Making Wheatgrass Juice on Cold Press Juicer Review

Since I have bought this thing called cheap cold press juicer, I am testing both our limits by casually throwing everything I get my hands on into its feeding tube. Then, after I drink the resulting strange liquid, I go online to check if those ingredients were a good idea.

To save you the trouble: Internet clearly says that wheatgrass is unbelievably, incredibly, unthinkably, implausibly, and so on, healthy, for us, Earth humans, descendants of The Space Petunia. 

Wheat grass has the apparent ability to cure all the diseases known to humankind, to keep you strong and healthy, to keep you awake at boring lectures and meetings, to gently fix burnt-out christmas lights, to prolong the life of your Google Nexus 10 and upgrade its USB to facilitate native USB Host functionality, and so on. 

So, lets try to squeeze this green motherf****r.

Epic Comparison: Cold Press vs Centrifugal Juicer

As a progressive consumer, I am not really satisfied with almost anything I buy nowadays. And yes, the term "progressive consumer" doesn't really mean anything in the last sentence. Let's move on. Instant regret is the first thing I experience almost every time after coming home with the new thing and after trying it out. But still, it feels good for about 7 seconds immediately after buying it, so it is worth the weeks of inner conflicts which strike later.

I was happy with my centrifugal juicer for a while (Space Petunia Review defines "happy" as an emotional state which does not make a person blow his/hers head off with a moderately-sized hand cannon, but gives enough room in a definition in a way that a person is allowed to accidentally chop his/hers head off with any available kitchen appliance and/or power tool). Then I realized that with every juice I make, I am throwing away giant piles of pulp, which is still moist and full of life. Of course, that was just an excuse to put away the centrifugal juicer, and get rid of the responsibility of cleaning the thing after every use.

VIVAX SJ-150: Cheap Cold Press Juicer Review

Long ago I've heard about these "slow, cold press juicers", and of all the benefits which they could offer. Unfortunately, that did not motivate me enough to spend 89,273,761,282,423 $ for mere curiosity on their efficacy, so I put those curiosities in the drawer with the rest of the stuff from eBay for which I have no practical use - the fact which did not stop me from ordering tons of them.

And one day, glorious Chinese factories have started to manufacture these things, only 2365 times cheaper. I don't doubt that materials used in these copies are probably far inferior to those used in the expensive original ones, but frankly, I don't care much for that now. I will care of course when it breaks and falls apart, and I assume that will happen about 2 days after the warranty deadline expires.
