The Great Centrifugal v Masticating Juicer Debate
The juiceproducer's common sense word.

Right ya'll here is something that we hear a lot about about, the eternal debate about centrifugal juicers over masticating juicers, let me tell you, they are both good and both have their place. True the masticator is better at preserving nutrients and we do try to get people into using them but make no mistake a decent centrifugal is still a good starting point in juicer ownership.
Centrifugal juicers get slated but we see a place for them for sure, for one they give a clean juice which is a lot easier to feed to kids, and they are a whole heap better than no juice or juice made from concentrate!!! Also if you are new to juicing you can try it with a centrifugal juicer for 50 odd quid or so, a great juicy starting point! The negatives are mainly that they are tricky to clean and do make a juice that goes off pretty quick, so it's a case of juice and drink, juice and drink. If you are fussy about bits in your juice, or want your kids to drink fresh juice, then a decent centrifugal juicer like the L'equip mini is the way to go!
juicy hint: If you want the double benefit of a cold pressed juice that is bit free, then just simply pour the juice through a flour sieve!! |
| Masticating juicers are better at preserving nutrients as they turn slowly and squash the juice out of your fresh produce, this is what we recommend as it's better for you, but bear in mind the juice will be "live" ie somewhat bitty, so your kids may not dig it! If you are juicing for health benefits a masticating style juicer is the type for you. It's the essential piece of health kit for getting super powered green juices into your system, it will be flexible and juice pretty much anything you throw at it, will be quiet and never go blunt, block up or otherwise slow down your juicing!! If we had the choice we'd go masticating juicers every time! |

If you want to juice wheatgrass and other such fine leafy greens then you really do need a masticating juicer, if you are a wheatgrass retreat or therapist then a twin gear is the way to go as these really are specialist wheatgrass juicing machines. For all round domestic juicing we recommend a matstone or oscar vitalmax. If you want jooce on the move we recommend innocent drinks! we love em! (their drinks that is) |
Right thats what we think, it's a case of keeping it real and taking a "real life" take on things we'd much rather see a centrifugal juicer in your house working away than nothing at all!! If you need any advice do email us or give us a call on the local rate number below
