Juicing at home is a great way to kickstart your health and wellness goals. If you're serious about juicing (or are just tired of spending loads of money on the bottled stuff), a cold press juicer is a kitchen appliance that's well worth the investment.
Chock-full of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, fresh fruit-and-veggie juice is a game changer for your health. By this point, you're probably well aware of how buzzy juicing is in the wellness world. From the celery juice craze to influencers swearing by the latest liquid diet, juicing always seems to be trending.
When buying a juicer, it's essential to understand the difference between a cold press juicer and a centrifugal juicer. Cold press juicers, also known as masticating juicers, grind fruits and veggies without the use of added heat — hence “cold press.” This process involves the produce being slowly crushed, strained, then separated from the pulp, and results in better preservation of the vitamins and nutrients that naturally exist in fresh produce. And since cold press juicers operate slower, they're also quieter.
With cold press or masticating juicers, speed, quality of extraction, and motor power are chief things to look out for. Traditional (or centrifugal) juicers add heat during the extraction process, which reduces the time it takes for juicing, but it can also cut down the nutritional value of your fresh juice.
Naturally, the quality of juice yield you can extract should be a top priority. Cold press juicers normally produce a higher, denser yield so you’re already on the right track, but do check the dryness of the pulp, as wet pulp can indicate that the juicer isn’t as effective in extracting the most from your produce.
Some produce requires more power to cut through (think: carrots, beets, fennel, turnips, etc.), so a juicer with a strong motor, at least 1.1 horsepower (Hp) or higher, is best. When shopping for the best juicer for your needs, keep your eye out for terms like “vertical,” which help indicate a smaller footprint (or how much space it takes up on your counter). Overall, a simple machine that’s also easy to clean, and, of course, unobtrusively display on your kitchen counter will ensure optimum use.
