One of the those handy things that are must-haves on every kitchen is a lime juicer. There's really nothing fancy about this kitchen tool but it makes life a little simpler specially when you have a ton of citruses to juice on your kitchen.
A lime juicer comes in many varieties, you can choose a hand operated "squeezer" or a more high-tech electric-powered ones.
If juicing other fruits is out of your reach, a freshly squeezed lime juice can be an excellent source of vitamin c that can help strengthen your health against common diseases.
As mentioned there are many makes and models of lime juicers and we're going to review the popular ones so you know your best option for your kitchen.
Breville
Citrus Press is perhaps the best of its kind but this juicer doesn't
come cheap. Compared to other lime juicers, this citrus press is quite
pricey but once you try using it, you'd easily justify the price.
This lime juicer is made up of cast iron and is built to last. It looks great and classy and its performance will surely meet your expectations. Once you have this press, you won't even need any other lime juicer as it can handle most types of citrus fruits very well.
This lime juicer is great for almost all types of citruses. It's made up of solid and compact materials and it's very easy to use.
Tribest
Citristar features Auto Start/Stop, easy one-touch automated operation.
Has a stainless steel locking spout so your juice pours strait into
your glass while maintaining continuous operation.
It's also equipped with a universal ream that can accommodate all sizes of citruses, so you'll experience no issues with juicing multi-sized citruses and limes. You can juice large oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits.
This lime juicer operates quite similarly to the above reviewed Brevill Citrus Press but it isn't equipped with a "press cap" lever that presses the fruit on the grinder so you'll have to manually press your lime or citrus to squeeze your fresh juice.
CitrusMate
is excellent for non-everyday juicing or small capacity juicing
requirements. It is equipped with different cones for different fruit
sizes as well as a pulp control feature that sifts pulp away from your
juice. You can adjust the pulp control depending on your juicing
preferrence so you can opt for some pulp or no pulp at all on your
juice and it comes with a stirrer that presses more juice from the pulp.
It's a compact electric lime juicer but can prepare family-sized batches of juice with its 34 oz container.
Juice 'n Serve best fit people who are new to juicing or ones who only juice occassionally. Judging by the size, it's a small lime juicer with only 27 oz capacity. It's powered with a 150 watt motor for smooth and quiet operation and its reverse-action feature makes sure you get the most extraction out of your citruses.
For
the price of this juicer, we wouldn't expect it to last for many years
but it's equipped with a one year limited warranty which we believe is
isn't bad for its low price. In case it gives up within the one year
warranty period, please don't hesitate to contact support for
replacement!
One thing we like about this juicer is it's compact size and design, it wouldn't be able to extract a full family batch with one juicing, but you would be able to take it anywhere, so it's good to have one for picnics, camping or for business travel.
Before we miss to mention, Juice 'n Serve is also equipped with pulp and seed separator to make sure that there's no pulp or seeds landing on your juice. The pitcher is also equipped with a juice level indicator so you know when it's time to make some more juice.
CIT41106
is a classic citrus juicer sized at 4.7", it is entirely made up of
stainless steel, is equipped with a filter to strain seeds/pits, and a
spout on the base for easy pouring.
This juicer is a great manual tool for cooking, bar use, and juicing of course.
This juicer is made up of two mani parts, namely: the citrus juicer, and the basin.It's also easy to clean as it's dishwasher-safe.
This
stainless steel lime juicer is specially designed with long handles for
better leverage when squeezing citruses which gives you more juice at
minimum effort. As they say, you could squeeze every last
drop with this citrus press.
Norpo stainless steel citrus press is made beautifully from 18/10 stainless steel with an ideal weight and size and since it's made up fully with stainless steel, this little juicer is expected to last for quite awhile.
If
you're one who needs to prepare huge batches of lime or citrus juice
for the family or commercial use, Orange-X may be the right lime and
orange juicer for your kitchen.
Its ergonomic rubberized handle can withstand 2,300 pounds per square inch which makes it a great choice in squeezing most juices from citruses and limes.
Its heavy base gives you more leverage than ordinary manual lime juicers.
Not all parts are dishwasher-safe though, removable parts can be washed in a dishwasher but don't forget that you'll need to hand wash cone and funnel parts.
Speaking
of commercial quality citrus press, Hamilton Beach 932 is one of the
popular ones. Though it claims a slightly lower pounds of pressure at
only 2,000, this one has a slightly higher consumer rating than
Orange-X above.
One great thing about this juicer is it leaves behind in the strainer cone the pith, peel, oil, and pulp of the fruit you're pressing keeping your juice as pure and as smooth as possible. It's also equipped with a Sure Grip, non-skid base that ensures the juicer doesn't skid while you're pressing your juices, protecting the countertop and juicing as much fresh juice as possible with minimum effort on your part.
