This absolutely cool Zumex orange juice machine is nothing too new. You may have even seen them in juice bars or restaurants. This particular one has been with me for almost two years, and even longer for my husband since he bought it way before we were married. Why am I just now getting excited about it?
Because for some reason, I’ve been craving orange juice more than I can ever remember. It’s not that I didn’t like it before, just not more than a few sips. The acid has always seemed to upset my stomach. But no more. And there’s nothing like freshly squeezed, sweet Valencia oranges!
Here’s how this juicy, mechanical box of coolness works
Dump your case of oranges (or just a few if you fancy) into the reservoir on top.
And then all you do is flip the switch…
The neat little rotating wheels do their magic by slicing each orange in half and squeezing…
And the orange rinds are conveniently and automatically discarded into the receptacle neatly hidden behind a cabinet door. I pour my freshly squeezed, perfect juice from the tap…
And then I am sure to tag and claim before chilling in the fridge, or it will surely be gone before I even make it out of the kitchen!
The Zumex pumps out about a liter of juice in about 30 seconds. I’ve been drinking 1/2 to 1 liter nearly every day now for the past 2 weeks! Obviously there’s something going on in the ol’ bod that needs this liquid sunshine. Guess it could be worse, right?
