The survey we conducted threw up some common questions which we were asked. Here are some of them - along with answers.

When we talk about a 'cold press juicer' it simply refers to the technique used to extract the juice from fruit or vegetables or other juiceable materials.

The difference between a cold press juicer and a normal juicer is that the former masticates the juicer out of the fruits and vegetables without the use of excessive heat preserving more vitamins and minerals.

You should choose a juicer that ticks all the right boxes. One that operates at the right speed so its quick enough to make a juice before work in the morning and slow enough so that it does not produce excess heat to preserve the nutrients and antioxidants. The Naturopress Juicer does just that!.

Traditional juicers use spinning blades that move at high speed to shred fruit and vegetables. This movement is based on a very fast centrifugal force that extracts the juices from the liquefied fruit and vegetables, separating the juice from the pulp. The motor turns the blades very quickly, around 20,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) to cut, shred and separate the liquid from the pulp.

In contrast, cold pressing is a gentle, low-speed process that constantly presses the ingredients. To do this, a slow juicer uses a piece similar to a screw or helical mill, shaped like a pineapple, which rotates slowly.

So a slow juicer works without exceeding 65RPM but exerts great pressure. This way the juice is extracted without cutting the ingredients or increasing the temperature.

As a bonus - it provides super quiet juicing - producing only 50dB of noise.

Yes, each system gives different results. Although a slow juicer and traditional juicer both produce a large amount of juice, the final product in the glass shows notable differences.

A traditional juicer produces a large amount of juice but the texture is sometimes slightly denser and thicker, due to some residue in the liquid, a paler colour, and not entirely uniform.

With a slow juicer, the same volume is obtained, but the result is smoother, more homogeneous and with a silky and uniform texture. The juice also has a more vivid colour when made using a slow juicer.

Another big difference between the two is clearly seen after a few minutes pass. The juice you get from a traditional juicer begins to separate into layers that are not very attractive to the eye, with the water remaining at the bottom and the concentrate of the fruit or vegetables at the top.

So you need to stir it vigorously to remix them if you do not drink the juice immediately.

This is not the case with the juice obtained from a slow juicer. The juice retains its homogeneity even after several hours.

A slow juicer prevents water from separating and no layers are created in the glass. So you can prepare the juice in advance, even the day before, and it will retain its uniform texture for longer.

We've already explained the main difference of a cold press or slow juicer in terms of the technique used, so what are the real advantages?

One of the reasons that the slow juicer has become fashionable is because it produces a healthy drink containing the maximum amount of nutrients and the technique prevents oxidation.

Yes, it has been shown that by avoiding extreme temperatures, juices made in a slow juicer do keep better than juices made using a regular blender or citrus juicer.

But the more interesting difference is the ability of a slow juicer to extract the fibre while preserving a smooth texture.

So here are the main advantages of a cold press juicer:

• Prevents oxidation
• Enhances the look and taste
• Retains vitamins longer
• Avoids darkening or separation of ingredients

Also, the Naturopress slow juicer can press more fibrous and harder ingredients such as leafy vegetables, pomegranates, artichokes or even nuts.

So you can prepare recipes such as milk and vegetable drinks (almond, corn, soy or walnut, for example) or green juices.

Finally, cold press juicers with several filters and a good feeding chute make it easy to create different recipes: juices, vegetable milk, sauces and sorbets.

The Naturopress cold press juicer gives better results than a traditional blender or citrus juicer in terms of flavour, texture and versatility in recipes.

If you want to prepare a wide variety of juices using fruits or vegetables, with good flavour and that look appealing in the glass, then the Naturopress is the best cold press juicer you can buy!

The motor power is the "force" that the motor has. So a motor with a lot of power will have more "force" when cutting the food. But in a cold press juicer, this is much less important than in normal blenders.

Remember that a cold press juicer does not need as much power as a centrifugal blender, so even with a power of 150W, it is enough to do the job. Why? Because in a centrifugal blender the blades need to move at a very fast speed, and this requires a lot of power in the motor.

But in a cold press juicer, no cutting action is performed. Instead, the pressure is exerted by the roller to “squeeze” the food, and much less power is required in the motor to do this.

The more power you have, the better. Although 150W it is already sufficient, a higher power rating (the Naturopress comes with a 240W motor) makes it even easier for the juicer to press very hard food or ingredients.

It is also useful to have a reverse function, so the roller can operate in reverse to unblock food. We already mentioned that the RPM indicates the speed at which the motor rotates, so a high RPM equates to fast operation, while a low RPM equals slow operation.

One of the benefits of the Naturopress cold press juicer is its low RPM because the slower the press runs, the longer the ingredients spend on the roller, so more fibre is broken down and more juice is extracted.

It's that simple - the slower it works - the longer the nutrients in the juice will be preserved.

The Naturopress offers all the advantages of cold press juicers already mentioned. It also made from very high-quality BPM free components and stainless steel and comes with a comprehensive warranty. It's super easy to use and features a wide feeding chute to allow easy insertion of a wide range of fruit, veggies, and other ingredients for juicing. Also, the Naturopress cold press slow juicer is straightforward to dismantle, and you can use a regular cleaning brush to quickly clean it - and your cold press juicer will be ready for the next time you want to enjoy a super healthy and nutritious juice!

The Naturopress juicer was not designed for commercial use, although some cafes do buy them we advice that you buy one of our commercial juicers.
