Comparing juicers

Philips HR1861

Coway JP-11

I have used a Philips hr1861 juicer since January.  It has been a true friend to the Juicebrothers. Now my appetite for juice has grown wider.  What about wheatgrass and berries? You cannot put them in a centrifugal juicer.  So I got an additional juicer Coway JP-11.

With a centrifugal juicer you can juice anything hard as apples, cabbage, beets, carrots, broccoli, orange, lemon, bellypeppers.  It's fast so you can juice a lot.  Most of the stuff you'd like to juice is alright for the centrifugal juicer. The downside is that wheatgrass is impossible and berries don't give you a lot of juice.

With the slow juicer you can do excellent wheatgrass juice and with the cranberries and lingonberries I juiced the result was fantastic.  The pulp that was leftover was extremely dry and the juice delicious.  The pulps from apple and carrot juice was a bit wet indicating lower efficience in the extracting.  The juice itself was delicious but it too long time.  I am so used to get fast juice with the centrifugal juicer that this was too slow for the Juicebrother.

Lingonberry juice

With oranges I'm not done yet. I'm waiting for the season to start.

Very dry pulp

Wheatgrass juice

The highlight of todays juicing was cabbage and sellery in the Philips and lingonberries in the Coway and finally mixing the two juices. WAU!!!

Bon appetit!

Ingredients for a supergreen juice

Jocke suggested that we each wednesday drink a lot of juice.  Those who really go for it, only drink juice instead of eating.  The Juice Brothers is Jocke's and mine project to promote a rawer lifestyle and having fun doing it.  Juicing is a fast and easy way of getting more valuable nutrients, anti oxidants, minerals and anything you can imaging into your system as effectivly as possible.  Upto now I haven't had a good wheatgrass juicer so there hasn't been any supergreen juices in my life.  Yeasterday I bought one, Coway Juicepresso.
In the afternoon I went to the Hakaniemen halli and bought 1 kg of wheatgrass and 1 kg of mangold.  Really green stuff.  The wheatgrass extracted excellently and tomorrow I will try the mangold.  I had more than 1 dl of wheatgrass juice in one gulp.  Terrific taste but perhaps a little too much to start with. This is strong stuff!  I also juiced fresh lingonberries.  That was fantastic, finally I can consumate lingonberries by the litres.  The pulp of the berries was extremely dry.  You can't achieve that with a centrifugal juicer.

May the juice be with you!
