Hey everyone.
Today, I'm doing a review on the Cilio Citrus and Pomegranate Press.
Thank you guys for joining me today.
If this is your first time at Konkin Can Do my name's Julia and my husband Ben and I love
crafting cocktails from the comfort of our own home.
About a year ago on our honeymoon, we went to the Vintage Cocktail Club in Dublin, Ireland.
We totally fell in love with all of the amazing cocktails they made, especially the ones made
with freshly pressed citrus juice.
Pretty much as soon as we got home, Ben and I hopped onto the computer to find ourselves
a citrus press.
After reading some reviews and doing a bunch of research, we decided on the Cilio Citrus
and Pomegranate Press, a.k.a.
'The Press'.
The press promises fresh juice with minimal effort and quick and easy clean up.
So we've put the press to the test for almost a year now.
Get ready for our Konkin Can Do Candid Review.
It's super easy to use.
You take your fruit, cut it in half, put it on the juicer, pull the lever and ta-dah!
You've got freshly squeezed juice.
It juices fruits of all shapes and sizes, grapefruits, oranges, lemons, limes, pomegranates.
Some juicers work a little too hard and end up getting to that white rind part of the
fruit, which makes your juice bitter.
This one does not do that.
This is a very solid and sturdy press.
The frame is made of aluminium and the juicing pieces are made of stainless steel.
It is pretty easy to clean, these pieces pop out so you can easily put them in the dishwasher.
They are dishwasher safe.
No batteries or electricity required.
This thing runs off of pure elbow grease.
Plus, it looks pretty cool.
Some of the other Cilio juicers actually come in a wide variety of colours.
We found that the bolts start to loosen after a while.
Sure, we use this thing on a pretty regular basis.
In order for us to actually tighten the bolts, we need a special sized Allan Key.
Even though the other pieces are easy to clean, you can't take this top part off without a
lot of effort and tools that aren't included.
Another thing that we don't really like is that the height of this part can't be adjusted.
So if you want to put a taller glass under there, you're out of luck.
Before purchasing this, we read some negative review about the coloured models saying that
the paint actually chips after a while, so just heads up there.
The suction cups that are on the bottom don't properly secure the juicer to the countertop.
So when you're actually using it, you have to secure with one hand and pull the lever
with the other.
We absolutely love this thing and we use it a little more than I care to tell.
I guarantee you that no juice you're going to buy from the store is going to taste like
this.
Konkin Can Do approved!
Got some citrus in the back of my throat.
