Best Cold Press Juicers 2023

The best cold press juicers make it easy to consume a wide array of plant-based nutrients without any added sugars—right at home. Compared to centrifugal juicers, which crush and spin fruits and vegetables to separate the juice from the pulp, cold press juicers (also known as masticating juicers) work a bit more slowly to crush and squeeze produce, extracting more juice and nutrients. “The pressing technology handles the fruit more gently, creating less heat and friction to produce a more nutrient- and enzyme-rich liquid,” says Vanessa Simkins, founder and CEO of All About Juicing and author of The Juice Lover’s Big Book of Juices.

If you’re ready to welcome a top-notch cold press juicer into your home, you’ll do no better than the Hurom H-200 Easy Clean Slow Juicer. In our larger tested review of the best juicers (of all kinds), this model earned the highest marks of all, winning us over with its quiet operation, easy-to-clean parts and remarkably flavorful grit-free juice.

“Of all the juicers I tried, the Hurom H200 Easy Clean Slow Juicer was, hands down, the most pleasant to use,” writes contributor Margaret Eby. “It features a giant hopper, which essentially just means that users have minimal prep work of whatever fruits and vegetables they’re hoping to juice. Given the size of the opening, you could easily chuck an entire apple in there, core and all. (And I did.)” Sweetening the deal, the Hurom comes with a generous 10-year warranty on the motor (which is the part of the juicer that typically fails first) and a 2-year warranty on all other parts.

Cold juicers tend to be more expensive than their centrifugal counterparts. But Ninja’s compact juicer produces at a very reasonable price point. The juicer’s high-torque, 150 watt motor base rotates at low speeds, yielding more juice and less foam. The machine’s parts come together quickly for easy assembly, and a simple, one-touch program makes it easy to use. The juicer also comes with three interchangeable pulp filters that let you decide if you want your juice pulpy or completely pulp free.

Juicing fruits and vegetables is an inherently messy endeavor, but Joccu’s juicer simplifies the cleanup process. The juicer’s motor works in relative silence (60 dB), even on harder, more fibrous vegetables like ginger and celery. A reverse function helps prevent clogging, and one-touch assembly lets you build and disassemble the juicer in seconds. An included cleaning brush and dishwasher safe parts let you clean up quickly after your morning grapefruit-carrot juice or that afternoon wellness shot.

Breville

Breville is a trusted name in the juicing realm, and their Juice Fountain is a great choice for anyone wanting to try out cold press juice or upgrade from a centrifugal juicer. The 850-watt motor processes a large quantity of tough produce in seconds, and an extra-wide chute lets you feed whole fruits and vegetables without pre-chopping. (Worried you might overfill the juicer? A display light illuminates to let you know you are on the verge of overloading.) A mess-free juice nozzle directs the juice directly into a pitcher or glass, and the cover, bowl, and purée disc are all dishwasher safe.

Hurom’s juicers are on the pricey end, but their beautiful design and ultra-quiet performance set them apart. What’s more, their efficient pressing transforms everything from leafy greens and citrus to nuts and seeds into ultra-fresh, professional quality juice. The juicer rotates at a slow speed of 43 RPM, which mimics the motion of hand squeezing, retains ingredients’ nutrients, and yields more juice than comparable juice models. A control lever and two strainers lets you decide how much pulp remains in the juice. Hurom’s H-AA juicer also makes smoothies, homemade tofu and turns frozen fruit into “ice cream.”

Nama

Nama’s juicer is equal parts beautiful and powerful. The juicer’s hopper technology allows you to add fruits and vegetables whole or in larger pieces for minimal prep. Even more impressively, you can load an entire batch of produce at once (rather than feeding the machine one ingredient at a time), so you can turn to other kitchen tasks while the machine gets to work. Nama’s pieces are easy to clean with soap and water and the modern and bright design makes it a juicer you won’t mind leaving out on your counter.

Operating at a slow 80 RPM, Omega’s juicer minimizes heat and oxidation and uses a triple-stage masticating technology to extract as much nutrient-dense juice as possible. It works quietly, even on tough and fibrous ingredients, and is amazingly versatile: you can make baby food, frozen desserts, homemade pasta and nut milks as well as fresh juice. It’s no wonder the Omega juicer has more than 2,000 positive ratings on Amazon, and reviewers who gush things like, “I absolutely love my juicer!! One of the best investments for my family and their health.”

Considering we’ve tested and reviewed more than a handful of the best juicers on the market, we know a thing or two about these powerful machines. In this piece, we relied heavily on our existing knowledge, factoring in our testing data, as well as the expertise of Vanessa Simkins, founder and CEO of All About Juicing and author of The Juice Lover’s Big Book of Juices. Lastly, we regularly update this piece to ensure our top picks continue to meet our standards and remain in stock. This story was last republished in March 2023.

Let’s start with the basics: There are two primary types of juicers on the market. Centrifugal juicers separate fruit and vegetables’ juice from the pulp by using powerful motors that crush and spin the produce. It’s an effective method, but the residual heat from the motor can oxidize ingredients and might lessen the juice’s overall nutrient content. Cold press juicers (which are also called slow press and masticating juicers), meanwhile, work more slowly to squeeze and press juice out of produce. This method helps to preserve the vitamins, enzymes in the fruits and veggies, yielding super fresh, nutrient-dense juice.

There are pros and cons to buying both centrifugal and cold press juicers. If you value speed and a lower price point when it comes to juicing, a centrifugal juicer is your best bet. If you’re looking for higher yields per batch of juice, opt for a cold press juicer.

“Cold press juicers are typically more pricey and do take longer to juice” than centrifugal juicers, says Simkins. But anyone who wants to maximize the nutrition of their daily juice routine, a cold press juicer is worth the higher price tag. “Juicing isn't something everyone loves, so if you aren't sure if you'll like it, get a centrifugal to start, and if you're into it, then upgrade to a more expensive cold press later,” says Simkins.

If you’re going to to invest $100 or more in a cold press juicer, you want to make sure the model you pick is one you actually like to use. Of course, you want a machine’s that’s high-quality and efficient—but it should also mess-free, relatively quiet and easy to clean. Any additional criteria beyond that depends on your unique preferences. For example, if you’d rather not bother with chopping your produce into small pieces, look for a model with an extra-wide chute that can fit whole fruits and vegetables. If you hate hand-washing, consider models with dishwasher-safe parts.
