Tanja Reviews the PURE Juicer
We recently met with Tanja, creator of gersongirls, her sister and members of the Gerson family for a delightful lunch. Tanja was kind enough to share her early thoughts about the PURE Juicer.
David Feinberg recently demonstrated the PURE for the Gerson family. My sister and I were there at the same time, so we got to witness the PURE in action.
For the past years, I have been juicing with a Super Angel. Using a 2-stage juicer was a complete new experience for me. Seeing David and the PURE in action for the demonstration was impressive for all of us. Getting a hands-on lesson from the designer himself was priceless and my learning curve steep.
David surprised us all, when he offered the juicer for an extended test drive. I ended up being the lucky girl that got to take the PURE home. Talk about an AMAZING SURPRISE!
David carefully packed the PURE in my car and off I went home to discover the joy of 2 stage juicing. Setting up the PURE on my countertop was exciting and luckily I had the other items needed already at home. A stainless steel measuring cup, bowls, deep baking pan, and 32oz wide mouth ball jars.
I washed and prepped all the produce, not knowing how much less I would need. Grinding the produce was fast and easy. No fear of messing up my kitchen Norwalk style. I stirred the mash and used 1.5 cup, almost 2 cups for each cloth. Placing the fully loaded cloths in the center of the tray and putting it in place is key to spill free pressing.
The ball jar worked perfectly for collecting the juice. No need to move the jar around as the opening of the wide mouth jar is wide enough for the juice flow. The non stick cloth is a sensation in itself. So is the paper dry pulp!
Even though you can put all the parts in the dishwasher, I decided to hand wash them for the experience. Clean up is very easy and fast – and a whole lot faster than cleaning my Angel screen.
My conclusion:
- The coolness of the blade and the pulp was astounding.
- The pulp is paper dry.
- The texture and taste of the PURE juice has no comparison to any juice I ever tasted.
- The PURE juice is… pure! Super smooth and pulp free!
- Clean up is a breeze and the PURE is so well designed, it deserves a spot on the countertop.
What a treat to have the PURE at home and to test it out!
Norwalk Update: November 2021
The Norwalk Juicer Company closed its doors in November 2021 after 87 years, and it was sadly missed by the entire juicing community. At that time, the PURE Juicer was the only two-stage juicer available. Created in 2016, the PURE Juicer innovated two-stage juicing and the juicing experience through modern technology and customer input.
We did not anticipate Norwalk going out of business. Our community was full of Norwalk and PURE Juicer owners with the same goal of drinking the best true cold-pressed juice a home juicer can make. Knowing many in our community would need parts and/or services for their Norwalk, we were working on ways to support them.
PURE made all its juicing parts from food-grade stainless steel, and we redesigned the feed tube for easier use and less kickback. We incorporated an eight-tooth stainless steel cutter and increased the pressing force to 2.5 tons. These changes produced the highest yield and a better juicing experience.
In an effort to carry the legacy of two-stage juicing forward and to support the community who was unsure what to do next, this is what we shared at the time:
- PURE Juicer cloths, bags, and liners are compatible with all Norwalk Juicers. You can find them in our juicing cloths, liners and bags collection.
- PURE Juicer parts are not compatible with Norwalk Juicers. Please contact our support team if you have any questions.
- The PURE Juicer was Gerson-approved, just like Norwalk. You can find our Gerson resources here.
Our commitment is to our community. We welcome your questions and comments. And we hope to see everyone juicing for years to come.
Sincerely,
David Feinberg
CEO & Founder of PURE
