Zulay 3-in-1 Manual Citrus Juicer Reamer Cup, 17oz.: While this juicer was effective, the Chef’n Citrus Juicester was just more comfortable to use and slightly more efficient at extraction. Commerce Director Taysha Murtaugh owns this machine and loves it. "I’m usually not one to go for single-use appliances—and sure, my handheld citrus juicer gets much more use—but when I need to juice a lot of limes for a pitcher of margaritas (or any other recipe), I’m thankful to have this handy and stylish little machine," she says. Bartenders use this because the design allows the juice to be squeezed right into the drink. Clean-up is also a breeze because the pulp, seeds, and rind stay inside the squeezer. Just open it up, throw away the discarded parts, and you’re ready to squeeze again! Lemon Reamer

To store in the refrigerator: fresh lemon juice will last 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, it tends to get more bitter as it sits, so it’s best to freeze it for long-term storage.

Our answer

Grapefruits Test (Winners-Only): With each of our favorite juicers, we juiced two grapefruits (halved) to see how they did with a large citrus. We weighed the grapefruits before juicing, then weighed the strained juice to calculate percentage yield.

We were able to juice both halves of a lemon without a single drop overflowing. It's quite easy to pour out, too, thanks to the little spout. The juicer is easy to clean, either by hand or in the dishwasher, and we noticed that no seeds or pulp strands got caught in the strainer. Whether you’re a big fan of lemonade or love to add lemon to brighten up the flavor of countless other meals, learning how to juice a lemon without a juicer is an essential life skill in my lemon-loving opinion. In fact, while I’ve included the juicer method below, I’ve included five other methods for you to choose from! As a bonus, many work with other citrus fruit, like limes, too!

What we looked for

I like to use my reamer if a recipe calls for a small amount of citrus juice. However, I don't think I would ever use a reamer to make a large amount of juice!

Chef’n Lemondrop Citrus Juicer: We appreciated the built-in strainer, but the collection bin was far too small. Suitable for Many Types of Fruits: these wooden lemon juicers are easy to operate, suitable for different types of fruits, especially citrus, including limes, lemons, oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and more, with better juicing effect and are ideal kitchen appliances For dedicated citrus juicers, peeling your fruit is unnecessary. All you have to do is slice your citrus in half (crosswise) so that the flesh is exposed. From there, you can use your juicer as directed by your user's manual. If you're using a regular juicer (a centrifugal or masticating type), you'll want to consult the juicer's manual to see how it handles citrus fruit.
