Forget Jamba Juice and Start Using a Cold Press Masticating Juicer – Find out Why Samson Juice Extractors Have the Fastest Clean up

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Juicing is a very popular health trend these days and lots of people are wondering what category of juicer they should buy that will get them the healthiest juice but still fit with their lifestyle. Well, the type of juicers that will get you the healthiest juice are most certainly masticating cold press. However, several people dislike these types of juicers because they require a bit more time to juice and their parts are not dishwasher friendly. Well, people do not have to worry anymore! Samson Juicers are masticating cold press juicers, but you can clean them in less than 3 minutes! Now you can juice your own juice at home and not have to worry about a annoying, tedious clean-up!

What Does Cold-Press Even Mean?

Cold-press is simply a term for juicers whose motors operate at speeds between 80 and 200 RPMs. They chose the name cold-press because at those speeds, juice does not overheat and stays cold. This is a good thing because when juice heats up oxidation occurs and allows enzymes to break down and lose nutrients. Since cold-press juicers avoid oxidation, they can produce the most nutrient-rich juice. (Oxidation also occurs when juice is exposed to air, which is why it is always suggested that you drink your juice right after juicing it and store the rest in a lidded container!)

Advantages of Masticating Juicers Over Centrifugal Juicers

I dont like to say that one type of juicer is better than another because it really depends what you would like the juicer for! However, masticating juicers definitely produce more nutrient-rich juice. To begin with, there are no cold-press centrifugal juicers out there because they all run at such high speeds (oxidation!) Additionally, the mastication process is much more natural than the centrifugal process- it uses a process that is reminiscent to the way we chew our food, as opposed to simply grinding fruits and veggies into a pulp. Therefore, if you are looking to juice for health reasons, you want a masticating cold-press juicer.

To Clean A Samson Juice Extractor in Under Three Minutes?

YES! Samson Juicers take less than 3 minutes to clean up! Ive timed it and I can do it in 45 seconds (Im not joking!). You can clean them so quickly because you can easily twist the entire housing off and clean everything under the tap at once, instead of having to take apart the housing and wash each part separately! This way, the tap washes off the gears and the housing while theyre still sitting in place. Just let it dry and everything is already set up to be twisted back on! You will have to scrub at the screen, but thats unavoidable if you are going to use a screen. However, it comes with a very convenient scrubbing brush to help!
