Picking the Best Cold Press JuicerPicking the Best Cold Press Juicer

 

If you love starting the day with an immunity-boosting green juice or experimenting with fruit and veggie drinks in your home bar or kitchen, a cold press (also called ai in retail) juicer might be worth investing in. This type of machine operates at a slower speed than a centrifugal juicer, so it’s gentler on ingredients and keeps more nutrients intact. You’ll still need to do some prep, though – chopping celery into 4- or 5-inch segments, core and then halve apples, trim tough melon skin or citrus peel, for example. The size of the machine and how much juice it produces are also important factors to consider, as well as whether you want a wider chute or extra features like a pasta maker or blender.

Cold Press Juicers for Seniors: Easy-to-Use Options for Healthy Aging

Our top pick, the Hurom H400 Slow Juicer, is a sleek and powerful model that does it all. It extracts tons of juice with a minimum of foam and bone-dry pulp, and it has a generous feed chute that can handle whole fruits and vegetables. But even better, it’s very intuitive to put together and use and it cleans up easily. If the H400 is out of your budget, our runner-up, the Tribest Shine SJX Easy Juicer, is an excellent alternative that’s about a third of the price.
