Reddit mentions: The best manual juicers

Generally, you don't want to buy a set (this applies to most consumer goods) as they usually are compiled of subpar or superfluous items, aimed for the uninformed beginner who just want to get started, but instead pick good stuff yourself.

• I'd say buy a shaker from one of the places mentioned here - buy a 'Tin on Tin' Boston shaker. Cobbler shakers need to be kinda expensive before they're good, while Boston shakers are great, even if the machining isn't ultra precise. They are also simpler to work with and clean.
  
  
• Downside is that you are going to need a strainer for a boston shaker as well. The one I see recommended the most is the OXO Hawthorne strainer (Link) - which I own as well, it's great and cheap. Most other hawthorne strainers are fine too, as long as they are big enough to cover the shaker, and won't fall in.
  
  
• If he doesn't have one already, I would also get him a fine strainer. This one you can buy from any kitchenware store / amazon, and it doesn't need to be fancy.
  
  
• He will probably also need a measuring device. If he likes showmanship, get him some jiggers from one of the cocktail sites, or if he's more practical, get an OXO Clear measuring cup (Link). I would reccomend the latter to any home bartender. For a compromise between the two, there's also the slightly fancier steel measuring cup (Link) or the OXO Stainless double jigger (Link).
  
  
• Finally, I'd also recommend some kind of juicer, as most drinks contain some kind of acid, usually citrus. Personally, I like the Chef'n'FreshForce Citrus Juicer (Link), but others are available.
  
  With a Shaker, a Strainer, (a Fine Strainer), (a Juicer), and a Jigger, you can make pretty much any shaken drink. If you want, you can look into a muddler as well. I'd recommend staying away from buying anything expensive. Best deal is buying a french rolling pin and chopping it into two muddlers (Link).

  Even though shaken drinks are the majority, most of my favourites are still stirred drinks. If you want you can splurge on a mixing glass from one of the cocktail sites which are pretty but really expensive, or you can check IKEA. Their VARDAGEN or BENUNGE cups are pretty perfect for this (Link). He'll also need a cocktail spoon for stirring. Either buy one from the cocktail sites (Avoid those with the red tip), or find a neat pair of chopsticks. The chopsticks are untraditional, especially in the west, but are functionally as good or better as a spoon for most use cases.

  Apart from gear to make cocktails, one thing which is always nice to get, is glasses for serving them in. I don't know if this applies to your dad, but some fancy stemmed glasses are always cool to get.
  
  
  
  If you're in Europe, check out Cocktailkingdom.co.uk or Cocktailian.de. Otherwise, Amazon is great (remember to check .co.uk and .de for better deals). I bought my shaker and cocktail spoon from Homestia.com, and am happy with them; good quality, great price, and arrived in a fancy box. The only downside is that I think they ship from China, so it might not arrive prior to christmas.

All right here goes. I adapted the oil recipe from an old post on /r/treedibles by a guy who claimed to be a biochemistry student. I had it saved but it looks like it may have been deleted because I can't find it anymore.

Anyhoozle...

Ingredients:

• Coconut oil: You can look around on the internet for reasons that coconut oil is preferred, but basically it comes down to it being almost 100% saturated fat, which is the best for cannabinoid absorption.
  
• Cannabis: You can really use whatever form you want. The batch I had the best success with was 1oz of trim/shake and ~1/4oz of AVB. I like trim and shake because it's cheaper and it came pre-ground, so it meant less grinding for me. Note that this was before the closing of SR, so whatever you can get will work just as well. Also, keep in mind that trim/shake and AVB aren't nearly as potent as nugs. If you're using whole nugs, you'll have to break them up or grind them before you start.
  
  I used just enough coconut oil to cover the AVB/trim mixture, with about 1/2cm extra oil on top. If I remember correctly it came out to somewhere between 1.25-1.5 cups. My suggestion is to add just enough to cover your cannabis, then round up to the easiest fraction for baking (i.e. if you add a little less than a full cup of oil, add the rest of the cup so it's easier to make the brownies.)
  
  
• Optional-Soy lecithin: Soy lecithin is an emulsifier that improves both the extraction process and your bodies absorption after consumption. Not totally necessary. I've never made it without it, but supposedly it makes a marked difference in potency. I've seen some sources claiming soy lecithin may have adverse effects on heart health; if you're really concerned, do some research and make the decision for yourself.
  
  
  Tools:
  
  
• Coffee grinder and a small brush: You want to get the decarboxylated cannabis as finely ground as possible. The coffee grinder is perfect because it'll get it really nice and fine, and you can use the small brush to get all the stuff left behind. I had a friend try to use a food processor because he was doing a big batch, and although it got it pretty fine it was a bitch and a half to get all the stuff left behind.
  
• Crock pot: Crock pots will give you low, consistent heat, which is what you want. If you don't have a crock pot, you can use an oven set at 200°F. Note that consumer ovens can be inconsistent temperature-wise, so I recommend the crock pot. Plus, crock pot food is fucking amazing, so it's a win-win.
  
• Oven/freezer safe dish: I used a souffle dish, but you can also use an egg dish. Theoretically you can just put the oil straight into the crock pot, but I wouldn't advise that unless you are making some serious bulk. It'd be a pain to get all of the oil out of there every time you have to freeze it and at the end.
  
• Sheet pan and aluminum foil: This is for decarboxylation. There are about as many different methods for this as there are strains of cannabis, so if you have a method you prefer that you have had success with, you can try that if you wish. In any case, decarboxylation can produce quite the aroma. Sometimes you can just cover it up with an air freshener/smoke eliminator spray or by cooking another especially aromatic food at the same time (like sauerkraut). Some people have had success in containing the smell by placing the cannabis in a lightly sealed mason jar when you bake it. I've done this once before when making a tincture, but I was doing it with a very small amount (~1/8th) of cannabis, and I can't really attest to its effectiveness.
  
  Steps:
  1. Decarboxylation
  
  Note: If you're using AVB, you can skip this step. The vaping process took care of it for you, albeit at a loss of potency.
  
  A lot of people don't decarb before making oil, thinking that the heat from cooking the oil will accomplish the same thing, but that is not the case. When you are decarboxylating, you are converting THCa to THC. THCa is found in much larger portions in raw cannabis, and is far less psychoactive than THC. That's why eating straight nugs won't accomplish anything unless you eat a huge amount. When you decarb, you are converting the carboxyl (COOH) group on THCa into carbon dioxide and water, which are released into the air. That's why sometimes you'll see decarbing referred to as "drying," although that's not quite accurate. Carboxyl groups are released at a much lower rate in the oil, so you won't get the most out of your oil unless you decarboxylate beforehand.
  
  First, preheat the oven to 225°F. If you're using whole nugs, either break them into smaller pieces or grind them in your grinder. Spread the cannabis evenly in your oven-safe dish, cover it with foil, and put it on the sheet pan for ease of removal. Put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool for ten minutes or so.
  
  2. Grinding
  Take your time with this step. The finer the consistency, the more effectively the THC will be absorbed by the oil. Be prepared, there will be powder in every nook and cranny in your coffee grinder. Take your time and get all of that powder out with the brush. There's no reason to waste cannabis because you're too lazy to get it all out. My ground cannabis was kind of clumpy, but the clumps will dissolve when you put it in the oil.
  
  3. Adding the Oil
  After getting the powder into your oven-safe dish, it's time to add the oil. As I said before, you just have to add enough oil to cover all of the powder with at least 1/2 cm extra. If you want to add a lot more, that's fine, you'll have to eat more of the finished product. If you're using the lecithin, the ratio is about 3/4 tsp lecithin for every 1 tbsp of oil (1 cup=16 tbsp).
  
  4. Cooking
  Now comes the long part. Put the dish in your crockpot on low (or the oven) for 3 hours. Keep in mind that crockpots and ovens take a little while to get up to temperature, so I recommend you turn them on while you're grinding. Keep the lid on your crock pot or, if you're using the oven, keep the door closed the whole time. Every time you open the lid/door you're letting heat escape and cooling down your oil, which will affect the efficiency of the extraction.
  
  After the 3 hours is up, take your dish out and let it cool for 30 minutes or so. Wrap/cover in foil, then put it in the freezer for 2+ hours (I did it overnight just for convenience). The foil isn't entirely necessary, but it helps if you spill any to keep you from losing it.
  
  Not many recipes include freezing. I'll try to explain what it does based on what I can remember from the other guy's explanation.
  
  Picture the cannabis plant cells in the oil. Inside of these cells are all the cannabinoids that we want. When you freeze the oil, the liquid inside the cells forms crystals that pierce the cell walls and release the cannabinoids into the oil, further increasing the potency of your final product.
  
  After your 2+ hours are up, take the oil out of the freezer and let it reach room temperature. I remember the recipe said it would take around 15 minutes, but I found it took a little longer. If you want, you can put it in the crock pot before you turn it on and let them both come to temperature at the same time, after roughly 25-30 minutes.
  
  Cook the oil in the crock pot another 3 hours, starting the countdown after the oil has liquified again. The recipe ended here, but I found that my oil didn't quite look as dark as promised. If you want, you can do what I did and repeat the freezing/cooking process 1-2 more times. It can't hurt. When it's done, it should be black. Like blaaaack. Like you just struck oil in your kitchen. I'll update with a picture of mine once I get on my phone again.
  
  5. Straining
  This is the bitch part. I still haven't found a method anywhere that works as well as promised. I usually just use coffee filters and strain it into an old mason jar or salsa jar. Unfortunately if you just wait for all of the oil to strain out you'll either be waiting for a long time or leaving oil behind in the plant matter. One thing I tried that worked pretty well was using one of those lime/lemon juicers (like this) and putting the balled up filter inside. Whatever way you do it, just try and get as much out as possible.
  
  And that's it for the oil recipe. Now, for the brownie recipe, I used this. They were ridiculously delicious. I used a slightly different baking pan, but it came out to about 2 batches from the recipe. With the 1 oz of shake/trim + the ~1/4 oz of AVB, it takes maybe a 1.5"x1.5" piece to get me to a good spot. They are poooootent. I actually kind of wish they were less potent because the brownies taste so good.
  
  And that's it. Let me know if you have any questions or if I missed anything (which is very likely.)

Most classic cocktails follow a fairly simple recipe - about 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of spirit, and about 3/4 ounce each of sweet (i.e. simple syrup or Coke or pineapple juice) and acidic (lemon juice, lime juice).

I don't think I've ever seen grape juice used in a cocktail, that's going to be very punch-like. As for grenadine, I assume you mean the very cheap, bright red stuff that restaurants put in Sprite for kids -- my advice is to pour it down the drain. It's basically colored corn syrup.
Now a real grenadine, like Luxardo, that stuff is great.

As for mixers, I suggest picking up some ginger ale, or even better some ginger beer (like ginger ale but much stronger ginger flavor) - ginger mixes really well with pretty much anything, just add citrus. vodka+ginger beer+lime= Moscow Mule. rum+ginger beer+lime= Dark and Stormy bourbon+ginger beer+lime= Kentucky Mule (all of which are very popular cocktails)

I strongly suggest using fresh lime, not the concentrated-grocery-store-bottled kind. Something like this will make juicing MUCH easier:

http://amzn.com/B00KH9PZB8

Also, you can make simple syrup (boil equal parts sugar and water - let cool, then store in a clean container in the fridge, stays good for at least 3 or 4 weeks. And if you add a little vodka to it it will last even longer.

As for some of those very flavored alcohols you have, honestly, your best bet is to go to the website for each of those spirits and get recipes there. Something like 'pumpkin spice kahulha' or "strawberry mash" are very specialty things and wouldn't be used in any sort of classic cocktail.

Last thing, keep some Sprite on hand - I've had more than a few fail;ed experiments where I had to give up and just add a good amount of Sprite to make it drinkable (not ideal, but beats throwing away a drink that just isn't working)

TESTING NOTES


**


WINNER - Electric

Rated as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:


Black & Decker Citrus Juicer - $19.99

> With no effort, lemons were completely squeezed of all their juice. As you pressed gently, the reamer rotated in both directions to clean out the fruit half, and an adjustable pulp screen kept out seeds and let you adjust the pulp level of the juice with a simple switch. Great for bigger jobs when you want a lot of juice, but easy enough to use for just one lemon. Simple to assemble and clean.

WINNER - Manual
Rated as RECOMMENDED:

AMCO Houseworks Enameled Lemon Squeezer, model 06-0354 - $11.95

> Surprisingly easy to use—juice gushes out. Of the squeeze-style juice presses we tested, this was the most comfortable and effective, with curved handles and a well-shaped plunger. Squeezing the rounded handles didn’t hurt our hands like others of this style, and seeds were contained. It was also attractive, sporting a bright yellow finish, but hand-washing is best if you want to keep the paint from chipping. (We tested the paint and found it lead-free.)

Also rated as RECOMMENDED:

• OXO Good Grips Citrus Juicer, model 34781 - $12.99
  
  > Nice and easy, this juicer removed all trace of juice in each lemon half with its sharp-edged, open-sided reamer. Seeds stayed out of the juice in the collection cup, which was easy to pour. Sturdily constructed. Has many parts, including a larger reamer that’s inverted beneath the lemon reamer and hangs into the collection cup, making it harder to clean than other manual juicers.

You'll likely notice that round these parts we don't usually describe rum as white, amber, or dark, since within those colors is a huge range of styles and flavors. We mostly call them out by brand. But that said...

The biggest improvements you can make in your rum cocktails is not the rum, it's the other stuff. Most blue curacao is pretty bad (it's just blue food color in cheap spirits), so use that up and then get some Pierre Ferrand's Dry Curacao. If you want, you can add the blue food color yourself! I'm going to guess the grenadine is Rose's. Rose's is just colored sugar water that never got anywhere near a pomegranate. You can either buy a good brand like Small Hand Food, or you can make your own. My fave recipe is:

• 2 cups POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice
  
• 2 cups natural sugar (although the white stuff will do)
  
• 2 oz pomegranate molasses (you can get it on Amazon)
  
• 1 tsp orange blossom water (or your triple sec if you're in a pinch)
  
  Heat juice slightly, just enough to allow other ingredients to dissolve easily. Stir in remaining ingredients, allow to cool, and bottle. Keep in the fridge.
  
  Lemon and lime juice should be fresh squeezed - no bottles or plastic lemons from the grocery store. This is the best hand juicer I've ever used and it's worth the $20: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XOG4B0
  
  whew! Finally, now that we've got all the good stuff, does your Lady friend like her drinks sweeter or more tart? Mellow or spirit forward?

It depends on your juicing volume. We use a Sunkist J1 Commercial Electric Juicer but we juice a lot; 4 bars, dining room, 3 meals/day in a hotel. The Breville CPXL is an alternative for 1/3rd the cost; though I don't have any first-hand knowledge as to longevity. If you're squeezing grapefruits and oranges, you'll want a manual press at the very least. The Hamilton Beach 932 is the industry standard but other much less expensive options exist. The 932 is faster and easier to use but may wear out faster due to its gearsets, requiring replacement parts. Considering the minimal cost, it is imperative that you keep a hand press or two around in case your primary juicer commits harakiri. Norpro and Amco both make excellent units. For less than the cost of the Norpro, you can get both Amco's orange and lemon/lime presses.

We juice daily. We also have a centrifugal juicer for pineapple and other harder fruits/vegetables. We mix 1 part fresh pineapple juice with 3 parts canned, unsweetened, not-from-concentrate pineapple juice. Except for the fancy bars primarily, few have switched to fresh pineapple juice. The good canned stuff is generally perfectly fine.

~Good luck!

A Citrus press for around $320 at the time. Use it mostly for making cocktails, but fresh squeezed lemonade is also great. It works pretty well but I wish the build quality was a bit higher for the price, and when you just want one limes worth of juice it is a hassle to clean the whole thing.

It's this one on Amazon.com.

Oh and video games, Have over 400 games on Steam now(lots gathered through bundles) but for the time playing I think it is justified. If you include everything from Early consoles to now it gets out of hand.

I don't know if the budget is big enough for a steam juicer (you can get a basic model for about $100) but he might love one if he makes jelly.

A nicer set of utensils could be a winner - I love my set from Progressive. The funnel works for regular or wide mouth jars, the lifting clamp is nicely padded, and the magnetic stick has a comfortable to hold loop.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007QT4H7A/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449074675&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=progressive+canning+tools&dpPl=1&dpID=41p8pPQk4fL&ref=plSrch

More jars might be good but new lids are always useful and they make plastic screw on caps you can use after the seal on a jar is broken and you are storing it in the refrigerator. Does he use pectin, or lemon juice a lot? Consumables are what I'm getting at.

Cocktail Kingdom is good but the quality for many pieces seems to have dropped off (e.g. broken jigger, Koriko tins and mixing glasses) That being said almost everything I use everyday is from them.

Uber has some quality products and also offers sets. Reviews say that the quality varies in the sets, but the spoon and muddler I use work well. I believe they are based in Austria as well!

I have just discovered a new website called Parched Penguin. I have not bought anything yet but am interested in their mixing glasses and many decorative pieces for special occasions.

If you are just getting started I would buy:
-Hawthorne
-Jigger
-Hand Juicer
-Small Tin
-Large Tin

Once you enjoy it and have mastered all of your favorite shaken drinks:
-Mixing Glass. We use these at my bar because they are cheap and can go through the dishwasher.
-Muddler. Once again dishwasher friendly and industructible.
-Bar Spoon. A cheap and effective spoon, easy to learn a proper Japanese stir.


Then comes the books...

Hey, I'm a drinky ex-mormon myself. Welcome to the other side! A couple of my sisters asked me for similar advice when they were first trying out alcohol and they seemed to like sweet wines and low-octane, sweeter drinks best. Maybe try out some fresh fruit blender drinks.

As for equipment, most of what you need may already be in your kitchen. I get the most use out of my hand-held citrus press, my peeler and my OXO angled jigger. Shakers are fun-looking and could be a good gift, but I rarely use mine. Glassware is always a fun gift!

I hope this helps! Good luck!

I have 3-4 juice presses that I use, most of them are extremely old cast iron because I tend to use a lot of antique items, though my modern one is a norpro citrus juicer which has held up quite well. Unless you're going to be doing massive amounts of juicing the hand press will probably tide you over for a while. At this point, I'd say spend the money on quality spirits and ingredients over an huge table top juicer.

I have a bottle of Velvet Falernum that I use, though I'm looking toward making my own when I can come up from air at my day job. There was a great reddit thread here that talks about making your own from a recipe vs the JDT bottle.

Tiki farm stuff is really big especially here in Orange County, CA. They have great stuff. Some friends of mine designed the Meihana mug for the cocktail of the same name.

Good Luck!

Favorite? Negroni, hands down. Equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth. However, a friend of mine made me one with DRY (white) vermouth and it was incredible! So I've been making mine that way lately. Craziness. (FWIW, we both use Dolin vermouth, my favorite.)

2nd favorite, probably a margarita. 3 parts tequila (I prefer reposado), 2 parts fresh lime juice, 1 part orange liqueur.

3rd favorite, bourbon + lime + ginger beer. Wait, or maybe a manhattan. Or a sazerac. Scratch that - 3rd favorite, nearly anything with bourbon or rye in it.

I almost always make my cocktails at home because I'm cheap :) And, I'm a cheap drunk. One cocktail and I'm not really fit to drive.

For anyone wanting to do cocktails at home, I want to recommend this citrus press. It's incredible.

This manual juicer isn't the cheapest, but it's the best. It's geared to deliver 2000 lbs of force on your oranges. It will last a lifetime, versus breaking apart after a year like those cheap electric spinners. Also, clean up is easy.

Nice tip. By the way, in case you DID want more lemon juice, I use this lemon squeezer. There's much cheaper versions starting at $5, but this happens to be the one I own.

It takes 5 seconds (cut, squeeze, dispose) and comes out in a perfectly squeezed cup. The leftover skin is practically dry to the touch and doesn't waste a drop. If you regularly deal with lemons (I really like lemon in my water), I highly recommend it.

Does he have a good shaker though? If he doesn't have a Koriko Shaker set he's missing out. You can even get like a gold/copper/black one so it stands out. They're almost roo good at creating a seal. https://www.cocktailkingdom.com/barware-sets/essential-cocktail-set-copper

A lot of cocktail enthusiasts never spring for a Chef'n juicer either but they're incredible. You generally don't need the orange-sized one and you can put limes in the lemon-sized one so that one is great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XOB0P0/ref=twister_B00H9HWZCI?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Green or Yellow Chartreuse both cost like $50-$60 for a bottle but are absolutely required for a lot of great cocktails. There's no substitutes.

I can't speak for the OXO squeezer as I've not used it but I have this one and love it: http://www.amazon.com/Bellemain-Premium-Stainless-Squeezer-Silicone/dp/B00L5G2074/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1452571917&sr=1-5&keywords=citrus+squeezer

Extremely well make, heavy duty, my only complaint is the rubber grips fall off easily but I ended up just taking them off entirely and it's fine. Whatever you do just don't skimp on it, it's worth the extra 10 bucks to get something that's quality.

If you want something for stirred cocktails but don't want to spend $40 on one of those ballin mixing glasses, I use a pyrex beaker and it works just fine. I think mine is 500ml.

A few questions:

Where are you buying limes? If there's a Mexican grocery in you area, try there. In my town, limes are WAY cheaper at the Mexican grocery than they are at the Kroger.

What are you juicing them with? A hand juicer will do all right but a juice press like this one will get you more juice per lime and faster processing for batches of them.

As for whether bartenders juice limes all day, the answer is no--we do a whole bunch all at once at the very beginning of the shift. I do about four pounds at my bar on weekend days.

It is absolutely worth having fresh citrus juice to make drinks. If you go to bottled stuff the quality dropoff is pretty steep.

I can recommend Vodka Cranberry, that uses freshly squeezed fruit, vodka and cranberry juice. This makes you look pretty cool to your friends and tasted pretty good (my SO's favorite).

• 1 part Vodka (i sometimes put 1.5 if i want a little bit more alcohol flavour)
  
• 0.5 part orange guice
  
• 0.5 part lime juice (i usually put 0.25)
  
• 4 parts cranberry Juice
  
  Shake with ice, strain into rocks glass with a lot of ice and garnish with lemon/orange wedge/slice.
  
  Edit:
  
  I use one of these for the oranges and a little smaller one for lime squeezing

Thanks. I bought a commercial citrus press from Amazon a few weeks ago. I hope it helps. I'm also working on my diet. I've learned a lot from reading this sub. Everyone has been super helpful. http://www.amazon.com/New-Star-Foodservice-46878-Commercial/dp/B00KQ47HL0/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1449199218&sr=8-18&keywords=lemon+press

Kosher salt dissolves easiest. If you can grind it up Sea Salt would be good as well. I'd stay away from table salt because you are drinking it in such high quantities and they add iodine (which is good in the small doses you use in cooking but not in these doses).

You can always sub limes for the lemon if the lemon gets boring. Though you'll need to use more limes and lime is harder to juice. You can also use maple syrup or agave sweetener if that taste better to you. Just make sure that it is 100% of whatever sweetener you choose and natural is better.

If you do start doing this regularly one of these is a solid investment. It cuts the time and effort in half at least.

Truly not trying to be snarky, here, it just sounds like you might be using one of those annoying glass juicer bowl things or doing it without a tool. In that case, I totally understand; trying to get enough juice for lemonade or something would be obnoxious. But have you tried one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L5G2074/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_p4XMDbZT2XT3C

It makes juicing a ton of citrus super easy, which is why you see them all the time at bars. I feel like I’ve read that citrus juice oxidizes quickly and changes flavor, so this might be good way to get better juice faster.

I have this citrus juicer:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000CFBZP/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit
It is awesome, I can juice a ton of citrus very quickly. My wife has no problem operating it. It is heavy and large, which I count as a good thing. As a bonus it does a pretty good job of juicing Pomegranates as well.

Looks good to me, although I don't see the need for two different sized shakers.

If you want to add something, perhaps a good channel knife and pairing knife could do you some good. Also a juicer! Those are really handy when making cocktails from fresh juice. "Chef'n" is a great brand, and by far my favorite juicer. http://www.amazon.com/Chefn-FreshForce-Citrus-Juicer-Lemon/dp/B002XOB0P0

A little pricey but certainly worth it's weight in gold.

http://www.amazon.com/Lexen-Products-Healthy-Juicer-GP27/dp/B0002LY8PA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=98IDZCH3JJNI&coliid=I28T0TGH9S8DH8
i just turned 45 on the first and decided to get into better shape. i already walk around 7 to 10 miles a day. but i want to make my own juices. good luck in your training and thank you for your service.

The 3 piece shaker is more work to clean and has a smaller capacity than a 2 piece shaker. That hawthorne strainer looks useless. the spring on it is not nearly taught enough to filter out small pieces of ice or pulp. I don't use speed pourers at home and don't know why someone would want to.

Cocktail kingdom carries top of the line stuff. To start I'd get a 2 piece shaker from them, their hawthorne strainer, and then any julep and tea strainer will do. The oxo jigger is very nice for home users. I've also heard good things about "top shelf bar supply", and I believe their stuff is more affordable.

cocktail kingdom sells the best muddler, but you don't need that at the beginning.

You'll want a hand-held citrus juicer eventually. Something like this is the way to go, with as much metal as possible.

for garnishes you'll want a y-peeler, and for a y-peeler you want kuhn-rikon. 3 of those are still like 1/3 cheaper than brands that work way worse.

barspoons are nice but you can get by with a chopstick or just a regular old spoon.

We have the one from Cocktail Kingdom. Functionally it's very good, but because it's aluminum, I think there are better options out there. This Norpro is the best I've used. It can handle larger lemons than the CK one, and is only a few dollars more expensive.

What is your use case? If you want to juice a lemon or lime or two for a marinade, salad dressing, or cocktail, hand presses will be fine. Yield may not be the greatest, but you can finish by hand.They are all pretty equal - if you aren't happy with what you tried, you aren't going to like the third one. If you want to create enough juice to drink, you either have to press for a long time, or explore other options.

Edit: This is the type of hand juicer you should look at if you are trying to get a glass of OJ in the morning: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000CCY18/ref=s9_zgift_hd_bw_b4awk_g79_i6?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-8&pf_rd_r=GRDYTX7CSHVEFD0XCBAM&pf_rd_r=GRDYTX7CSHVEFD0XCBAM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=84a625fb-afe3-476c-a15e-b84a3b2fd38b&pf_rd_p=84a625fb-afe3-476c-a15e-b84a3b2fd38b&pf_rd_i=1095338

(I like something a little heavier duty for lemons/limes as it's the workhorse)

Oranges/Grapefruits either a larger hand squeezer or reamer:

For Pineapple juice I'm using a generic Cold-pressed juicer, I can get about 1 liter of juice from a good pineapple and find that it still tastes good after a couple weeks:

This is my go to recipe for lime cordial, it is uncooked, and uses all of the peel as well as the juice. I use a Microplane to remove the lime peel, without getting the bitter white pith. It makes simply amazing Gimlets. Throw a capful of vodka or gin in it, and it will hold over a bit longer too.
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1015312-raw-lime-cordial

If you are juicing on the fly, and want to create a quickie cordial, you can add in simple to fresh juice. This is the juicer I use (which has a rachet mechanism to extract the juice way easier). IMO though, having the peel in the cordial makes all the difference, as that is where the real essence of a lime lies. Cheers.

I agree with what others said about needing to juice it for the benefits. My boyfriend is pretty into it for health benefits, and uses this manual juicer. Yes it takes a little work, and sometimes its squeaky if a blade a grass is stuck between plastic the right spot, but its cheap and easy and produces just as much juice.

You can buy grow your own kits pretty cheaply for wheatgrass, but he buys it from a local grower. Some suggest that in house grown grass is nutritionally inferior because of air and soil quality.

I can't think of anything off the top of my head, so I'll just say I don't like oranges but I do find orange juice delicious!

Edit: Although someone might find this to be useful.

Yes, good juicers are so worth it. A friend has this one in his bar at home (he takes his cocktails seriously).

The only difference between juicing and blending is blending keeps fiber/ pulp. Blending is better for fruits. Use your juicer for green juices (like Kale, Spinach, etc). A juice should have no or very few fruits in it since there is no fiber.

There are two types of juicers: centrifugal vs masticating juicer. There is some debate, but if you want leafy greens, a masticating juicer is better in my opinion (I have a masticating juicer as I juice leafy greens).

Juicers can be costly (around $400). So if you want to test the water so to speak, get a manual one to see if you will actually do this long term. Something like : http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002LY8PA/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/188-9213756-8573367

I normally agree but there are a couple that save a lot of time and that I use often enough that they're worth the drawer space. That includes citrus juicers and the avocado tool that was briefly shown in the video.

This one is pretty awesome.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L5G2074/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This will do you fine for what you will be juicing. I have one of these and a pricier electric one. I use it for cabbage and other greens. You will need a counter to mount it too and the ability to turn the crank.

The Original Healthy Juicer - Lexen GP27

Nice start! I see you have the copper mugs so definitely get on the Moscow mules. I don't really like sweet cocktails so I won't have much to add, but definitely consider making your own simple syrup at some point (especially if you use a lot of it), and eventually swap out that Rose's lime juice for the real deal.

Get one of those handheld citrus juicer things, like this. It will change the way you see cocktails once you get some fresh juice instead of the premade stuff.

Awesome suggestion. Are they big enough for grapefruit? Either way I just ordered one to give a go before I spend more on an expensive one like the Hamilton Beach.

You want something like this. I have a much smaller, less fancy version and it works great for citrus and pomegranates. Just drape a towel around it to catch any spatter.

Thanks for the contest!

I really like the Joseph Joseph garlic press - only get the all stainless one. They also have some magnetic tablespoon/teaspoon measures that I like. Also, a lemon / lime juicer like this is very handy.

I'd recommend a steam juicer. I love mine and it gives me the clearest, most tasty juice for my jelly.

Get this juicer, which is probably the most effective for small-batch juicing available. It's quick, easy to clean, and has very little loss.

As others have said, citrus juice does deteriorate quickly, usually within 30 minutes to an hour. However, whole citrus (lemons and limes and sometimes oranges; I don't usually deal with whole grapefruit) does keep for a long time in the fridge. Get a bag, toss it in the fridge, toss out any that mold or rot ASAP, and use as needed. For context, I just finished off a 5# bag of limes I got two months ago at Costco and had to throw out maybe one.

I'll give you some alternatives that are beginner friendly, and in some cases cheaper:

• Regular pub pint glass for stirring ($1-2)
  
• Oxo angled mini measuring cup ($5)
  
• Oxo Hawthorne strainer ($8)
  
• Iced tea spoon ($1-2)
  
  I'd definitely add a citrus juicer. My favorite is the Norpro stainless, http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Citrus-Juice-Press/dp/B0002IBOAK ($23). And you'll need a sharp paring knife and a small cutting board.

I'm going to be honest, I have one pretty similar to this and I rarely use it. I mostly use the handheld squeezer which in my opinion is just faster to use and takes up less space.

There are many good hand presses. You may have to spend in the low tens of dollars. I like and use the Norpro stainless steel.

I'll add a mexican elbow to the must haves. Also, the guy apparently likes Old Fashioneds, a stirred cocktail, so I'll add a mixing glass as well. That also puts a bar spoon in the must haves. :)

Edit: You'll need a julep strainer for the mixing glass.

Oh dude. Get one of these. Super cheap and makes a world of difference. I remember trying to get enough juice for ceviche without one. My hand cramped up something fierce! What is your recipe like?

8.95 on Amazon prime to save you a headache You could probably buy the catchy techno song for $0.99 too if you'd like

You need to invest in a better hand squeezer.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L5G2074/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1501087661&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=hand+squeezer+juice

Also, the flat juicey side goes DOWN in that. I've seen so many people try to put the half lime/lemon into it so that it fits the cradle (curved side down).

Haha yes. It still kinda works, but a LOT of people do it incorrectly. In the... Oh, few times I've ever seen a juice squeezer used by someone else, all but 1 were backwards.

EDIT: Ha, look, some of the product photos for this juicer have it backwards: https://www.amazon.com/Zulay-Premium-Quality-Metal-Squeezer/dp/B00YBP918M/ref=pd_sbs_79_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZPTQ98Y7K27GZGZ0QA8M

At this point you might be better off getting a manual juicer it has a hand crank and auger much like a masticating juicer without the motor.
Or eating the celery whole" with some hemp bitter or peanut butter


manual juicer

Are you going to only juice oranges and other citrus? How would you juice spinach or kale in this thing?

This is not what you need for juicing imo.

Although I'm more of a proponent to smoothies over juicing (I think the fiber helps reduce sugar spike) -- I think you should get a slow juicer instead of that thing.

If you want a manual deal, do something that looks like this (just the first hit off google that I found): https://www.amazon.com/Original-Healthy-Juicer-Lexen-GP27/dp/B0002LY8PA

I have this one I found on Amazon, and so far, so good. It's well reviewed. I like it.

More like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00015NN0S/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1459066977&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bar+juicer&dpPl=1&dpID=31AXYRWHA5L&ref=plSrch

But yes.

I love this guy

A citrus juicer was one of the best purchases I made.

No need to have an electric juicer even if you're juicing en masse.

I have two hand tools in my kitchen: one for lemons and limes and one for grapefruit and oranges.

They're quick and efficient and sturdy.

I own this: http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Citrus-Juice-Press/dp/B0002IBOAK/ref=sr_1_20?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1457980020&sr=1-20&keywords=citrus+press

In avid home bartender use for 3 years. Good press. Would buy again.

How are you squeezing them? I never have seeds in anything because I either squeeze through my fingers (wash your hands first of course) or with one of these lemon squeezers...which, btw, extract more juice than most can by hand.

I have had this one for about 6 months. It seems pretty solid.

amazon link

I have this one and it's amazing.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00015NN0S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473884329&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=Hamilton+Beach+juice+press

You really don't need that much equipment to use fresh juices. I do cocktails at parties and all you need is a cutting board, a small knife and this guy

Sure. Its pretty intuitive as soon as you use the press, but you squeeze about 80% and it's mostly juice, then you hit some resistance. Squeeze harder and it's more juice but very pulpy. Then squeeze very hard and you get dribbles which are very oily and bitter. If you do that and then touch the press you'll find it's very oily.

They're pretty cheap on Amazon, let me see if I can find it for you. Here: fifteen bucks.

Just like a ShinyTile, bringing a juicer to a knife fight...

Actually I'm just after cheap movie cliches - I use a squeezer myself. Worth every f**king penny and I have yet to break it.

Are we talking about this guy or something like it?

Back to Basics A12 Aluminum Steam Juicer

Juicing grapes may be effective, which I've done, but I'm thoroughly disappointed with apples, for example. Apples simply don't appear to render as much juice and much of the flesh doesn't deteriorate like other fruits. If there's a secret to steam juicing apples, I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise, I'm going to stick to mechanical grinding and/or pressing.

I wasn't born in America and I often saw fresh squeezed OJ being in every TV breakfast ever. One day I decided to try it since it must be way better than store bought OJ. I bought one of those OJ squeezers like this. After 6 oranges I had almost a full glass of OJ. Fuck all that work.

I have this one and it seems pretty sturdy.

I use one like this. It is extremely durable. You can find them at Target.

This is the same type that a restaurant I frequent uses in their bar - so you know it gets a good workout.

Buy this and 30 limes. Juicing should take only about 10 minutes if you get into a good rhythm and 30 should give you just enough for 70cl.

you've already got a lot of advice, but I wanted to give you one tip:

No one may agree with this, but start out by cooking breakfast- you aren't tempted to go out for breakfast as often as going out for dinner, the foods are much simpler, you will tend to cook the same thing over and over and not get sick of it, and although it won't get you laid, if you manage to get laid this will keep the girl around. Fried eggs or Perfect Scrambled Eggs, hash browns, and bacon or sausage. Learn to make french toast, and biscuits. Buy a coffee grinder and a french press, and buy one of these orange squeezers for orange juice.

Search around for a citrus press. This one on Amazon is 40, so if you're juicing constantly I think saving yourself the strife is worth it.

https://www.amazon.com/New-Star-Foodservice-46878-Commercial/dp/B00KQ47HL0/

this is what you need you can squeeze all the juice out of a lime in like a second

nope, like this.

Not sure if it’s the best, but I use this.

I just juiced cubes of watermelon with my Hand Juicer.

I suppose I could have used a blender & strainer but I was on a roll and did a couple limes as well.

Can openers and citrus squeezers. I recommend these

ZYLISS Lock N' Lift Can Opener with Lid Lifter Magnet https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HK03HI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U6IhDb3J4PZWJ

Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Juicer (Lemon) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XOB0P0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Z7IhDbQWEWW49

I got my juicer for $15. Not sure why they pumped the price up so high.

This lemon/lime squeezer thing. Best $12 spent ever. It always took me forever to squeeze every drop of juice from lemons (even harder with limes), and after about 3-4 of them my hand cramped up bad. This handy device lets me get all the juice out and I waste less of the fruit and my time and energy.

I like this one... this is a good one!

My most recent:

I was making dinner and needed to mince some garlic so I get out my garlic press , plop the garlic in, and squeeze.... only to realize that it was indeed NOT a garlic press and in face a lemon juicer. So I mistook one of these for one of these. Yeah, I felt dumb.

I have one of these and while I haven't had it for too long, I really can't imagine it breaking. Really solid.

I'm a minimalist; the one tool I love and would hate to do without is a basic lemon/lime squeezer.

​

The other tool I use a lot is a microplane--for infusing simple with lemon peel, for topping milk punch and eggnog with nutmeg.

My only complaint with Alton is that I feel he sort of lost his way towards the end of the series. When he recommended the huge, uni-tasking, counter-sculpture of a juicer over the much smaller, just as useful hinge juicer, I lost a lot of respect for him.

I have this one for home use:

http://www.amazon.com/Chefn-FreshForce-Citrus-Juicer-Lime/dp/B002XOG4B0

The extra levered squeezer [sorry, I don't know any more correct name for it] really seems to help, and the plastic it is made from is not brittle like some of the others, which I have broken at least once.

For pro use, or for tons of fruit, I would go with a levered standing juicer, but one that sets the lever on a gear and not above the top of the apparatus. I think the leverage might cause it to come down on the counter with the pull-point on the top.

Most juicers are made so that you don't have to peel it.

nope, but i have one of these

This one.

Of the five I've owned it was worth the $20. It's lasted 2 years of continual use so far. I broke 3 of the $5 model the week before I broke down and got it.

That's your problem. For cocktails, you want a juice press. You want to crush the fruit, not liquefy it.

Edit: something like this or this. All the extra fibrous junk the blender style juicers create ruins the juice for cocktails.

Or just buy one of these, get far more juice, and no seeds.

I make a lot of margarita's... one thing that I find really annoying is when people do not have a decent citrus juicer.

Made margs at my cousin's house during my hurrication last week, and it was so bad that I actually returned home, collected my juicer, and then went back to their house.

If you aren't using this squeezer you are doing it wrong.

https://smile.amazon.com/Chefn-FreshForce-Citrus-Juicer-Lemon/dp/B002XOB0P0

Get a lemon squeezer like this one. They are fast to use, clean up easily, extract about as much of the juice as can be, and --- no seeds. All you do is cut the lemon in half lengthwise, pop a half in, squeeze, out comes the juice but no seeds, open the squeezer over a food waste bin, and you're done. I've watched fast cooks do a half every second or two.

If you want them to taste good, it's a bad idea. If you want them to taste bad, it's fine.

If you were to use the Jeffrey Morgenthaler (aka /u/le_cigare_volant) batched margarita recipe, you'd need 5 cups / 40 ounces of lime juice, which is around 40 limes. If you cut them all in half before you start juicing, it's really not too much of a pain in the ass to juice them, assuming you've got a hand press juicer or something. If you're doing it totally by hand, it's sort of a pain in the ass but still worth it.

I use one of these electric juicers if I need enough citrus juice for more than a few drinks. It has two different sized heads for large and small citrus, plus you can adjust how much pulp gets through. I've had no problems at all with it after about two years of use. Otherwise, I just use the basic hand juicer. I have two different sizes and have had no problems with any of the enamel chipping off.

As for pineapple, you'll need a serious electric juicer (one where you throw the fruit in the top) with a large pulp collector, or just use the small cans of unsweetened, non-from-concentrate juice.
