Set the two Breville machines here side by side and the Juice Fountain Plus is the one we reach for when the glass is mostly ginger. Where the Cold XL is a 1200-watt batch machine, this is an 850-watt countertop workhorse with a three-inch chute, and that pairing is the quickest route we have found from a knuckle of root and two carrots to a finished juice. Ginger is stubborn — low in water, high in fiber — and a basket spinning this fast throws it against the mesh before it has time to mat up.
The chute is the practical part. Whole apples, whole carrots, and decent chunks of ginger go in without a cutting board, which counts for more than it sounds when you are doing this five mornings a week. We also appreciate the froth separator molded into the jug: ginger foams heavily, and the separator lets the clear juice pour off the top instead of being skimmed off with a spoon.
Two things to know before you buy. At high speed it is loud enough to carry through the house, and compared with a slow press it leaves more juice behind in the pulp when you feed it soft fruit. The trade is time, and it is a good one. All the detachable parts are dishwasher safe, the cord wraps around the feet, and the body is 12.6 inches wide by 16.4 tall, which clears most upper cabinets.
What We Like
- Fast enough for a daily habit
- Three-inch chute skips most chopping
- Dishwasher-safe parts and froth separator
Worth Noting
- Loud at high speed
- Leaves more juice in pulp with soft fruit
For most people juicing ginger a few times a week, we recommend the Juice Fountain Plus: it is fast, it is proven with fibrous roots, and cleanup goes in the dishwasher.
