cylinder, choose small or large cookies, attach one of the 20 die-plates, and press the lever; the precise amount of dough is automatically pumped out onto your cookie sheet. Your cookies will look store-bought perfect, but taste oh-so-much-better because you baked them yourself. The maker and die-plates should be hand washed, and they come with a three-year warranty. --Doree Armstrong

I highly recommend this cookie press. I used my mother's old press for many years (it, too, was not plastic at all). When the handle on it broke I replaced it with a new plastic cookie press. That was a mistake. It only lasted for one use. Plastic=no good.
I searched for non-plastic cookie presses and found this one. It works just great. You can even adjust the size of the cookie. They press out evenly each time. It is not difficult to use at all.
This is well worth the price and Amazon has the best price that I can find, plus free shipping. I am VERY pleased with this cookie press and am so glad that I got it. If you are looking to buy a cookie press I suggest you get this one. The plastic ones do not last at all.

I was very disappointed with the quality of this cookie press..It was advertised as Stainless Steel when in fact its aluminum I think for the money I could have done a lot better and thought that perhaps because it was made in Italy it was going to be a better press then I received..

This is my first biscuit maker and found it easy to use and love the assortment of disks.

I grew up making spritz cookies with my gram, particularly around the holidays. Because of all the happy, fun memories I had of that, I decided it was time to get a press of my own so my daughter could learn to make them with me.

The design of this cookie press is pretty good, extremely easy to use and clean. My hand was hurting after about 10 presses, so I had to wrap a towel around the lever. My complaint about this item is that for small cookies, you use the small setting. The dough, however, does not drop off onto the pan on that setting. Switching to the large setting doesn't work much better because then too much dough comes out and the cookies end up very "smooshed" and without enough definition.

I played around with it and finally settled on small setting, one and a half presses. I'm still not terribly happy with the result, but I'll keep playing with it because they do TASTE like the spritz cookies of my childhood (: Perhaps I'll come back and revise my review, but until then, it gets 3 stars.

I received the biscuit maker a few days ago and much to my surprise it is not made out of stainless steel. It is made out of aluminum, which is the material is was trying to avoid. This item is unfortunately advertised incorrectly. I am therefore returning it to amazon.
