Anyone looking to buy a new citrus juicer is often relatively helpless when faced with the sheer number of options available on the market. We've therefore compiled 10 points to consider when choosing your new citrus juicer.
1. High motor power (300W)
The citrus press's motor should be powerful enough to easily handle even large or firm citrus fruits. This saves you the laborious task of squeezing by hand, extracts every last vitamin from your citrus fruits, and lets you enjoy fresh juice every time. Our CITRUS-PRESS features a 300-watt motor, which can handle even the most demanding citrus fruits.
Very important here : the motor should be powerful but also quiet, otherwise the freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning will quickly become an unpleasant noisy experience that rudely wakes all family members from their sleep...
2. Replaceable pressing cones
Whether you want to process small or large fruits, your citrus press should support you in both cases. Different sized pressing cones are useful for this, allowing the press to dynamically adapt to different fruit size requirements. Our CITRUS-PRESS offers two interchangeable pressing cones in different sizes that can be easily swapped out. So, no matter how large or small the fruits you're processing are, with the CITRUS-PRESS, you always have the right powerful press at your side.
3. Drip stop
Many people shy away from juicing not only because of the effort required for manual juicing, but also because of the mess it almost always creates in the kitchen. However, there's a feature that effectively prevents such messes: The drip stop ensures that no juice accidentally spills from the press onto the countertop. This keeps your kitchen pleasantly clean, even when making large quantities of juice. The drip stop built into the CITRUS-PRESS does this job excellently.
4. BPA-free materials
Bisphenol A, or BPA for short, is a chemical found in many plastics, among other things. It can be found in drinking bottles and other containers that come into direct contact with food. The health risks posed by BPA are still largely unknown. However, BPA is suspected of impairing male fertility, among other things. Therefore, it is important to look for BPA-free materials when purchasing a citrus juicer. The CITRUS-PRESS uses only 100% BPA-free materials to protect the health of you and your family. This way, you can be sure that no bisphenol A is entering your body. After all, your juice should not only be delicious but also healthy.
5. Stainless steel sieve
The sieve of a citrus press should be made of a material that is as germ-resistant and easy to clean as possible, yet durable, such as stainless steel. Germs cannot thrive on a smooth stainless steel surface. Furthermore, stainless steel easily withstands most cleaning and disinfectant agents, so the sieve in question can still be used even after many years and cleaning cycles. This is precisely why we use a stainless steel sieve for the CITRUS-PRESS, which offers all of the advantages described above.
6. Easy to use
A modern citrus press should not only be technically sophisticated but also easy to use. That's why the CITRUS-PRESS features an ergonomically designed lever that allows you to squeeze the juice effortlessly and effortlessly from the fruit. This way, you don't have to fiddle with a thousand different knobs and adjust them; you can simply insert the lemon or orange halves you want to squeeze and start squeezing.
7. Easy cleaning
Citrus presses become dirty relatively quickly with everyday use. The pulp and juice of the squeezed fruit are particularly contaminating. Therefore, it's important that the individual parts of the juicer are easy and straightforward to clean. Dishwasher-safe parts are particularly advantageous. With the CITRUS-PRESS, we achieve easy cleaning, among other things, through a clever design that supports easy cleaning. Furthermore, all relevant parts can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher. This saves you valuable time, which you can use for various leisure activities or family outings.
8. Stainless steel design
Stainless steel is known for its ease of cleaning. For this reason, a clever design with a metal coating is a great advantage for a citrus press. With the CITRUS-PRESS, we've opted for precisely this kind of design, which significantly reduces the time required for cleaning compared to other materials.
9. Availability of spare parts
You've probably experienced this before: With many appliances, perhaps just a small but important part breaks over time. It's frustrating when the manufacturer doesn't offer replacement parts. Then, after the warranty period expires, the only option is to dispose of the appliance. As a result, you either have to do without your beloved machine or buy a new one. We're aware of this problem. For this reason, we offer all important replacement parts for our appliances, such as the CITRUS-PRESS. This means that a minor defect doesn't mean the end of your juicer. Many important parts of the CITRUS-PRESS can be replaced easily and simply.
10. German customer support
Especially with manufacturers from the Far East, customer support after purchase often leaves much to be desired. In the worst cases, either no support is offered at all, or the employees only speak broken English. However, German support is a huge advantage for the customer. This ensures smooth communication and, in the best case, even takes care of ordering suitable spare parts. Questions about the device are answered directly and simply. A German-language user manual and German instructional videos are also a huge advantage compared to some Chinese manufacturers. For the CITRUS-PRESS, we rely on German customer support and German instructions, so none of your questions go unanswered. Spare parts can also be ordered directly from us.
Bonus: Recipe book with recipes
A recipe book with recipes gives you many interesting and inspiring ideas for using your new citrus press. For example, you can prepare a variety of drinks with the juice you extract. This way, you don't have to think about what you want to create yourself—just indulge in an idea from the included recipe book! Such a book is also included with the CITRUS-PRESS.
