Dezeen Awards The patents filed around the turn of the 19th/20th century show a variety of different functional principles. They range from small models to be used at the table (with which individual lemon wedges can be squeezed out over a glass or dish) to mechanically complex equipment which is firmly attached to the kitchen table or counter with screw clamps. It is noteworthy that nearly all of these patents merely put pressure on the lemon or lemon half, without the fruit being rotated. The patents vary mainly in their different mechanisms how they create this pressure. Usually, leverage or screw presses were used. It is no longer possible to reconstruct how many of those patents were actually produced for the market. The sleek, exotic-looking shape was inspired by a calamari squid; the original drawings were sketched on a pizza-stained paper placemat. [7] [6]

A lemon squeezer is a small kitchen utensil designed to extract juice from lemons or other citrus fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, or lime. It is designed to separate and crush the pulp of the fruit in a way that is easy to operate. Lemon squeezers can be made from any solid, acid-resistant material, such as plastic, glass, metal (usually aluminium) or ceramic. To conclude this section. The Juicy Salif as an everyday fruit juicer is not functional. Its design is not genius in terms of usability. And at this point, it is clear that if you are after a juicer that actually juices your fruit, go with a conventional cheap juicer. It will work far better. But the device is not easy to use, and its polished aluminum finish is vulnerable to corrosion and producing an unpleasant taste, as conceded in its official instructions. [6] The kitchen tool is not dishwasher-safe, and must be washed by hand, while taking care to avoid injury from its sharp point.

Messy- There are complaints that the juicer is messy, and will end up with more juice on your counter than in the glass. I would say this is dependant on the fruit you choose to juice.

However, it does not perform. I will break down the problems with the usability of the juicer in sections. The oldest known lemon squeezers were found in Kütahya, Turkey and date to the first quarter of the 18th century. [1] These ceramic presses are in the traditional style of Turkish pottery of the 18th century and have a superficial resemblance to today's press equipment with cones, though they are designed differently. These examples were individually made, and specially designed for making the then popular citrus drink sorbet. Lemons are not native to northern Turkey, though during the 17th and 18th centuries they were imported in bulk to Constantinople. [1]
