Juicing has obviously become a popular health trend in recent years– and for good reason! Freshly squeezed juices are packed with nutrients and can be a great addition to a healthy diet. And while we are far from a health food blog, we certainly love fresh juice because it’s delicious in cocktails.

However, the quality of the juice can depend on the type of bar tools you use. Investing in a high-quality lemon juicer can help maximize juice yield and ensure that you are getting the most out of your fruits and vegetables.

Types Of Juicers

There are different types of juicers on the market, including centrifugal juicers, masticating juicers, citrus juicers, and twin-gear juicers. Each type of juicer works differently and is best suited for certain types of fruits and vegetables.

Citrus juicers are designed specifically for juicing citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. These juicers are simple to use and typically less expensive than other types of juicers. There are two main types of citrus juicers: manual and electric.
Manual citrus juicers are hand-operated and come in different styles such as handheld juicers and countertop juicers. These juicers are a great option for those who want to save money and prefer a more traditional way of juicing.
They’re also compact and easy to store, especially the handheld ones. However, manual juicers require more effort and can be a little tiring to use for large quantities of fruits.
Electric citrus juicers are a more convenient option than manual juicers because you’re not squeezing and pushing by hand. They’re also faster and can handle larger quantities of fruits.
Electric citrus juicers come in different sizes and shapes, from smaller handheld juicers to countertop juicers. However, they can be more expensive than manual juicers and may take up more counter space.

  • Easy To Use & Clean – Lemon juicers are easy to use and clean, making them a convenient addition to any kitchen. They are usually dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
  • Nutrient Retention – When you use a lemon juicer, you can be sure that you’re getting the most out of your fruits. A lemon juicer can extract more nutrients from your fruits, ensuring that you get all the vitamins and minerals you need– even if you’re just making a cocktail.
