Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 This is great information - what WOULD you want the "perfect" juicer to do?Being the "perfect" juicer really isn't our goal. Our goal is to make it possible to turn your Vitamix into a juicer without a lot of mess. I've been "juicing" my greens daily using my hands to squeeze out the juice. I don't mind the mess, but it does take longer than I'd like. I tried the tortilla press and that was faster, but for some reason seemed messier (anyone want to buy a really good tortilla press from me - JK).In Only 15 seconds of blending on high, I am certain that the VM opens up more cell walls (releasing more juice) than my Champion does, and the pulp is cooler than the pulp that comes out of a champion. I add the greens in small batches and use the tamper and blend on variable speed 5ish to make a course pulp. Once I've coarsely chopped the greens, I scrape down the sides with my spatula (to get every last bit in the pulp mass :-) then slowly ramp it up to 10 then flip the switch to high (the pulp is thick enough that it doesn't splash around in the container). After a short 15 seconds on high, I pour it into a nut milk bag that fits perfectly over a large glass bowl. The juice begins to leak out of the bag immediately. And then the squeezing begins! I actually enjoy the squeezing process, it just takes a little bit longer than I'd like.My Hamilton Beach citrus press will show up tomorrow. Before we get into making a prototype, I'm going to see how placing a bag of pulp in the citrus press works in real life (see if it will work as well as I "think" it will). If it works as well as the tortilla press, but with less mess, then I think we might be on to something. In the Amazon.com reviews, the Hamilton Beach juice press was the only one that was given a majority of 5 star reviews. One of the few complaints was that it was too small to juice grapefruits and large pomegranates. With our inserts, I'm hoping that not only can we capitalize on the veggie and fruit juicing market, but also gain some of the citrus juicing market share!Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< On Jan 18, 2012, at 9:13 PM, wrote: Great concept.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 > > This is great information - what WOULD you want the " perfect " juicer to do? > > Well...the PERFECT juicer would plant the veggies, weed the garden, harvest them, juice them, then clean up after itself! Barring that..... JK!! I must have missed the mark on your plan-I thought you intended this unit to DO the juicing, but now I think you mean for it to be an add on to the Vitamix? If the intention is just for it to act as a press for squeezing out the pulp, again, I wouldn't use it personally, but I still think it has the potential to work well. I am happy with the tortilla press (took me a while to work out a method), but I almost think it undermines the Vitamix to suggest that another expensive appliance is needed to make " real " juice in the Vitamix, when it fact it does fabulous juice without ANY attachement...but we all know many want a " clear " juice, so it would have its value there. Again, that said-if I was going to invest 250 in something else for clear juice, I would just get an additional clear juicer, such as a Champion. That is just my honest assessment, but I may still not be understanding your intention? I have used that type of citrus press before and while wonderful for small citrus, I am not sure it would function well as a press, without a ton of modification...which is what I think you are proposing? Since the area for pressing is small in its current design, I don't see it holding a bag of pulp sufficiently to do the trick, but I am quite certain you will be trying that very thing by this afternoon-keep me posted, curious as to the result!!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I'll have to get one of those to see if a MUCH bigger version would do. The only concern would be hand strength concerns. The rack and pinion design helps eliminate the need for great hand strength and increases the amount of juice that can be pressed out.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Well, this is encouraging!I was hand pressing my juice today, and thinking how much I've actually come to like this squeeze/squeeze process, I'm getting it down to a science!My Hamilton Beach citrus press comes in the mail tomorrow. I'll let everyone know how it goes!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 If it were really simple to use and clean, I'd seriously consider buying it. I have a nut milk bag and haven't even considered taking it out of the package because I just don't want to squeeze and squeeze again. Sounds like the product you're working on would make juicing an easier process. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Simplicity and few parts is something that really is important to me in the design process. I loved the potato ricer concept (for the bottom portion) but we will have to have the pusher on a rack and pinion gear with a lever to get the most press for the least amount of effort. And, the whole container will have to be bigger than the potato ricer to be big enough to hold the bag of juice!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 When I got married to my 1st husband in 1947, we got a nice set of pans with a potato ricer like this one. http://www.amazon.com/Fox-Run-3-Piece-Stainless-Steel-Chinois/dp/B0000VLPMQ/ref=sr_1_42?ie=UTF8 & qid=1327015053 & sr=8-42 Lucille From: Lea Ann Savage Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 5:56 PM Subject: Re: Market Research Simplicity and few parts is something that really is important to me in the design process.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Lucille ~ you have all kinds of good ideas! Now that I see that picture, I think I have one of those too (LOL!) or borrowed one from my MIL. I'll have to check when I get home. RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.
