Juice Extractors & Citrus Presses

A press uses a rotating cone to squeeze oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, doing one job extremely well. Extractors shred harder produce against a spinning sieve, separating liquid from pulp, which lets them handle apples, carrots, beetroot, and celery as easily as fruit.

For citrus alone, a dedicated press wastes less and cleans faster. Gastroback Home Culture starts under pressure from the fruit itself and stops when you lift it, and the Kenwood JE290 offers the same simplicity. Either handles a morning jug in a couple of minutes.

Power keeps rotation steady when dense produce hits the sieve, which is precisely when cheaper machines stall and leave juice in the pulp. Electronic control also holds speed consistently. The unit runs notably quietly for its output, a real consideration in an open-plan kitchen.

A wide chute swallows whole apples without pre-cutting, which removes the step most people find tedious. Design Multi Juicer Digital takes 84 mm and Vital Juicer Pro 75 mm. Narrower openings demand chopping first, adding several minutes to what should be a quick routine.

The sieve does the cutting and filtering, so its edges blunt over time on ordinary steel. A titanium coating hardens those surfaces, holding sharpness and extraction efficiency across years of use. Stainless construction also resists the acidity that citrus and berries bring to every session.

Magimix Juice Expert 3 combines juicing with additional food preparation, which appeals when worktop space is limited or storage is tight. Owners who juice daily often prefer a dedicated unit for speed of assembly. Consider how often each function would realistically be used.

Expect roughly 400 to 500 ml, varying with variety, ripeness, and the machine itself. A press extracts more from citrus than a centrifugal extractor, which is designed for versatility instead. Local winter oranges tend to yield generously compared with imported fruit.

Rinse every part immediately, before pulp dries and hardens onto the sieve. A stiff brush clears the mesh in seconds when it is still wet. Pulp containers on several models here are dishwasher safe, and the Home Culture press folds its spout up to stop drips.

Vitamin C degrades on contact with air, so drinking within twenty minutes preserves most of it. Fibre remains in the discarded pulp, meaning juice complements a diet rather than replacing whole fruit. Lower-speed extraction introduces less heat and froth, which slows the oxidation slightly.

Centrifugal extractors manage spinach or kale only when leaves are bundled tightly and fed with softer produce. Yields stay modest, because this design suits firm fruit and root vegetables. Anyone juicing greens daily would be better served by a dedicated slow masticating machine.

Three manufacturers appear across the selection: Gastroback with three models spanning presses through professional extraction, Magimix with its multifunction Juice Expert 3, and Kenwood with the JE290 citrus press. Hadjikyriakos is the authorised Cyprus distributor for Gastroback and Magimix.

Every machine carries its full manufacturer guarantee valid throughout Cyprus, with authorised technicians handling any repair using genuine parts. Motors and sieves are usually treated under separate terms, so ask about the specific model, since cover varies between the brands represented here.

Well-maintained machines run for many years, and failures normally trace to sieves rather than motors. Replacement filters are available for the models stocked, so a blunt sieve need not end an appliance’s life. Rinsing promptly after every session extends service life considerably.

Hadjikyriakos showrooms in Nicosia, Limassol, and Paphos keep small appliances on display, and the online store carries the same range with fast and free island-wide delivery. Established 1886, our advisers match machine to habit rather than pushing the most powerful option.
