Garlic presses are miserable devices. Get a nice laser cut microplane. I don't even peel the garlic, just start grating holding the root end of the clove and the peel splays open. You get a nice mound of perfectly ground garlic without all the faffing about with a press. You can get the stick ones, but I prefer the wider grating area so the peel stays on top.
Something this size is grate.
