It is not for nothing that the H80ST from the South Korean company Hurom has the title "Premium" in its name - after all, the government in Seoul has awarded this top-class juicer the title of "World Class Korean Product". The latest model from the manufacturer, which has specialized in this type of appliance since 1974, impresses with its quiet operation, patented slow-squeeze technology and increased juice yield.

Fruit and vegetables are juiced particularly gently at just 50 revolutions per minute. Experts also refer to this as raw food quality. The advantage: the low speed results in very little heat and your pressed product hardly comes into contact with oxygen. The result is aromatic, nutrient-rich juices with a pure taste and intense color. And more than that, because in addition to the fine sieve, which is clicked into the sieve scraper to make juices, ginger shots etc., a slightly coarser sieve for smoothies, shakes and plant milk made from soaked nuts and seeds is also included. The absolute highlight: the ice cream strainer, which you can use to conjure up delicious fruity ice creams and sorbets based on frozen bananas and other frozen pieces of fruit. (N)Icecream, you scream, everybody wants (N)Icecream!

The generous 2.2 liter filling container can hold apples or pears including the core. Even whole heads of broccoli or cauliflower, beet or pumpkin are no challenge for the spirally arranged, sharpened blades that form the heart of the Hurom H80ST. To achieve the most thorough chopping possible, it is better not to juice spinach and green herbs such as basil leaves or parsley separately, but to add them to the fruit and vegetables in the feed basket. Pre-chopping is only recommended for fibrous vegetables such as celery stalks. Stone fruits such as plums, nectarines and peaches must have their hard pits removed before juicing. Good to know: You can even refill the juicer during operation. Simply open the lid of the filler container - the appliance then stops automatically and only continues the juicing process when the container is closed again. One cycle produces around 650 ml of freshly squeezed juice. And if, contrary to expectations, some fruit or vegetables get stuck, simply engage reverse gear. One press of the reverse button is all it takes to clear all paths again. Two jugs are supplied as additional accessories: The smaller jug fits under the juice outlet, the larger one collects the leftovers - the pomace. Recycling recommended: Did you know that you can make crackers, crunch and breadcrumbs from the pomace or use it as an ingredient in baking? Speaking of ingredients, vegetable juice is not just for drinking - when fresh, it is the perfect, tasty base for bouillon, soups, sauces and risotto.
