Fluff from apple, celery and carrots have the most neutral flavor and go nicely in a morning shake.
Citrus leftovers are also pretty overbearing and bitter. My advice if you do the same: don’t include any ginger pulp – if you do, it’ll be the only thing you taste. So far, my favorite solution is adding the fluff to my weekly batch of breakfast smoothies. (I blame my baking skills, not the directions.) I still believe I’ll find something that works, but I have to experiment more. I tried a few muffin recipes that call for juicer pulp, but they didn’t turn out well. The first time I saw it I had to wonder what the heck I was supposed to do with all of that. Liquid health pours from one side of the machine, but a pile of fluffy plant matter kicks out the other. The only other thing that gave me pause was the pulp. I figure if I have to hand-wash some, I may as well do them all. A few of the parts are dishwasher safe, but others aren’t. Turns out a standard dish brush and warm, soapy water do a great job of removing apple, carrot and all other remnants. Breville supplies a scrub brush for the job, but I promptly lost that. The hardest part to wash is probably the mesh-and-grate extraction basket. If you wait until the pulp bits and juice spray have hardened, you’ll have to put in some muscle and fuss to get it sparkly again. I don’t think I looked at the instructions since the first disassembly.Ĭleaning the components isn’t hard either – as long as you do it immediately. And it does break down into quite a few pieces (seven to be exact), but taking it apart and putting it back together is completely intuitive. When I first saw it, I was convinced the Fountain would be something I’d use once and never again after the tedium of washing its various intricate parts. But hey, if it means my kid will drink eight ounces of a kelly green apple/kale concoction and ask for more, it’s worth it in my book. A big bunch of organic carrots and a few oranges quickly turn into a lovely neon drink, but there might be $6 worth of produce swimming in that cup. So yes, it does a great job of getting the most out of each piece of produce, but juicing still isn’t cheap. Even leafy kale only needs a light push from the plunger. The motor is so powerful and the mesh/graters so robust that just the weight of a carrot or cucumber itself is usually enough to run it through the extractor. Seriously, it sounds like an aircraft readying itself for takeoff this is a daylight hours-only kind of machine. Once the fruits and vegetables go in, the Fountain transforms them into juice in seconds, absolutely obliterating them with what I can only assume is a tiny jet-engine. Apple, kale, celery and lemon make a vivid green drink that reminds me of spring and feels like you’re drinking a cup of vitamins - if a cup of vitamins were delicious.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. Carrot, ginger, lemon and orange together make something sweet and zesty that tastes and looks like a sunrise. At first, I turned to the internet for recipes, but pretty quickly learned that throwing in whatever sounds good tends to have the best results. The cocktail itself is bright, warming and spicy – and possibly my favorite tipple.īut I’m not drinking as much these days, so I’ve been using the Juice Fountain for healthier stuff that doesn't have bourbon in it… like straight juice. It lasts a week or two in the fridge, so I can get a lot of horse’s necks out of a juicing session. Weight-to-volume conversions aside, that’s a pretty great ratio. I make ginger juice in bigger batches, getting about five liquid ounces from eight ounces of ginger. That’s where the Fountain comes in – it extracts a waterfall from seemingly parched produce like it’s squishing grapes. The drink calls for a quarter ounce of ginger juice, and if you’ve ever seen a knotty clump of said root, it doesn’t look like it would contain much liquid. My dad bought me Breville’s Juice Fountain for a very specific purpose: to recreate the horse’s neck cocktail he’d enjoyed on a snowy evening at the High West distillery saloon in Utah.
