There are many types of electric juicers on the market. Most process fruit and vegetables with rapidly moving blades or pressers. Many types of fruits, vegetables, greens and herbs require the rough treatment but sometimes the result is juice that is oxidized from air added by fast-moving parts and nutrients “cooked” out of the juice by the heat of the process.

Fortunately, citrus fruits don’t need to be handled roughly. Good-tasting and nutritious juice is easily extracted from oranges, grapefruits, lemons and limes. A simple manual citrus juicer is all that’s needed.

Simplicity

To use a manual citrus juicer, simply cut the fruit in half and place the exposed fruit onto a form. The most basic type of manual citrus juicer is just the form surrounded by a place for the juice to flow until it arrives at a spout. The manual part is the hand that pushes and twists the fruit on the form to extract the juice. Many a grandma has extracted enough juice to fill a pitcher at one sitting.

This is still a great way to get juice from one or two pieces of fruit. The more elaborate form of manual citrus juicer uses a lever to lower a form-fitting cap to squeeze the fruit over the form. The lever is attached to a simple mechanism that magnifies the pressure applied by the user, making the task easier and more efficient. Most are raised on a stand high enough to accommodate a glass or pitcher beneath the spout, while others have the squeezer form fitted on a juice container.

The ease of the modern manual citrus juicer makes a full pitcher of fresh juice a painless experience. Most well-equipped bars include a manual citrus juicer to process fresh fruit juice on demand. While this type of juicer has been around in principle for generations, today’s version incorporates modern technology in their form and function.

Cutting-edge materials ensure fast and easy clean up for a germ resistant presentation every time. The sturdy base can take the pressure without slipping or tipping. For the fans of fresh citrus juice, some manual citrus juicer models are made to look good on the kitchen counter, whether in colors to match the counter or in stainless steel.

For occasional use, some models are made to fit into a cabinet without taking up too much space. The best thing about a manual citrus juicer is that it doesn’t need to be used near an electrical outlet because it works on people power.
