Juicers

 Types of juicers

Slow (masticating, cold-press) juicers run at low speed, don't heat the juice and preserve the most vitamins — ideal for leafy greens, celery, herbs and nut milk. Centrifugal juicers extract juice in seconds at high speed — the best choice for apples, carrots and other hard produce, especially when you have a big harvest. Citrus presses quickly squeeze oranges, grapefruits and lemons.

How to choose a juicer

Pay attention to a few things:

• Extraction type — masticating for vitamins and greens, centrifugal for speed and large volumes.

• Feed chute width — a wide chute lets you drop in whole apples without cutting.

• Power and speed — affect how fast it works and whether it handles hard produce.

• Juice yield and pulp dryness — good masticating models give more juice.

• Easy cleaning — removable, dishwasher-safe parts save time.

Brands and prices

The range includes Hurom, Magimix, Kenwood, Gastroback, Sage, Panasonic and Philips. Prices are mostly in the 349–689 € range, with monthly instalments available, so you can get a premium model without paying it all at once.

Homemade apple juice: an easy recipe

Autumn in Estonia always brings a rich apple harvest — a perfect reason to make natural juice with no sugar or preservatives. All you need is a juicer and ripe apples.

• Take 2–3 kg of apples — enough for about 1.5–2 litres of juice.

• Wash the fruit and remove the cores (with a centrifugal model you can add whole apples if the chute allows).

• Run the apples through the juicer and strain the juice through a sieve if you want it clear.

• For extra flavour add carrot, a little ginger or a handful of blackcurrants.

• Drink it fresh or store it: heat the juice to 80–85 °C (don't boil), pour into sterilised jars and seal.

A masticating juicer gives more juice that keeps longer; a centrifugal one is handier when you have lots of apples to process quickly.

Frequently asked questions

Which juicer is best for apples?

For a big harvest a centrifugal juicer is faster. If maximum juice and vitamin retention matter more, choose a masticating (slow) juicer.

What's the difference between a masticating and a centrifugal juicer?

A masticating juicer presses slowly and without heat, so the juice keeps longer and holds more vitamins. A centrifugal juicer works fast at high speed and usually costs less.

Can I juice greens and celery?

Yes, but only with a masticating juicer — centrifugal models handle leafy greens and herbs poorly.

How many apples do I need per litre of juice?

About 1.3–1.5 kg of apples per litre, depending on how juicy the variety is.

How do I store fresh juice?

In the fridge it keeps for 1–3 days. For longer storage, pasteurise it at 80–85 °C and seal it in sterilised jars.

Is a juicer easy to clean?

On most models the parts detach and are dishwasher-safe. Masticating juicers take a little longer because of the mesh filter.
