I ordered this press: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CFBZP/ref=psdc_1095338_t1_B01IW0MG2O but it hasn't arrived yet. Anyone ever used one? Recommendations for the best oranges for juicing?

If you don't mind splurging - Cushman Honeybells are the best juicing oranges I've ever tried:

We've ordered from H&D before and it's always good. That would be quite a splurge. Maybe for special occasions.
Still hoping for additional suggestions.

My dad used to send me a box as a birthday present each year - I'd look forward to that week of fresh squeezed juice all year!
I'd also be interested in any suggestions anyone else has as well

No particular variety, just want to relay a story.
My favorite grocery store used to do fresh squeezed right in front of you. Shockingly expensive. Plus the oranges, at least cosmetically, couldn't be sold. They were all green, maybe a touch of color, The juice was fresh, but bottled or even frozen was much better. It took pounds and pounds of oranges to get a decent amount of juice, probably why it was so expensive. They didn't do it for long, at $10-$12 a quart, not a lot of buyers.
As mentioned above, Valencias are good, but good luck finding them. I've occasionally come across "Valencias", but almost every store in my area just sells "oranges", nobody knows exactly what variety they are.
Just make sure they are solid and feel heavy, otherwise you're just buying a lot of rind and pith, very little fruit or juice.
