5 Best Juicer for Oranges, Grapefruits and other Citrus Fruits — 2020 Guide

Cit­ruses — oranges, lemons, limes, grape­fruits, tan­ger­ines, clemen­tine, man­darin, sat­suma, tan­ge­lo, cit­ron, kabo­su, kiy­o­mi, sudachi — are the most suit­able and hence very pop­u­lar fruits for juic­ing. They can be juiced in a few ways, such as with

• Ded­i­cat­ed cit­rus juicers, which are avail­able in the form of 
  • Elec­tric Ream­er;
  • Mechan­i­cal Cit­rus Press;
• Ver­ti­cal sin­gle auger mas­ti­cat­ing juicers with cit­rus attach­ment;
• Any juic­ing extrac­tor.

Where­as, the cit­rus juice extract­ed by each type of juicer will vary not only by yield but also by qual­i­ty. The pur­pose of this arti­cle is to make clear the way each juicer type extracts the cit­rus fruit juice, the qual­i­ty of the final prod­uct, and eas­i­ness to use and clean each type of juicer after use. So you will be able to make your own deci­sion about which type of juicer is the best to meet your needs.

Dedicated Orange and Citrus Juicers – Electric Reamer and Manual Press

The ded­i­cat­ed cit­rus juicers – elec­tric ream­er and man­u­al cit­rus press — do not require peel­ing oranges or oth­er cit­rus fruits for juic­ing. The prepa­ra­tion pro­ce­dure involves only cut­ting the fruit in half and extract the juice sim­ply from the fruit segment.

Pros:

• Very fast to extract juice;
• Pro­duce high qual­i­ty slow cold-press­ing juice;
• Require lit­tle prepa­ra­tion time because do not need to peel produce;
• Extract the best juice yield from Oranges, Lemons, Limes, and Grapefruits;
• Usu­al­ly cheap­er than slow juicers;
• Easy to use and clean;

 Cons:

• Not ver­sa­tile and juice only cit­rus produce.

Electric Citrus Reamer

An elec­tric cit­rus ream­er is a sim­ple machine that employs a rotat­ing reamer/auger to press juice. The user either man­u­al­ly with a hand (cheap­er machine) or with a fruit dome (expen­sive machine) holds half of the fruit against the rotat­ing auger to squeeze the juice. The juice is passed through a strainer.

Elec­tric cit­rus ream­er has a small num­ber of parts such as a motor body, ream­er cone, strain­er, juicer bowl with juice out­let, the more expen­sive machine may also have a juic­ing dome and han­dle to hold the half fruits against the cone dur­ing juic­ing. So, they are very easy to use and clean.  Some machines may have few coned auger sizes for small and large fruits.

The ream­ers process juice via slow-speed press­ing tech­nol­o­gy and thus deliv­er high-qual­i­ty juice with a long shelf-life.

There is a huge vari­ety of elec­tric motor pow­ered cit­rus juicers to choose from – styl­ish Bre­ville or Smeg, bud­get Cuisi­nart, BLACK+DECKER, or well-known juic­ing brand Cit­riS­tar. In this arti­cle, we will look at the two most effi­cient and pop­u­lar machines.

Tribest CS-1000 CitriStar Electric Citrus Juicer

The Tribest CS-1000 Cit­riS­tar is a bud­get cit­rus ream­er juicer. Nev­er­the­less, it is very effi­cient and deliv­ers high orange and oth­er cit­rus fruit juice yield and very pop­u­lar among the consumers.

Base Unit and Motor: The Tribest Cit­ris­tar comes with a plas­tic juicer body and a 120 V, 50 Watts motor. It has a wide base and rub­ber feet with the con­ve­nient wrap cord stor­age under the base. Keep­ing your juicer clean when it sits on the counter or stored in the cab­i­net is pro­vid­ed with a plas­tic dust cov­er, which appears to be very handy.

Juic­ing

 Cone/Ream: The juicer han­dles well all larg­er range of fruit sizes from small lime to the largest grape­fruits for juic­ing. It is equipped with the two sizes nest­ed one in anoth­er lemon/lime clear plas­tic reams. If you need to juice small­er fruit, just remove the large ream to get the small­er lime one. To juice, a large fruit such as orange or grape­fruit just returns the large ream into place above the small ream.

Strainer/Screen: Although the juicer is made most­ly from plas­tic, it has a stur­dy, rust-free stain­less steel strain­er, and it does a good job catch­ing seeds and most of the pulp out of the juice.

Juicer Col­lec­tor Bowl with Spout: It has a plas­tic juicer bowl and an inbuilt and irre­mov­able stain­less steel spout. How­ev­er, the spout is moved up and down and could be locked dur­ing pro­cess­ing by push­ing it up and released any time you would like to pour the juice into the glass.

There are such things as com­plaints from cus­tomers about the small spout hole because it tends to clog. Yet, you can unclog the drain sim­ply by flick­ing the spout open and closed a few times, and it works; you do not need to dis­as­sem­ble the juicer for this purpose.

Clean­ing: The juicer has only 3 parts – body unit, juic­ing rem, bowl, and screen — thus, it is very easy to assemble/disassemble and clean.

Oper­a­tion: The oper­a­tion is also sim­ple; the machine is switched by firm­ly press­ing the halved fruit against the ream.

The juicer is designed to oper­ate no more than 15 con­sec­u­tive and must rest 15 sec­onds after the oper­a­tion; it is also rec­om­mend­ed to oper­ate no more than 5 min­utes before a few min­utes rest.

Juice yield: 4 Navel oranges deliv­er just under 2 cups/16 ounces of juice.

Dimen­sions: 8 W x 8 D x 9.5 H inch­es, weights 7.7 Lbs (3.5 KG).

War­ran­ty: The juicer has only a 1 Year War­ran­ty; how­ev­er, it is a well-made machine and could eas­i­ly serve for 3–5 years. Besides, the Tribest Man­u­fac­tur­ing Com­pa­ny is well-known man­u­fac­ture with decent cus­tomer ser­vice locat­ed in the USA.

Sum­ma­ry: Although the Tribest CS-1000 Cit­riS­tar juicer is a rather basic machine made most­ly of plas­tic, it is very well made and has a decent life expectancy.

Though it deliv­ers very good juice yield and could be a per­fect machine for those likes to hold the cit­rus fruit in hand while oper­at­ing the machine, it allows to con­trol the juic­ing process and get max­i­mum juice out of the fruit.

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press

The 800CPXL Cit­rus Juicer is the pre­mi­um Bre­ville juicer that is made in Chi­na while engi­neered and patent­ed in the USA. This brushed stain­less steel machine is designed with a unique pull-down juic­ing arm/lever that allows juice oranges and oth­er cit­rus fruits with min­i­mal effort but indus­tri­al power.

Base Unit and Motor: This elec­tric ream­er has an ergonom­ic exte­ri­or design with its body made 100% from durable die-cast resis­tant to cor­ro­sive cit­ric acid stain­less steel.

The styl­ish body hous­es 120 volts, 110 watts very qui­et motor. The machine has a plas­tic motor shaft that is sub­ject to com­plaints from some cus­tomers. The good thing is that the replace­ment shaft is avail­able to buy from the man­u­fac­tur­er, and the price is reasonable.

Juic­ing Cone: The Bre­ville 800CPXL ream­er is equipped with an acid-resis­tant die-cast stain­less steel juic­ing cone. It is designed with 4‑fins around it to keep secure fruits in place while pro­cess­ing and extract a max­i­mum juice yield from all sizes of cit­rus fruits, from the small­est lime to orange to the largest grapefruits.

Strainer/Pulp Fil­ters: It comes with two (2) dif­fer­ent stain­less steel pulp fil­ters – the coarse with larg­er holes for pulpi­er juice and the fine with small­er holes for less pulpy juice

Juicer Bowl: The machine has a die-cast stain­less steel juice bowl with a non-drip juice spout. The juice bowl col­lects the sieved juice from the strain­er, which goes then into the glass through the juice spout. You can also push the spout up to keep the juice inside the bowl and release it when you fin­ish juicing.

Juic­ing Dome and Han­dle: It has a sim­i­lar to com­mer­cial mod­els a dome and lever design. When you place the half fruits on the cone, the dome will keep the orange in place while pro­cess­ing. So, you do not require apply­ing a lot of pres­sure while juic­ing; basi­cal­ly, you can do it with one finger.

Using and clean­ing: The juicer has only 4 parts – body, bowl col­lec­tor, strain­er, and dome — which are eas­i­ly put togeth­er for assembling.

The juic­ing cone, strain­ers, bowl col­lec­tor, and dome are all the remov­able parts that could be cleaned under the run­ning water or on the dish­wash­er’s top-shelf.

Oper­a­tion: There is only one but­ton on the back of the body that pow­ers the machine. It is acti­vat­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly when you place the halved fruit onto a cone, pull down the juic­ing dome, and it rests on the cit­rus fruit. You stop the oper­a­tion when you push the lever up to release the cit­rus peel.

The juicer is equipped with a safe­ty fea­ture, so it will not oper­ate until the dome and lever place enough pres­sure on the top of the cone.

Juice yield: The machine is very effi­cient and eas­i­ly squeeze 1 glass from 3–3.5 large Navel orange.

Dimen­sions: The juicer is huge and mea­sures 11″ x 9″ x 18″.

War­ran­ty: The Bre­ville comes with an ONLY 1‑year war­ran­ty the help­ful and sup­port­ing cus­tomer ser­vice. Despite the very short war­ran­ty, the machine is very well made and durable.

Sum­ma­ry: Although the Bre­ville 800CPXL Cit­rus machine comes with a high price tag, it worth every pen­ny. It is well-made, styl­ish, fast, and qui­et and unlike most oth­er juicers. It is easy to use that even a child (under super­vi­sion) or a per­son with severe arthri­tis could eas­i­ly oper­ate this gadget.

The juicer works smooth­ly with any fruits and nev­er torque­ing and han­dles all types of fruits from small lime to huge grape­fruits. It squeezes every drop of juice, leav­ing the peel absolute­ly dry. It actu­al­ly deliv­ers the high­est yield among all types and makes of elec­tric ream­er cit­rus machines.

Mechanical Citrus Press

The Mechan­i­cal Cit­rus Juicer is a hand-oper­at­ed press that uses the can­tilever action to mul­ti­ply force to press the cit­rus fruit juice. They indeed do not need elec­tric­i­ty for oper­a­tion. These juicers are nor­mal­ly very large and heavy but are very easy to use and clean.

Basi­cal­ly, you place the halved cit­rus face down on the ream­er and low­er down the lever­aged met­al han­dle to press out the juice. It does employ a slow juice extrac­tion process; hence, juice extract­ed with the mechan­i­cal press is very tasty, has high nutri­tion­al val­ue, and long shelf life (up to 48 hours).

There are a large num­ber of mechan­i­cal cit­rus press­es avail­able on the mar­ket. The bad news, they are all made in Chi­na, no mat­ter they are dis­trib­uted by a rep­utable or short-lived com­pa­ny (the major­i­ty of them are). The good news, a few USA and Euro­pean dis­trib­ut­ing company’s ser­vice this type of juicer and sell the replace­ment parts.

Here we will review only brands that are ser­viced by rep­utable com­pa­nies that will stand behind the prod­uct and serve the war­ran­ty for them.

Extract Citrus Juice with Masticating or Centrifugal Juicer

You can extract orange and cit­rus fruit juice using a mas­ti­cat­ing or cen­trifu­gal type of juicer. The only prob­lem, you will have to peel the fruits for this pur­pose. The­o­ret­i­cal­ly, you can juice unpeeled limes and lemon since their rind is edi­ble. Still, the oranges, tan­ger­ine, and grape­fruit must be peeled because their skin con­tains the bit­ter oil that is not only unpleas­ant­ly test­ed but also con­tains chemicals.

So, to juice oranges and oth­er orange col­or cit­rus fruits, you will require to peel them, cut if need­ed, and extract the juice using a mas­ti­cat­ing or cen­trifu­gal juicer. The white pith con­tains a high lev­el of bioflavonoids, and this method brings not only the creami­er tex­ture but also the most nutri­tion­al val­ue and the best yield juice.

So peeled cit­rus fruits could be juiced with any mas­ti­cat­ing or cen­trifuge juicer. How­ev­er, the cen­trifu­gal juicer will deliv­er almost 20–30% less juice than the mas­ti­cat­ing type, and the qual­i­ty is also worse with them than with mas­ti­cat­ing machines because it will sep­a­rate into watery and pulpy parts. So the cen­trifu­gal juicer is not a very good option for juic­ing the citruses.

The twin gear juicer will per­fect­ly han­dle any cit­rus fruits, but they are the most expen­sive type of juicers and are known as ulti­mate leafy greens machines rather than soft fruits. So the twin gear juicers are also not the best option for extract­ing cit­rus juice.

So the best mas­ti­cat­ing machine for extract­ing cit­rus juice is the sin­gle auger juicers.

Vertical Single Auger Masticating Juicer with Citrus Attachment

The Ver­ti­cal Sin­gle auger juicers with a wide chute are the most effi­cient machine across the mas­ti­cat­ing juicers for extract­ing juice from the cit­rus fruits. They are not only the best to deal with the soft fruits, but they can be fed the whole orange with­out pre-cut­ting. Besides, the ver­ti­cal sin­gle auger machines are the most ver­sa­tile mas­ti­cat­ing juicer that can effec­tive­ly juice almost any ingredient.

How­ev­er, there are more good things about ver­ti­cal slow machines. Some Kuvings and Hurom ver­ti­cal juicers come with the cit­rus ream­er attach­ment. So, with such a machine, you can extract both types of orange juice – from the peeled orange with­out the pith and from the whole fruits with the pith that have more bioflavonoids and oth­er nutri­tion­al­ly valu­able ingredients.

Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer Elite C7000

The Kuvings C7000 Juicer (known as C9500 in Europe and oth­er coun­tries) was released in 2016 and upgrad­ed in 2018 (with a new gen­er­a­tion drum) and belongs to the 3rd gen­er­a­tion ver­ti­cal slow mas­ti­cat­ing juicers.

It is man­u­fac­tured by the Kuvings – a rep­utable com­pa­ny in South Kore­an com­pa­ny that pro­duces juicers and blenders and oper­ates since 1978. It actu­al­ly was an inven­tor of the first wide chute ver­ti­cal sin­gle auger mas­ti­cat­ing juicer, and lat­er, the tech­nol­o­gy was copied by oth­er manufactures.

The C7000 is designed with a duty cycle of 30 min­utes; after 30 min­utes, it should be allowed to rest before resum­ing operation.

Juic­ing Bowl, Hop­per, and Feed­ing Chute: The 13.5 oz./400ml juic­ing bowl is made of BPA-free clear plas­tic, which has at the bot­tom 4 inter­lock points, ensur­ing a more secure fit. The upgrad­ed 2018 juic­ing bowls come with­out the sil­i­con ring that makes it eas­i­er to clean eas­i­er and also pre­vents leak­ing when not assem­bled properly.

The machine also fea­tures a smart-look­ing juice out­let cap with a met­al top.

The Kuvings 7000/C9500 has a 3”/77mm feed chute that allow­ing less prepa­ra­tion for not very firm ingre­di­ents (for exam­ple, it will take small apple orange). While it still needs cut­ting beets in half or quar­ters and car­rots in half ver­ti­cal­ly and feeds them more grad­u­al­ly, oth­er­wise, the big­ger firm roots may strain the machine.

Gears/Auger: The Kuvings C7000 Juicer auger is made from BPA-free heavy-duty plas­tic and has the new com­pare to the pre­vi­ous 6000 mod­el design fea­tur­ing the hol­low bot­tom, which col­lects the excess of pulp pro­duce dur­ing juic­ing and pre­vents it from dis­turb­ing the juic­ing process. The new auger design is also designed to pro­duce less pulpy juice.

Juic­ing Screen: The Kuvings C7000/C9500 comes with a stan­dard juic­ing screen with stain­less steel mesh­es for pro­cess­ing all types of ingre­di­ents for juic­ing and a plas­tic blank screen for mak­ing frozen treats and puree­ing food.

It also comes with a typ­i­cal ver­ti­cal juicer BPA free plas­tic clean­ing brush with sil­i­con brushes.

Con­tain­ers: The juicer fea­tures the BPA-free Tri­tan copoly­ester juic­ing and pulp con­tain­ers. The 32 oz. capac­i­ty (with­out mea­sur­ing marks) juic­ing con­tain­er comes with BPA-free 5 Screen plas­tic strain­er for siev­ing the juice from the exces­sive pulp.

Func­tion­al­i­ty:

Kuvings C7000 is a ver­sa­tile machine and per­forms the fol­low­ing functions:

• Peeled oranges, grape­fruits, and oth­er cit­rus fruits;
• Soft fruit and veg­gies such as pineap­ple or cucumber;
• Cel­ery juice;
• Cit­rus juice;
• Leafy greens such as kale and oth­ers and includ­ing wheat­grass juice;
• Firm veg­gies like car­rots and beets;
• Frozen desserts;
• Food pro­cess­ing tasks such as smooth­ies, nut but­ter, and nut milk, baby food, purees, and sauce.

This machine allows us to extract orange and oth­er cit­rus juice in two ways – from peeled fruits when you feed the whole fruits into feed­ing chute for juices c extrac­tion and from unpeeled cit­ruses using the mount­ed on the motor base cit­rus ream­er attachment.

The set comes with a blank screen (not typ­i­cal for ver­ti­cal juicers), which is designed for frozen desserts, nut but­ter, and baby food.

You can also buy the smooth­ies screen sep­a­rate­ly for pro­cess­ing smooth­ies, soft­er fruits, and veggies.

Clean­ing and assembling/disassembling: The juicer is assem­bled the stan­dard way for a ver­ti­cal slow juicer. First, you set the juic­ing bowl, then the juic­ing screen with the scrap­per, fol­low­ing by the auger and chute with cover.

The machine is not eas­i­est but also not very dif­fi­cult to clean, which is typ­i­cal for the ver­ti­cal slow juicer. The juic­ing screen is the most labored part to clean. How­ev­er, the set comes with a set of 3 brush­es that do a great job.

Although some of the machine parts are top-rack dish­wash­ers, to extend the juicer’s life expectan­cy, it bet­ter to clean all the parts by hand.

Con­trols: The machine comes with one switch which has the OFF (neutral)/ On/Reverse functions.

War­ran­ty: The Kuvings C7000 juicer comes with 10 years lim­it­ed war­ran­ty and very help­ful cus­tomer ser­vice. The USA Kuvings sup­port is locat­ed in Chica­go, Illi­nois, and must be con­tact­ed direct­ly when need­ed: Tel 1–888-682‑5559, email: kuvingscare@nuc.co.kr.

Sum­ma­ry: The Kuvings C7000 is a pre­mi­um juicer with a wide chute that takes less time for food prepa­ra­tion. It deliv­ers excel­lent juice yield from peeled oranges and oth­er cit­rus fruits. It is very easy to use, very quick to process ingre­di­ents (the ver­ti­cal juicer is fastest among slow juicers) and han­dles the widest range of ingredients.

It has an option­al cit­rus ream­er attach­ment, so you can juice your oranges with­out peel­ing them. There are only a few machines on the mas­ti­cat­ing juicers mar­ket are avail­able with such a feature.

Although, it is not a ded­i­cat­ed cit­rus press juicer and need some preparation/peeling for juic­ing cit­rus fruits or extra cost if you decide to buy and cit­rus ream­er attach­ment and if you plan to juice not only the cit­rus fruits but a vari­ety of oth­er ingre­di­ents and want to process the high-qual­i­ty cold press juice with a long shelf life than this machine is worth to consider.

Summary

If you want a quick and easy way to extract the juice with­out peel­ing them, you have to go for the elec­tric ream­er or man­u­al cit­rus press. The juice from unpeeled cit­rus fruits will pulp-free and taste sweet with­out any bit­ter pith.

The Bre­ville 800CPXL Cit­rus Juicer is cer­tain­ly the best pre­mi­um elec­tric ream­er. It deliv­ers the high­est yield across all elec­tri­cal and cit­rus press ream­ers, well made and durable. There­fore, it is avail­able at a pre­mi­um price. The Tribest CS-1000 Cit­riS­tar is the best bud­get machine with a rea­son­ably high juices yield that approx­i­mate­ly 10% less than the Bre­ville 800CPXL machine. If you decide to go for an elec­tric cit­rus ream­er, then it is the best bud­get machine.

Sup­pose you decide to go for the man­u­al cit­rus press, which does not require elec­tric­i­ty and deliv­ers although the low­est juice yield across all juici­er styles but out­puts nice and sweet, pure juice with­out bit­ter pith. You have an option to select from pre­mi­um Focus Food­ser­vice 97336 Jupiter Juice Press or bud­get GMJ9970 Large Cit­rus Press.

If you pre­fer to extract juice from peeled cit­rus fruits, then you have to select a mas­ti­cat­ing juicer.

The juice from peeled fruits will be rich, creamy, and con­tains more nutri­ents than juice from unpeeled fruits sim­ply because the cit­rus fruit pith is a loca­tion with the high­est con­cen­tra­tion of the valu­able bioflavonoids.

Kuvings C7000 Juicer is the best mas­ti­cat­ing machine for juic­ing cit­rus fruits not only because it extracts one of the high­est juice yields across the mas­ti­cat­ing juicer, but also it has the cit­rus ream­er attach­ment avail­able to buy as an option­al acces­so­ry. The Kuvings C7000 juici­er is also a mul­ti­func­tion­al machine and han­dles a wide range of ingre­di­ents from the firm and soft fruit and veg­gies to leafy greens and wheat­grass. If you plan to juice not only cit­rus fruits but also var­i­ous oth­er ingre­di­ents, this machine is the obvi­ous choice.
