"Fluicer" Flat Juicer Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Today I'm trying out the new "Fluicer", a flat plastic juicer that is super easy to use and gets a bit more juice out of your citrus. Its design also allows it to travel easier (my bar tool bag is constantly bursting at the seams) and store better in a drawer.

Next test:
1) Press half an orange in your metal press, then try the SAME half an orange in your plastic press and see if it gets any more juice out.
2) Press the other half of the orange in your plastic press, then try the SAME half an orange in your metal press and see if it gets any more juice out.
That's a pretty decent way of determining which press is more effective.
Just bought one after seeing this video. Juiced an orange in a Mexican elbow, then put the juiced fruit into the Fluicer and it got another 4-5 drops out. 👍
The juicy bits on the citrus fruit are called fronds. All citrus have the tiny juice pockets 🍊🍋.
We are passionate citrus juicers and Fluicer wins easily!
I really like this, as you said, esp. for travel kits. Thanks for the insight, as always Jeff.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this review!
Curious your thoughts on this now over a year later?
Longevity?
This product looks really interesting. (With the Mexican style juicer, I usually flip the shell over and juice it a second time to get more juice out)
Yeah I do a 180 north to south flip to yield a bit more juice. Have heard people say squeezing the ever loving shite out of citrus can get too bitter/extract too much oil but not noticed any flavour changes. I think wasting the resource would annoy me more than any negligible flavour/bitterness difference
Yeah I so rarely use a press, anything over one piece of fruit and I bust out the stand juicer. But that might change with this.
@@jeffmorgen And it looks like the flat juicer has enough room for juicing chunks of pineapple to make one-off tropical drinks (not practical with a Mexican style juicer)
Yeah there’s no noticeable flavor difference whatsoever. I’ve heard that before and it’s ridiculous the myths that people like to propagate in order to convince you they know something you don’t.
@@jeffmorgen this is why we love your work Jeff 👍🏼
Always been curious about the flat hand juicers. The round metal ones never seem to get all the juice out. Thanks for posting!
You bet!
I’m curious as to how easy it is to clean after using it?
As I’m sure you know juicing a lot of citrus in a hand juicer causes a lot of buildup of citrus oils that need a full scrubbing to clean not just a rinse.
I don’t know for sure but I would guess that this is going to last longer in and out of a dishwasher than an enameled press will.
Good to see. Interesting to see how it endures. Think it would work with lime and lemon in it too?
I think you'll want an orange one for oranges and grapefruits, and a yellow one for lemons and limes. This feels like it's not going to have the leverage for smaller fruits.
What happens if you put the orange following the direction on the second juicer? Yes, I guess there will be juice, but...
Ah like straight down instead of sideways? I don’t think it’ll fit that way.
Interesting concept/ Might have to pick one up.
You have to do a part 2 about cleaning it (granted it looks pretty easy to clean).
So far the dishwasher has been good enough!
Interesting. Amazon UK has a separate lime, lemon and orange one from £13 to £18... I like the Mexican press I have as it does all including smaller oranges. Have you tried the orange one with limes and lemons?
Not yet but it’s on my list
The biggest one does all limes, lemons and oranges
Is it can juice pomegranate ?
I’m guessing it would be a little small for a pomegranate. I still just use my big metal standing press juicer for those.
@@jeffmorgen if you will cut pomegranate into 4 piece then ?
Any concern about getting too much the citrus oil from the skin in the juice? I noticed the skin was pretty well punctured after being fluiced.
Not at all.
Those hinge pins look way to tiny. Looks like it would break the pin or the plastic would break at the hinge.
I had the same thought but it feels remarkably sturdy so far.
What do you use to juice limes in your bars?
We use a Hamilton Beach standing juicer because we juice them in volume.
Looking out for that blue string in future videos…
Haha I couldn’t find a use for it, unfortunately.
How do you think it compares to the Chef’n Freshforce?
Those juicers are just slightly modified conventional hand presses. This is a completely different method of crushing the citrus. Also those Freshforce juicers have too many moving metal parts for my taste!
@@jeffmorgen I think the ergonomics on the Freshforces are killer, so much nicer than the cheaper metal ones. But, the freshforce has pretty bad durability; I’ve gone through like 4. They have a new model with supposedly better durability though
Will try the fluicer next time I break one
Haha yeah it’s always a question of *when* a hand juicer is going to break, never *if*
Let me know how you like it!
Aaaaaaaaand it's sold out.
Damn it! Why can’t we have nice things.
Wow, yup, the orange one isn't even showing up at all. That was fast.
Dang. I think we had the same problem with the cheese slicer at first, too. Hopefully they’ll be back in stock soon.
See now I'm gonna go spend 20 dollars on this thing and find excuses to use it during service.
As you should!
