Do you like the taste of freshly pressed citrus juices? If so, you absolutely must have a citrus juicer. Maybe you already have one – but keep reading anyway, because you probably don’t have the BEST citrus juicer!

Although you can get by with a really basic, cheap little lemon and lime press, it is not much fun using one of these. Hand held citrus juicers are often made of plastic and are not very sturdy, and even the better stainless steel ones can be hard on the hands. Plus, you are of course limited to juicing the smaller citrus fruits – basically lemons and limes.
The best citrus juicers by far are upright, bench top models that can handle a wide variety of different fruits.

The best juicers on the market at the moment are from Norpco and from Metrokane. Both manufacturers build commercial grade products that are finished to a very high standard – a real complement to any modern kitchen. And both manufacturers have gone to great lengths to design a juicing mechanism that is easy, and fast to use.

So can anyone use one of these juicers? They are powered by hand after all, so does this mean you need to be very strong to make juice with them? The answer is no – anybody should be able to crush out oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes with a juicer like the Mighty OJ from Metrokane. A well positioned pull down lever, and good ergonomics mean that juicing is a breeze.

One of these top quality manually operated citrus juicers can be a good alternative to a more expensive, electric general purpose juicer. Although you are obviously limited to one particular kind of fruit here, you also get to make juice faster and clean up a lot faster. And who won’t be impressed with a sleek, stylish juicer on your kitchen bench!
