It's official! Everyone needs a cold press juicer in 2019 (also known as slow juicer or masticating juicer). ‘Fresh juices' in the stores are getting less fresh and less nutritious by the day and we really do need the nutrients.

​Ordinary juicers kill all the essential nutrients (especially the heat-sensitive ones) your body needs. You need a cold press juicer that meets all your nutritional needs especially for all you diabetics and cancer patients out there who need to boost up immune systems. The question now is, which is the best cold press juicer for you? With new cold press juicer companies popping up every other day it's easy to get confused.

Most slow juicers have their own pulp collecting containers either externally or internally. For those that don't you might have to place the cold press juicer over a trash bin. Some consider this messy while others think of it as having one less container to clean. For those with collecting containers, we recommend an external one. With this you won't waste time stopping to empty the basket.

Does it offer alternatives? Slow Juicers with different speeds and different types of strainers are best. For example, when it comes to speed, slow speed will work best for soft fruits such as grapes while high speed works well with harder fruits such as apples. For strainers, a coarse strainer allows you relatively more pulp in the juice while a smoother one leaves little or no pulp. It all depends on how you like your juice. How wide is the chute?

This is important as a wider chute or feeder tube allows you to throw in some fruits and vegetables whole without having to cut them. For those that still need cutting, you cut relatively bigger portions than those that go into a smaller chute. Wider chutes also mean a lower likelihood of clogging and fewer chances of oxidation. High levels of oxidation mean your juice doesn't last very long.

How big is the cold press juicer and its parts? If you have less counter space you might want to consider a cold press juicer with a small footing. Alternatively, you can opt to create space for a bigger one. A cold press juicer with larger collecting cups or containers is preferable if you do a lot of juicing at a time. It will be less time-consuming than having to keep transferring juice into larger containers every few minutes. What will you be juicing? Not every cold press or mastication juicer is good at juicing everything. Some are best at juicing fruits and vegetables while others do sauces, butters, and baby foods much more easily. Some work best with soft foods, others with hard foods while some can do both relatively well. Cold press juicers with twin gears, for example, are good at slow juicing hard produce such as the nutritious watermelon rinds but can be too much for soft fruits.

How easy is it to clean? This is especially important if you will be juicing regularly. Cold press juicers can't be left to dry so they must be cleaned after every use. You need a juice you can easily run water through in between juices If you are not a cleaning person, get a cold press juicer whose parts are dishwasher friendly.

Pro tips: Running a lemon through the cold press juicer keeps it smelling fresh and ensures no staining especially where plastic is involved. A new toothbrush can also work as a brush.

How often will you be using it? Some cold press juicers aren't wired to handle gallons worth of juicing. They can easily overheat or just quit on you. If you won't be juicing on a regular, a cheap cold press juicer is okay. However, if you see a lot of juicing in your future, buy something a little more expensive. Some juicers have also been known to overheat when used for long periods in one sitting. Others have safety protection against overheating which means they can shut down for up to an hour if you overuse them. Buy heavy duty cold press juicers if long periods will be involved. What's your budget like? How much you are willing to spend is also a factor to consider. You can get relatively affordable masticating juicers that are good quality but you have to live with some downsides such as hand washing, a smaller chute and having to cut up foods before juicing them. More expensive cold press juicers usually have more perks (though that doesn't happen always). The nitty gritty You need to consider, is it loud? How long will it last when used daily and when used less often? What is the warranty on that particular cold press juicer and is it limited? How easy is it to operate? Choose according to your preference. ​Cold Press Juicers Comparison Let's see what the best juicer companies in town have to offer:​
