Manual citrus juicers

A manual juicer extracts the juice from oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits and pomegranates without a motor or a plug: just pressure, a lever or a twist. In this catalogue of manual citrus juicers you will find lever juicers, dome juicers, slice presses, juice spouts and 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 models with a grater, made by Lacor, Ibili, Westmark, Microplane, Joseph Joseph, Kitchen Craft, Gefu and Hamilton Beach, for homes, bars, restaurants and commercial kitchens.

Manual juicers for every preparation

Each of these juicers has been designed to make life easier in kitchens of every size, from the most demanding households to restaurants and highly regarded kitchens. Having the right juicer for each preparation is what lets you execute a cocktail or a recipe with precision, and the material makes the difference: there are models in high-quality stainless steel and others made from certified food-safe plastics. The Lacor lever orange juicer, for example, is built from steel and aluminium: pull the lever down and the perforated pressing head extracts the juice in moments into its collection cup.

Types of manual juicer and their uses

We put every kind of juicer for oranges, lemons, limes, pomegranates and other citrus at your fingertips, with the best performance, precision and durability in every model:

• Lever or arm juicer. Ideal for large oranges and lemons, grapefruits and pomegranates. It is the bar format par excellence: the Hamilton Beach 932 manual juicer maximises extraction with the force of its pressing arm, and its cone and funnel come apart for washing under the tap.
• Dome or hand-press juicer. Works with many fruits, but is used above all with oranges, lemons and limes. The Joseph Joseph Catcher juicer separates the pips from the juice thanks to its perforated base and flexible catcher.
• Slice press. Widely used in cocktail making with lemons and limes: the slice goes into the Westmark press and, when you squeeze the handle, the juice comes out pip-free through a spout that pours with precision.
• Juice spout. Twists into the lemon and concentrates the juice into a single, pip-free stream; the Westmark spout is made of stainless steel and carries a 5-year guarantee.
• Lime juicer. Designed to extract lime juice with precision; the Ibili Mini model also handles lemons and other small citrus fruits.
• Juicer-grater. A combo that grates and juices: the Microplane Twist & Zest 3-in-1 combines a juicer, a stainless steel zester made in the United States and a channel knife for garnishes, and the Kitchen Craft 2-in-1 adds a compact grater that fits in a drawer.
• Juicer and deseeder. Lets you deseed pomegranates comfortably as well as juice citrus: the Gefu Fruti deseeds the pomegranate by tapping it over its 700 ml measuring cup and converts into a juicer with two removable cones of different sizes.

Beyond juicing and deseeding, you can add aroma straight from the fruit: the Westmark Splashy mister includes two 8 and 10 cm spray tubes that insert into fresh citrus, and the Ibili spray mister does the same job with lemons.

How to choose your manual juicer

Think about the fruit first: for daily orange juice or bar service, a steel lever juicer such as the Lacor or the Hamilton Beach 932; for dressings and cocktails with lemon and lime, a dome juicer, slice press or spout that holds back the pips; for pomegranates, the Gefu deseeder. Then the material: stainless steel for heavy use in hospitality, and certified food-safe plastic, such as Ibili's 29 cm citrus juicer, for light home use that is easy to store. In our shop, the lever juicer is what catering customers ask us for most for the breakfast bar, while at home the spouts win out for dressing dishes with barely a cut to the lemon.

Frequently asked questions about manual juicers

Which manual juicer is best for oranges?

The lever juicer: the pressure of the arm extracts the maximum juice from large oranges, grapefruits and even pomegranates with minimal peel and pulp residue. The Lacor, in steel and aluminium, and the Hamilton Beach 932 are the two bar formats in this category.

What is the difference between a lever juicer and a dome juicer?

The lever juicer works by vertical pressure with an arm and takes barely any effort, which is why it is the standard in bars; the dome juicer works by twisting the fruit half over a cone and is more compact and affordable, ideal for lemons, limes and oranges at home.

How do I juice a lemon without the pips falling in?

With a juicer that holds back the seeds: the Westmark spout twists into the lemon and pours the juice in a pip-free stream, and the Joseph Joseph Catcher separates them in its perforated base with flexible catcher.

Does a manual juicer work for pomegranates?

Yes, with the right tool: the Gefu Fruti deseeds a halved pomegranate by tapping it over its 700 ml measuring cup, and the Hamilton Beach 932 lever juicer also extracts pomegranate juice by pressure.

Which material is best in a manual juicer?

For hospitality and heavy use, stainless steel or steel and aluminium, like the Lacor and Westmark juicers, for their durability and resistance to citrus corrosion. For occasional home use, a rigid food-safe plastic like that of the Ibili juicer weighs less, cleans easily and takes up little space in the drawer.
