How To Select Best Juicer - Juicer Types

There are truly quite a few types of juicers out there, so you have to know which kind you need to buy. When we were shopping for our Breville, we were so overcome by the fact that there were so many types of juicers that my girlfriend and I had to ask the sales child to repeat everything twice or thrice to ensure we got it all. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started!

Citrus Juicers

These are the most basic juicers. Citrus juicers are also definitely cheap, especially the manual ones that require you to use good ol’ arm power to get your juice fix. All you have to do is ream the citrus fruit against the cone to by out the juice. However, this type of juicer only works with citrus fruit like limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit.

Centrifugal Juicers

Centrifugal juicers are the most usual and affordable type of juicer. They work by using blades to cut up fruit and vegetable into tiny pieces before spinning the bits against a prime mesh to strain juice out using you guessed it, centrifugal force! They don’t work very well with leafy vegetables however because centrifugal wrench is just not enough to squeeze out what little moisture there is in leaves.

Single Gear Masticating Juicers

These kind of juicers are slightly more overpriced but well worth it I think because their motors operate at really low speeds, which helps the fruit and veg retain as many nutrients as achievable during the juicing process. They crush the fruit and veg into pulp before squeezing it for juice, so these kind of juicers can also be used to make slushy foods like nut butters, sorbet, pasta and baby food.

Twin Gear Triturating Juicers

These are also unreservedly expensive, because like single gear masticating juicers, they operate at very low speeds, which produces less foam and retains more nutrients in the force after the juicing. They have interlocking twin gears, which work in tandem to press out the juice without heating it to ensure fewer enzymes and nutrients, are killed in the transform.

As juicers go, this one is a winner. You’d be hard “pressed” to find a better model. I’m a wee confused by the other reviewers comment about low juice yield, as you’ll definitely get a lot more juice than if you use a hand press replica. You’ll also walk away without completely sticky fingers, which is always nice.
