Overview
A manual cast aluminum tortilla press that flattens a ball of masa into a round in one motion, sized for roughly 6 inch corn tortillas. It has no motor and no cord, just a hinged lever built for repeated use.
- Cast aluminum construction
- About 6 inch pressing diameter
- Recipe included
- Wipe-clean, no dishwasher needed
Who it's for
Suits home cooks making corn tortillas, pupusas or similar pressed dough regularly and willing to line the plates with plastic each time. Anyone wanting an even edge-to-edge thickness or planning to press flour tortillas should expect extra work or a different tool.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who lined the plates with plastic report good, repeatable corn tortillas and success with pupusas, and several call it sturdy for the price. The main complaints are a thickness taper near the hinge that some had to work around by rotating the dough, and one report of the handle snapping after repeated use.

Questions about the Brand 1063
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Norpro tortilla press work for flour tortillas?
Reviewers say it handles corn masa well but flour dough still needs to be rolled out by hand afterward.
Do you need to line the Norpro press with anything?
Most reviewers who got clean results lined both plates with a sheet of plastic or a cut zip-top bag to stop the dough sticking.
Is the tortilla thickness even across the Norpro press?
Several owners report the hinge side stays slightly thicker than the handle side, since the plates do not fully close there; rotating the dough 90 degrees before a second press can even it out.
