Juicing is one of those things that has always caught my interest. For myself, the allure was the ability to get all the good stuff into the body in one drink {I am so terrible otherwise}, and for the tremendous health benefits of slow pressing.
There are powerful antioxidants in fruits and veggies that help prevent cancer, strengthen your immune system, and boosts anti-aging effects. As well, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes from fruits and veggies have preventative effects. The best way to get these super nutrients and natural taste is with a fresh cup of juice from a slow pressing-masticating juicer.
The first thing I learned about juicing is how essential it is to get ‘the right juicer’ for the job. Know this: all are not created equal. In fact, some brands have jumped on the ‘craze’ and developed juicers that don’t do the job as intended, leaving consumers that saw a frugal price – with nothing more than a grinder or blender.
I have taken notes for quite some time on the best juicers on the market, even going so far as to note why they were highly recommended {and yes, they do come at a cost}. Keep in mind, I have always said that it’s the bang for the buck that matters, and I don’t mind spending more on a quality item that is awesome in every way intended. Or else, you’re just wasting that hard-earned money in the end.
So, when Juicepresso contacted me to review their NEW to the Canadian market, cold-pressed juicer – I did some research before accepting. In order to recommend a juicer to my audience, I had to be sure that it was one of the ‘right ones’, not only for myself but I want the best for my readers as well!
Well my friends, Juicepresso is one juicer that very much deserves to be on your radar.
The Juicepresso by Coway is very simple to assemble and operate. Newbies like myself will appreciate the supplied and detailed instructions on use, cleaning, recipes and more. After only a few minutes looking over the information, I was juicing.
Om the suggestion of a dear friend, I got out some carrots, apples, spinach, cucumber and a small piece of ginger. Recommended foods for juicing is a whole other post in itself, yet I very much suggest that anyone take the time to know which foods you should and should not be juicing. I love this post that lists the Un-Juicables.
Not taking up much space on the counter {some juicers are gigantic!}, the Juicepresso slow presses with a 40-rpm motor. When using Juicepresso, alternate the foods between textures so they work together in the juicer. As in, don’t shove all of one food in there, alternate until done.
The gently squeezed result is masticated food right down to the last drop of juice, so that the drink contains all the enzymes and nutrients possible. Yet, you could go farther and make more than juice. With Juicepresso you are able to make soups, pancakes, almond milk, organic baby food, etc. You can collect some great recipes on the Juicepresso site too.
Juicepresso has a patented one-piece extraction system, a three-in-one extractor system which merges the auger, strainer and rotating brush components.
The components are dishwasher safe and easy to clean, thanks to the included small cleaning brush. I also love that it’s very quiet, another key feature of the Juicepresso. It’s even quieter than my single serve coffee maker.
If you or someone you know would like a juicer for Christmas, it’s a great time to get one and a great way to start those healthy changes. I am very much impressed with my Juicepresso in many ways, and would recommend it to anyone. In Canada, you can get your Juicepresso at Sears.

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
12/13/2014 at 9:05 amI have been wishing for a juicer for a while now. That sounds like a REALLY nice one!
Tammi says
12/13/2014 at 12:39 pmI really love it, just had my glass actually! Mmm!
Ellen Christian says
12/13/2014 at 9:46 amI absolutely LOVE juicing! You should really try adding a small beet next time. So good!
Tammi says
12/13/2014 at 12:38 pmI’ve heard of that but I hate beets. Yet, this might be the only way I eat them. I’ll try it!
Holly says
12/13/2014 at 5:14 pmYou won’t even taste it! That’s what I love about juicing. It’s a great way to include veggies in your diets that you wouldn’t normally eat. 🙂

12/13/2014 at 10:06 amI’ve been interested in juicing for a long time, too, but have avoided it thus far for the same reason you stated – that quality of equipment does matter, and I’m on a shoestring budget. Good do know about this one! Thank you for sharing.
Cinny says
12/13/2014 at 10:32 amI love how the juice comes out one end and the pulp and fiber the other end!
Sarah says
12/13/2014 at 10:33 amOh how I love juicing! I like how compact this juicer is for those of us who never have enough counter space — mine is enormous. :/
Dawn Lopez says
12/13/2014 at 1:38 pmOoh Juicepresso sounds awesome! I love the idea of juicing, but haven’t whipped mine out in over a year. I didn’t like it very much and found it hard to clean. This one sounds awesome, I will have to ask Santa for one 😉
Ali P says
12/13/2014 at 1:42 pmHave wanted to try out a juice for a long time now!
Athena says
12/13/2014 at 2:00 pmThis sounds like a great product to try. I’ve been toying with the idea of juicing.
Shauna says
12/13/2014 at 4:45 pmThis is just awesome. My niece has been asking for a juicer and will totally be checking it out for her. Thanks so much for sharing.
Holly says
12/13/2014 at 5:15 pmWhat I love about this is it isn’t HUGE. I have little counter space, so my juicer has to stay on top of the fridge, which is a bit inconvenient. May have to trade mine in for this one.
Mama to 5 BLessings says
12/13/2014 at 5:42 pmThat looks great! I have been wanting a juicer for awhile but never knew what brand or where to start with – thank you for sharing!
Jennifer says
12/13/2014 at 6:21 pmThis is one sweet juicer! I’ve got to check this out. Mike and I juice like fiends.
AImee Smith says
12/13/2014 at 9:38 pmI have been wanting to try juicing for a while now. This looks like a great machine.
valmg @ From Val's Kitchen says
12/13/2014 at 11:45 pmThat sounds like a nice juicer! Especially i it’s easy to clean and use, unlike the ones that requite a college degree to operate.
Tammilee Tips says
12/13/2014 at 11:52 pmI have always been interested in juicing but it has always seemed like so much work. I love how easy and quick this sounds!
Lori JB says
12/14/2014 at 7:02 amThis looks great. I have a large juicer that is noisy and extremely messing. I can’t remember the last time I used it because it is such a hassle to use!
Nicole g says
12/14/2014 at 7:41 amNever heard about this one before I’ve been looking for one. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
Soozle says
12/14/2014 at 9:17 amSounds like a great juicer! I have been thinking to get into juicing myself in order to get more greens into my diet… but haven’t quite gotten there yet 🙂
Debi says
12/14/2014 at 11:12 amMy son has been asking for a juicer.I have no idea about them. I’ll have to check this one out.

12/14/2014 at 12:44 pmVery healthy drink options with this beauty.
kathy downey says
12/14/2014 at 6:16 pmwow,this sounds like a nice juicer
Teresa Claire says
12/14/2014 at 8:42 pmThis review really caught my eye. In my quest to eat healthier this fits right in with that plan. I like that they have a website that includes recipes.
Danielle says
12/14/2014 at 8:58 pmI absolutely love fresh pressed juice. There are so many combinations that can make fabulous tasting juices. But the machine makes all the difference!
loriag says
12/14/2014 at 9:08 pmWhat a great juicer. I wold love to have it and begin juicing.
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
12/14/2014 at 9:26 pmthis sounds like a great little machine. I don’t have a juicer but have been contemplating buying one but they are all so big and I don’t have much storage room in my kitchen, this seems to be a much better size for me. I didn’t even know there was a difference using slow juicing, sounds like this produces a much healthier drink.
nicolthepickle says
12/15/2014 at 9:18 amI loved juiced fruits and veggies. I borrowed my moms juicer and I liked it so much, but I don’t have my own.
jan says
12/15/2014 at 10:30 amyou are so right that you would just be wasting your money if the item you purchase is cheaper, but doesn’t do what you want or just plain sucks. I made this mistake a couple of years back with a food chopper that now just sits hidden in the basement.
Erika Belanger says
12/15/2014 at 11:26 pmWow this is awesome, I want one!! I better add this to the Christmas list! I do want to eat healthier in the new year!!
