Chef’n Lemondrop Citrus Juicer: We appreciated the built-in strainer, but the collection bin was far too small. This method is best when you need a small amount of juice, and you can then save the leftover lemon without as much risk of it drying out. Plus, it’s mess-free, with no need for knives, chopping boards, etc.

Eurolux Electric Citrus Juicer Squeezer: With suction cup feet that were meant to keep it in place, this lightweight juicer was annoying to move and performed only so-so. Its lever shifted with the rotation of the reamer and its pressure-activated reamer began spinning as soon we placed citrus on it. Like with the Gourmia, we found this jarring. Considering the domed-shaped design of a lemon squeezer, you might be putting the lemon into the container cut side up. But putting the lemon cut side down actually helps squeeze out more juice, even if it sounds counter-intuitive. What’s more, cutting a small piece of skin from the side of the fruit allows more air to pass through and push the juice out! How to Extract More Juice from a Lemon GET ALL JUICE FROM YOUR FRUIT】Monkkino lemon squeezer juicer is proven to get 30% more juice output than radiational juicers. The one-piece press head makes juice extraction easier to use, not easy to break, and the squeezing tooth pattern is more efficient. The multi-directional juice hole design at the bottom with a 2.76-inch diameter round bowl ensures to hold larger lemons and the juice is completely squeezed out. For deodorizing: such as in your sink disposal or your bin (place the peel minus the pith under your garbage bag in the bin).Compost them: while they take a while to break down, they ARE compostable. I recommend slicing them into tiny pieces first, though. Then, cut the lemon/s in half, place the center of each half over the reamer or the juicer, and press, squeeze and twist the lemon until all the juice is extracted.

Some manual juicers are tabletop versions that still automatically strain the seeds/pulp from the juice. Others, like the handheld “reamer” photographed, do not. When using the latter, you could place a strainer over the jug/bowl you’re juicing the lemons over. That way, you don’t need to strain it afterward . With a Fork or Spoon Joie Lemon and Lime Juicer and Reamer: Due to its very sharp edges and tip, it scraped a lot of the citrus pith and pulp, resulting in bitter juice and too much pulp. Because of this, it performed the worst, with just 34% lemon juice and 19% lime juice yields. Taste Tests: We sampled the juice procured from each method, including the control group, and ranked the bitterness, the floral or fragrant quality, and the overall taste of each juice on a scale of 1 to 10. While we don't think it could juice larger items like grapefruits, we were able to use it with medium oranges just fine. It's a versatile little device that is compact and won't take up too much room.ARK Reamer Lemon Sqeezer: This model was efficient at juice extraction but let a lot of pulp through into the catch bin. I like to use my reamer if a recipe calls for a small amount of citrus juice. However, I don't think I would ever use a reamer to make a large amount of juice!
