Abstract: A household press for material that is to be pressed, comprising a nut and a screw. The nut has a head part in the shape of a hollow cylinder. One end of the nut part is delimited by a base and an opposite end continues as a coaxially extending half shell having an internal thread provided with an undercut. The screw has a base at one end and a threaded part delimited by the base, with a thread of the threaded part having an undercut. A grip part adjoins the threaded part remote from the screw base. The threaded part can be placed into the thread of the nut to form a receiving chamber between the bases. The receiving chamber is closed down or shortened upon rotation of the nut and screw relative to one another.
