Making Your Favorite Refreshments With the Best Juicers
If you're a fan of freshly squeezed juices, consider the benefits of juicers designed for home use. With so many juicer machines out there, which one is right for you? Not all of these juicing devices are alike. As you browse our kitchen electrical appliances, discover how each type of juice model works and what features each one has. Whether you want a Vitamin C boost in the morning with a glass of orange juice or a nutrient-dense green juice in the afternoon, start making juice your way with the best juicers.
What Different Types of Juicer Machines Are Available?
At Williams Sonoma, you'll find three main types of juicers: slow and cold-pressed models, centrifugal models and citrus models. Slow and cold-pressed models, also known as masticating juicers, crush fruit or vegetables and then press down on the fruit or vegetable to squeeze out, or extract, juice. Some cold-pressed machines, like the Dash Compact Cold Press Power Juicer, can make your favorite nut milks. This juicer is as durable as a full-sized centrifugal machine but takes up less space on the counter.
When it comes to making juice efficiently, turn to centrifugal models. These convenient machines cut up ingredients using a flat blade that spins very quickly to separate the juice from the pulp. Explore centrifugal juicer options from brands like Breville. Their Juice Fountain Cold XL juicer features an extra-large tube that accommodates whole fruit. It effortlessly extracts fresh juice and filters it through a micro-mesh filter. This juice blender pours juice into a large jug -- perfect for serving at weekend brunches with the whole family.
Brighten your morning with a fresh glass of orange juice or grapefruit juice with one of our citrus models. Some citrus juicers feature motorized presses to ensure complete juice extraction. Most citrus models require you to place a halved piece of fruit on the reamer and press down on a handle to release juice into your favorite drinkware. A drip-free spout helps prevent spills and splashes. A strainer separates the pulp from the juice. Look for domed juice machines that reduce splashing. Citrus models are also great for making lemonade or extracting lime juice.
Smeg appliances, like the ones you'll find in our citrus juicer section, bring retro flair into your kitchen thanks to their Mid-Century design. Smeg appliances come in different colors. Choose your favorite from options like classic white or black, or bring a pop of color to your kitchen with a juicer in pastel blue or soft pink.
Juicer Machines, Blenders and Food Processors: Can They All Juice?
Wondering if juicers and blenders can perform the same function? The short answer is yes. While blenders are known for helping you make delicious smoothies, you can also use blenders for juicing. Keep in mind that blenders will not separate things like pulp and skin from the fruit like juice models will. Blenders combine everything together and do make a thicker drink. If you're short on space, a blender offers more versatility to your kitchen. It's also easier to clean up than a juicing device.
You might be able to make your favorite juices using your food processor. That's right! Depending on which make and model you have, some food processors work with attachments that can be used for juicing. Some are combination attachments, like a 2-in-1 juice extractor and citrus juicer.
Whichever juicing method you prefer, don't forget to top up your collection of tumblers and glasses to enjoy your fresh juice. Have coasters at the ready to keep countertops and tables free from stains and condensation as you and your family enjoy a glass of orange juice or try an apple, carrot and ginger juice.
