For years, the traditional citrus juicer has held a dedicated spot in our kitchen drawers. It’s a workhorse for squeezing fresh lime juice for salsa, lemon juice for dressings, and orange juice for Sunday morning mimosas. But its domed design is such a space hog, it doesn’t play well with all our other utensils. And that’s not our only problem with bulky juicers.
Enter the Fluicer. Made by Australian company Dreamfarm, which makes many clever gadgets, its award-winning design solves almost every gripe we have with traditional squeezers.
First, the Fluicer nips the storage problem in the bud. Its fold-flat design means you’ll never again find yourself struggling with a juicer that gets in the way of opening your drawer, or crowds out your other tools.
You’ll also get more juice from your squeeze. A traditional, metal citrus press is usually heavy, and designed to juice lemons and limes with a top-down smoosh that can be hard on your hands. The ergonomic Fluicer is built to squeeze citrus sideways—accordion-like—so your strong arms do the work (not your poor hands).
Lightweight and dishwasher-safe, the plastic Fluicer also circumvents the eventual chipping that happens over time with typical, enameled metal squeezers. And in their total press makeover, Dreamfarm designed the Fluicer to funnel every drop of juice away from you, and into your glass or bowl—no more errant spritzes or dribbles.
After a few short weeks in our Shop, the Fluicer is such a hit with our community, it has sold out not once, but three times already, and is one of the most saved products on Food52. The cherry—or shall we say lemon—on top? The Fluicer comes as a set of 2, for citrus big and small.
