My younger sister loves drinking juices and shakes. So we recently decided to get one. I looked into the market to understand how cold press juicers are better than anything else. In my experience so far, I’ve found that using a Cold Press juicer offers several benefits compared to centrifugal juicers. Not only do they yield more juice without creating foam, but they also leave the pulp drier. This makes it easier to clean and so better quality juice than we make at home normally. One thing I want to point out is that it takes longer to make juice in cold press juicer than centrifugal models, but I’ve also noticed that Cold Press juicers extract a greater amount of juice overall.
Kuvings B1700:
In my personal experience using the Kuvings B1700, I’ve found it to be a compact cold press juicer with an impressive design featuring a wide-mouthed feeder tube. I like this design because it makes it incredibly convenient to juice large fruits without the need for chopping. However, I would advise you to remove seeds from all fruits before inserting them into the juicer. I’ve noticed that when seeds get crushed with the pulp, it affects the taste of the juice.
While using it, I’ve found that the motor operates smoothly without any issues for a continuous period of up to half an hour, making it an ideal choice for meeting my daily juicing needs. Additionally, the stainless steel filter is good too. It prevents any pulp from passing through into the juicer during the extraction process.
Based on personal usage, I’ve found that this juicer excels at extracting juice from tough vegetables such as beetroot and carrots. Making sorbets and smoothies using this juicer shouldn’t pose any problems, although it’s important to note that you’ll need to buy the attachments for these separately.
For cleaning, the juicer’s cleaning tool features a rotating brush that efficiently cleans the filters. I’ve found that running the juicer with water afterward helps the fibers exit the appliance, simplifying the overall cleaning process based on our experience.
Hestia Nutri Max:
In my experience, this is a slow juicer, but has the capbility of extracting juice from nearly all types of vegetables and fruits, although it’s not the best choice for leafy greens. The wide-mouthed feeder is convenient for inserting larger chunks of fruits and vegetables.
While the product does have a weight of 7.5 kg, the efficient motor enables continuous operation for up to half an hour. It makes a lot of sound, but I’ve found that reducing it is possible by chopping the fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces before juicing, based on my own usage.
From my personal experience, assembling this appliance is a straightforward process, and what stands out is that it only starts operating when the assembly is correctly done. This feature is great as it helps prevent any potential damage to the product. Regarding its performance, the juicer is impressive. However, I’ve learned through use that it’s crucial to remove seeds from all fruits, particularly citrus fruits, as crushing the seeds with the pulp can impart a bitter taste to the juice.
Based on my personal experience, cleaning this juicer is a breeze due to its simple disassembly process. I’ve found that running the machine with water before cleaning helps to eliminate any remaining fruit and vegetable residues, particularly when cleaning the auger and jars under running water.
Unlike the Kuvings B1700, the Hestia product includes smoothie and sorbet filters in the original package. Additionally, it’s an excellent appliance for crushing nuts and creating nut milk. I’ve discovered that soaking the nuts in water overnight simplifies the process when using this device.
Agaro Imperial Slow Juicer:
Agaro shares many similarities in performance with both the Hestia Nutri Max and the Kuvings B1700. However, the best thing that I find about it is its comparatively lower price point, making it an appealing choice. One of its standout features is the large feeder tube, which is quite appealing as it enables the insertion of whole fruits such as apples. So chopping is not required. Nonetheless, for better output, I would always suggest slicing the fruits and ensuring the removal of seeds before juicing.
A standout feature of this juicer is its ability to produce better juice yield with drier pulp. Additionally, it comes with the innovative reverse function, which is noteworthy for its assistance in clearing fruit pieces stuck in the auger during juicing.
Compared to the other two models I’ve shared above, the Agaro excels in extracting juice from soft fruits. However, its overall performance isn’t as efficient due to the frequent issue of leafy vegetables getting stuck in the screws.
The disappointing thing about this model is that it doesn’t include a self-cleaning feature. The package does provide a special brush and a cleaning tool. I’ve found that running the machine with water for a few minutes is a helpful practice to dislodge any stuck fibers, making the overall cleaning process much easier.
Hometronics cold Press Juicer:
Hometronics is a newcomer to the juicers market. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this Slow juicer outperforms the models we previously reviewed. What stood out most was its ability to yield more juice while producing significantly drier pulp. Surprisingly, I found its juicing performance to exceed even that of the Kuvings B1700.
In my personal experience with this juicer, I’ve discovered that its exceptional ability to extract maximum juice is attributed to its incredibly slow rotational speed. Additionally, the inclusion of a Juicer strainer, Smoothie strainer, and sorbet strainer adds to its versatility. After testing this juicer extensively with various recipes such as ABC juice, Smoothies, and Green Juices, I found that reinserting the dry pulp into the juicer wasn’t necessary. It seemed unnecessary as there was no remaining juice left to extract from the pulp.
Cleaning this cold press juicer is a time-consuming task similar to most other cold press juicers. However, I’ve learned that investing time in the cleaning process is crucial if you aim to achieve the highest quality juice.
Final thoughts:
In my experience using cold press juicers, I’ve noticed that they excel in pulp extraction, yielding drier pulp. Furthermore, due to the absence of oxidation in the juicing process, the resulting juice retains higher nutritional value. This makes investing in a cold press juicer worthwhile.
However, creamy fruits like bananas and mangoes aren’t the best for juicing in a cold press juicer. Instead, making smoothies with mangoes is more suitable than extracting mango juice. Additionally, in cold press juicers, it’s advisable to refrain from using avocados, cherries, figs, and blueberries.

i want buy juicer but not know which one i only make orange juice and sometime carrot beet but cold press juicer so costly normal juicer also make juice right is it big difference or just little if i buy normal juicer will it waste too much juice or taste bad also i see some say cold press is healthy but how much difference it make i not drink juice everyday only sometimes so not know if i should spend too much money you tell which is best for simple juice.
If you’re only making orange juice and carrot-beet juice occasionally, then a normal centrifugal juicer should work fine. It’s faster and much cheaper, and it will still give you a good amount of juice. But cold press juicers extract more juice and retain more nutrients, so the difference is noticeable, especially in how fresh the juice stays.
For daily juice drinkers, cold press is a great investment because it reduces oxidation and keeps the juice tasting better for longer. But since you don’t drink juice every day, I’d say go for a good quality normal juicer you’ll still get tasty juice without spending too much.
