Breville BJE830BSS Juice Fountain Cold XL Juicer

Overview

A family kitchen that juices in batches gets a large centrifugal juicer with a stainless steel blade and a wide feed chute. Produce goes down the chute onto the spinning blade, and juice flows into a sealable jug or through a nozzle straight into a glass.

Batch size is the selling point: the wide chute takes produce with less chopping and the large jug stores juice for later. Size and cleanup are the downside, since the machine is heavy, tall and its parts go in the sink, not the dishwasher.

Who it's for

Families and regular juicers who want a jug of juice for the day get a wide chute and a storage jug in one machine. Shoppers short on counter height, or who want a slow masticating press, should look at other designs.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Juice quality depends on the spinning blade and how produce is fed: steady pressure down the chute gives the blade time to cut, while forcing it pushes more pulp through. Breville calls its method Cold Spin Technology, and the listing does not explain it further. The sealed jug lets a batch be stored instead of drunk right away.
