A fresh cup of juice — poured into one of our favorite drinking glasses, perhaps sitting alongside some just-baked waffles — is a delightful addition to any breakfast.
But the bottled, grocery-store stuff pales in comparison to the vibrancy of fresh-pressed juice. Fortunately, you don’t need to go on a tropical vacation or visit a fancy juice bar to revel in the experience of drinking a bright, flavorsome glass of juice.
We’ve tested dozens of juicers since 2014, and we have three new picks.
Our top pick is the Nama J3. It’s efficient, and it requires very little hands-on effort. And best of all, it makes delicious juice from all manner of produce.
For hardcore juicers, the Kuvings Auto10 Plus is our upgrade pick. This juicer can make much bigger batches than our top pick.
And the Tribest Shine Compact Multi-Batch Juicer, our budget pick, is a small, effective option for those who are new to juicing or have limited space.
All of these models are batch juicers, featuring hoppers and auto-feed functions, which make the juicing process considerably easier by reducing the time spent pre-chopping and adding ingredients.
Keep in mind that a juicer extracts only juice from produce, separating it from the pulp. If you’re looking for a drink that retains pulp, seeds, and fiber, you may be better off with a blender.
The best juicer – Nama J3
The Nama J3 is capable, convenient, and a suitable size for both new and seasoned juice devotees.
The hopper will fit most, if not all, of the ingredients for your recipe, and it requires only basic pre-chopping of large ingredients (usually into halves or thirds).
It had the highest green-juice yield of any machine we’ve tested (yielding nearly 12 ounces of juice from 16 ounces of produce), effectively juicing fibrous greens. And it makes delightful-tasting beverages.
This juicer is covered by a generous, 15-year warranty, ensuring a good return on investment.
A machine for hardcore juicers – Kuvings Auto10 Plus
With its removable hopper extension, the Kuvings Auto10 Plus has the largest capacity for holding fruits and vegetables of any juicer on the market. This hopper can hold your entire recipe, with room to spare. And it can even fit larger ingredients, like carrots or zucchini, without any need for pre-chopping.
It produces a silky juice with a richer mouthfeel than the juice from the other models we tested, and it comes with a small sieve for creating entirely pulp-free juice.
Though the Auto10 Plus is pricey, its capacity and ease of use are game changers for high-volume juice drinkers.
This juicer is also covered by a 15-year warranty.
A smaller, less-powerful juicer – Tribest Shine Compact Multi-Batch Juicer
The Tribest Shine Compact Multi-Batch Juicer is relatively inexpensive and lightweight, and it’s slim enough to fit in a small kitchen. It has lower yields and makes pulpier juice than our other picks. Yet it still performs well, and it makes great-tasting juice.
The hopper is on the small side, but it still cuts down on pre-chopping time. And the plastic screen, which separates the juice from the pulp, is easy to clean compared with the metal screens on our other picks.
This juicer is covered by only a three-year warranty.
