On purchasing the PURE Juicer™. The PURE team & I designed the PURE Juicer for you. We wanted to make the world’s best two-stage juicer - a machine that is simple to use, makes the most outstanding juice, and is easy to clean. We literally went to the drawing board and started from scratch.

The PURE Juicer was designed to fill the need for a modern two-stage juicer built to the highest engineering, design and manufacturing standards. My background is in design; I started designing and making things when I was 14 and have continued now for over 40 years. The first two-stage juicer I saw was in 1978.

HARDENED CUTTER The heart of the grinder/triturator is the PURE cutter made from knife grade 440a stainless steel that has been heat-treated to stay sharp longer. The cutter is so sharp and hard that, with good care, it will stay sharp for years and possibly the life of the machine. The cutter has been sharpened to the precise angle to triturate vegetables with the lightest push.

GRIDS Smooth Sided, No Sharp Edges. The least understood part of the two-stage juicer are the grids. The grids regulate the fineness of the grind. The PURE Juicer comes with seven grids: four for juicing (#5, #6, #7 & #10) and three for fine grinding and nut butters (#2, #3, #4).

A commercial user will often use the largest to reduce fatigue, increase speed and decrease heat. When a two-stage juicer is run for hours there can be a lot of heat generated. If not effectively controlled, this heats the mash and shortens the life of the juice.
