Compare manual and electric auger juicer. Screw juicer for home: how to choose which model is better

Juices sold in stores are unlikely to help supply the body with all the useful substances, so having a juicer in the house has long ceased to be a luxury. Housewives have been dealing with centrifugal juicers for a long time and know what to look for when purchasing them, but the choice of auger models that have recently appeared on the market confuses many. Let's try to understand the features, advantages and disadvantages of such units. Let's analyze the rating of the most popular models and consider the main points when choosing a device.

Auger juicer

Auger juicers have many advantages

All juicers can be divided into two types - and auger ones, depending on what vegetables and fruits the juice will be extracted from (and we don’t take citrus fruits into account). If centrifugal models cope with soft vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, apples, pears, then screw models allow you to extract juice from harder products, for example, from herbs or sprouted wheat. Also, using a screw juicer, you can easily squeeze juice out of grapes or tomatoes, something that centrifugal models cannot handle (the sieve gets clogged). And the secret of such good performance lies in the principle of operation.

Peculiarities

Centrifugal devices are equipped with rotating knives that grind products from a special container as much as possible. Next, the resulting juice passes through a separator, after which it enters a tank designed for collecting juice (not all models have such a capacity).

The job of an auger juicer is not to crush fruits, but to squeeze juice out of them. This process takes place using a durable polycarbonate screw, which pushes the incoming product to the filter mesh. The squeezing procedure is repeated until the waste in the form of cake becomes dry. Then, with the help of silicone brushes, all the resulting juice enters the juice receptacle, while the pulp passes through another hole.

Many housewives even manage to use cakes. For example, the resulting carrot cakes are suitable for making pilaf.

The resulting juice (depending on the type of device) does not differ in its qualities, but the housewife will notice the difference in the waste. If, after using centrifugal devices, the cake still contains a large amount of useful liquid, then after using auger devices, compressed bones and crusts remain. This is especially noticeable when extracting juice from soft products.

An auger juicer will help preserve all vitamins as much as possible

Auger juicer how to choose:

Advantages and disadvantages

A large percentage of juice obtained is not the only advantage of auger devices. This may also include:

1. Due to the fact that this juicer makes fewer revolutions per minute, energy consumption is significantly reduced.
2. Quietness of the device. This quality is especially important if the need to prepare juice occurs at a time when loved ones are sleeping in the house.
3. These juicers are durable and reliable. The screw shaft operates in slow mode, which means the engine is not overloaded and all structural elements do not wear out.
4. The attachments (included) make it possible to obtain not only juice from vegetables and fruits, but also cocktails, sauces, and purees.
5. Easy care. For most models, it will be enough to pour clean water from the bottle into the neck where the ingredients are supplied and turn on the device.

Probably, they have not yet created a device that will not have any disadvantages, and the auger juicer is no exception. All the positive aspects of the juicer affect its high price.

If the purchase is not in a hurry, you can wait with the purchase. Auger juicers are also expensive because they appeared on the market relatively recently. As soon as the lineup gets bigger and competition increases, the price will drop.

The second significant drawback (especially for summer residents) is the narrow neck for serving ingredients that have to be cut. Nothing can be changed in the design, which means that before purchasing you will have to think carefully about how important the issue with the amount of juice produced is.

Kinds

All juicers of this type are divided into 4 types, and it is advisable for the buyer to become familiar with their functions in advance so as not to make a mistake when purchasing.

Rating of auger juicers

This table presents the 5 best (according to consumers) auger juicers, where the main criteria were the ratio of quality and price.

Model	Approximate price in rubles	Power	Speed. Number of revolutions/min.	Additional information (from consumer reviews)
VES 3005	2500	1500W	200	This model is made of high-quality plastic and is easy to wash. Disadvantages include noise during operation. The juice is squeezed out efficiently, but it is advisable to peel the peel, for example from apples.
Saturn ST - FP 8086	5000	200W	85	The juicer is made of plastic and is almost silent during operation. The model has rubber feet, which prevent the device from moving on the surface during operation.
Oursson JM 8002	7000 – 10000	200 W	47	The device is silent. During operation, the pulp is automatically thrown into a separate container. Easily copes with squeezing juice from greens. Thanks to the small turnover, the juice does not overheat during extraction, which means it retains more nutrients. When the device operates, the contact of the juice with air is minimized, which means that oxidation of the resulting juice is eliminated.
HuromHU – ​​400	15000	150 W	80	A disadvantage is the ability of a juicer to produce puree rather than juice from soft fruits and berries.
Kitfort KT – 1101	4000 – 5000	150 W	120	The ability to produce puree from soft berries is also noted. In addition, in the presented model it is difficult to wash out the cakes that remain after its operation.

When choosing equipment, pay attention to reviews, for example, when choosing microwave ovens, consider,.

How to use the auger juicer:

When purchasing a screw juicer, in addition to information about the manufacturer, you should also pay attention to the following information:

1. Quality of material. It will also determine how beneficial the resulting juice will be.
2. Availability of a guarantee (which is given only by bona fide manufacturers).
3. Dimensions of the device. You should not opt ​​for large juicers. Larger sizes do not mean that the juice will be squeezed out faster, but such a unit will take up quite a bit of space in the kitchen, and it will also be more difficult to clean.
4. Material for body and parts. and the parts will be more reliable. They do not absorb odors, are easier to clean, do not crack or scratch, but such a juicer will cost more than its relatives. Of course, there are models made of plastic parts that are not inferior in quality to metal parts, but the price will not differ significantly either.
5. Continuous operation of the juicer. In cases where the needs of juice consist only of daily consumption, then data on the possible time of continuous operation is not important. But if the juice is extracted for canning, then it is worth paying attention to the characteristics of the selected device.

Auger juicers are more reliable

Care

Basic rules for care and operation:

• Always check that the juicer is collected correctly before starting work;
• the device should not be in a dirty state after its operation;
• don’t be lazy when cutting fruits and vegetables, this will help avoid overloading the engine;

Experiment between auger and centrifugal juicer:

Additional rules for the care and operation of the auger juicer are included in the instructions, which must be read carefully before starting work. Ignoring them, the device may break, and if this is due to the fault of the buyer, the manufacturer declines all warranty obligations.

We understand the features of different models

A juicer is a fairly familiar device for us, although it is not an essential item in kitchen life. This is a thing that helps separate a fruit or vegetable into juice and the rest of the cake. There are models that can squeeze out greens, nuts, and frozen foods. Juicers, like Borges's creatures, can be classified according to a large number of parameters. But we will begin, no matter how trivial it may be, with the origin of species.

Types of juicers

Initially, there were only one type of juicers - manual presses. Such devices, of course, could not cope with all types of fruit: for example, it’s easy to squeeze an orange, grapes or watermelon with a press, but try doing the same with a head of cabbage.

Manual grape press

In the middle of the 20th century, the first centrifuge models appeared. They were, as usual, at first industrial and very cumbersome creatures. These mastodons did not have a container for dumping the pulp; it simply remained in the bowl and at some point began to interfere with the pressing process. Then we had to stop the device, disassemble and clean it.

The revolution was made by the idea of ​​​​making the squeezing drum not cylindrical, but cone-shaped. As a result, the same centrifugal force that squeezes the juice through small holes in the drum then throws the lighter pulp outside of it.

Grind (bottom grater) - squeeze - throw away

After this, centrifugal models began their evolution. And at the same time, other types of juicers were moving towards the same goal (to make it deft, convenient and fun for us to make juice from just about anything). For example, screw. If centrifugal juicers are direct relatives of drum washing machines, then auger juicers are a modified meat grinder.

Industrial auger juicer at a wine and cognac factory.
Typical loading volumes - truckload of grapes.

However, types of devices that operate using the power of the owner’s hands and the laws of physics are still popular. When you search for “juice press,” you will find an assortment of devices online, including a cheap plastic citrus cone and an expensive chrome-plated manual press for squeezing pomegranates.

Electric presses are small in size, easy to store and clean, and easy to use. But such models do not imply food variety: oranges, grapefruits, and, in extreme cases, lemons and limes (if the appropriate attachment is included in the kit). You cannot squeeze out a lot of juice this way - the process is too long and human-dependent.

Centrifugal juicers

Modern models of this type have high power, allowing centrifuge rotation speeds to reach 16,000 rpm. The centrifuge is a fine sieve made of stainless metal. The product first falls on a rotating grater, then during the rotation process it is thrown with force onto the walls and separated into juice and cake. The liquid is drained through the spout into one special container, the solid residues fall into another.

Centrifugal juicers are leaders in spin speed. These devices quickly and efficiently handle all soft types of vegetables and fruits. It’s a little worse with solid products - the juice yield is lower than in auger models. And it is almost impossible to extract juice from greens and fibrous vegetables and fruits using centrifugal force.

In addition, the juice from a centrifugal juicer turns out to be quite foamy, and this is an integral feature of the extraction method, so “good” juicers will exhibit this property no less than “bad” ones.

Our reviews of centrifugal juicers:

Panasonic MJ-SJ01- fast, but not very effective and with an overcomplicated design.

Redmond RJ-M906- a model with good speed and juice yield.

Steba E160- fast and incredibly effective model for its type. But not cheap.

Axion SC 32- a domestic device made in the “Back to USSR” manner. Normal speed and juice yield.

Philips HR1836- compact, works quickly, easy to clean.

Auger juicers

These models extract juice with the highest quality - their product yield is on average higher than that of centrifugal models. The operation of the device is based on a screw mechanism (auger), which breaks the fruit and presses it. Since the juice is obtained by pressing the crushed fruit through a mesh, it contains quite a lot of pulp, and the cake comes out almost dry.

These devices can be used to make not only juice, but also smoothies, sorbets and nut butters. Some models have separate attachments for chopping, dough making and pureeing.

Screw devices are divided by type of mechanism arrangement (horizontal and vertical) and by the number of screws (single and double screw).

Vertical screw juicers

The screw mechanism is located vertically. The auger itself grabs and cuts the fruit; during loading there is almost no need to use a pusher. Such models take up relatively little space on the table (their main dimension is height) and work quite quickly - in terms of speed, the fastest ones are close to the average centrifugal juicer.

Our reviews of vertical auger juicers:

Tribest Slowstar SW-2000- a very interesting model, a slow spin device with a grinding attachment and a net for smoothies and purees.

Rawmid JDM-80- a model with touch control and several operating modes, there is an attachment for cutting vegetables.

Kitfort KT-1101- cheap and easy to operate model with good spin

Caso SJW 400- expensive model with a wide neck. Works quickly, with a large juice yield.

Redmond RJ-M920S- works quickly and efficiently, not cheap.

Horizontal screw juicers

Positioned horizontally, like a meat grinder, the auger allows you to process complex products such as seeds and grass. Of course, such models are larger, at least in terms of the area occupied on the countertop. In addition, they require the user to carefully approach the cutting of raw materials - the neck diameter of this type of device, as a rule, is even smaller than that of vertical screw devices, and besides, a horizontal screw, unlike a vertical one, is not located to grind the product itself.

As in the case of a meat grinder, here you have to actively use the pusher. The operating cycle of horizontal screw models is usually longer than that of vertical ones.

Our reviews of horizontal auger juicers:

Princess VitaPure 202041- copes well with fibrous fruits, but creaks and smells of plastic.

Sana/Omega EUJ-707- makes nut butter and sorbets, the set includes a chopper and an attachment for homemade noodles.

Twin screw juicers

Two augers make it possible to efficiently and quickly process a large number of fruits, including hard and fibrous types. Devices of this type appeared relatively recently and are gradually becoming fashionable along with professional blenders. The reason for the emergence of demand for both devices is the same - mass interest in healthy eating, which is associated with the presence of a large number of dishes made from raw fruits in the diet.

Our heroes are quite expensive - which is quite logical, the price of a healthy lifestyle grows in direct proportion to its popularity.

Unfortunately, our laboratory has not yet received devices of this type.

Selection principle

What should you pay attention to when buying a juicer? To begin with, it’s worth deciding what type of model we are buying, for which it would be nice to answer a few simple questions:

1. How often do you plan to use the device? The higher the frequency of use, the more important compactness and ease of cleaning become.
2. What are you going to process? The choice of design directly depends on the type of raw material.
3. How much are you going to process? For those who want to regularly drink a glass of fresh juice, and those who prepare products from garden fruits in the fall, the choice of model will be different.
4. What additional requirements do you have for the device? Speed ​​of operation, ease of use, additional attachments, high yield of the final product, the ability to process large quantities of raw materials, working with complex products (hard fruits, nuts, herbs) - you can select several parameters, but, alas, not all at once.
5. How much are you willing to pay for all of the above?

Now let's determine the characteristics of the juicers themselves. There aren't that many of them.

1. Speed. Everything is clear here: how much product the device can process per unit of time.
2. Efficiency. How much juice is obtained from the same amount of raw materials? The more, the better, of course.
3. Quality. We owe this parameter to centrifugal juicers: they foam the juice, which all other types do not do. Therefore, we will assume that their quality of the resulting product is slightly lower.
4. Convenience. This includes the need for careful preparation of raw materials for processing (for example, fine cutting), the duration of assembly and disassembly, and the convenience of washing the component parts of the device. In general, the amount of your work and time.
5. Omnivorous. How wide a range of raw materials can the device use to extract juice from them.
6. Price. Of course, it is not entirely correct to apply this parameter to an entire class of devices, but some objective trends still exist.

If we try to roughly evaluate each type of juicer using a five-point system, where five is the best (that is, the most profitable for the owner) point, we get the following table:

Juicer type	Speed	Efficiency	Quality	Convenience	Omnivorous	Price	Total
Citrus press	3	4	5	5	2	5	24
Centrifugal	5	3	4	4	3	4	23
Vertical screw	4	5	5	3	4	3	24
Horizontal screw	3	5	5	2	5	2	22

Perhaps the most interesting conclusion that can be drawn from this table is that each of the devices is approximately equally good for its tasks: the lowest score is 22, and the highest is 24, that is, there is no huge difference. Therefore, you just need to correctly determine the tasks.

It’s easiest for those who prefer a glass or two of citrus juice for breakfast: an electric citrus press is definitely for them. It is inexpensive, easy to maintain, takes up little space, and handles the volume of a couple of glasses quite quickly. However, you will be severely limited in the range and volume: “pressing” even a liter with such a device is already a rather long task.

Those who like to save money will start their choice with centrifugal juicers: the price of some budget models is approximately at the level of citrus presses. However, we should not forget about one pitfall: a cheap centrifugal model with a low-power and relatively low-speed engine may be deprived of one of the most important advantages of this type of juicer - speed. And its efficiency will inevitably be worse than that of more expensive models.

Those who sometimes need to process several bags of apples brought from the countryside can pay attention to expensive and powerful centrifugal juicers. Their speed of work is impressive. True, sometimes you will have to take breaks (usually the maximum time of continuous operation is indicated in the instructions), but still, a high-quality and powerful centrifugal model is quite capable of processing about 10 kilograms of fruit in 1 session. And the diameter of the neck often allows you to throw the same apples there simply whole.

The most versatile and versatile unit should be recognized as a vertical auger juicer. The operating speed of fast models is not much inferior to centrifugal ones, the range of fruits is much larger (for example, a class such as berries is immediately added), the efficiency of screw models is higher, affordable prices are also found, and, in our experience, they have no obvious disadvantages revealed. Well, the low speed is compensated by the fact that the maximum operating time for some models reaches half an hour. As a rule, the neck of auger juicers is narrower than that of centrifugal juicers, so the raw materials require more careful preparation. However, there are also screw models with a wide neck - although not in the budget sector.

A horizontal auger juicer adds some more raw materials to the list of raw materials available for processing (but without such a dramatic leap as when switching from a centrifugal to a vertical auger), and it is also often equipped with additional attachments that allow you to do various other things - for example, pressing butter from nuts and sunflower seeds In general, it is unofficially believed that a horizontal auger juicer is “for gourmets and aesthetes.” This is also why, as you probably already guessed, “cheap horizontal auger juicer” is an oxymoron. The narrow neck here is a mandatory design feature, so the raw materials will have to be cut into small pieces. As a rule, horizontal auger models operate even slower than vertical ones.

Basic selection options

Here we will not mention common places for evaluating home appliance models. Of course, build quality, production materials, design, and dimensions are important. In our reviews we describe the entire set of parameters. Here and now we will focus on the main features depending on the type of juicer.

Electric citrus presses

It makes sense to visually assess the reliability of the design, but in general, as with any device with which you actively interact in the literal sense of the word with your hands, the most important thing for the press is convenience. And specifically for your hands. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to evaluate this parameter without experience of use.

Centrifugal models

Not all manufacturers indicate the number of revolutions per minute, but in the vast majority of cases this parameter directly correlates with engine power - and everyone indicates it. As a rule, powerful and high-performance models (that is, why we love the centrifugal spin principle) have a motor with a power of 1000 W or more. Moreover, it can be much higher - 2000 W, for example.

A neck width of 80mm or more is a good choice. As we already wrote above, this allows you to stick a medium-sized apple in there as a whole without cutting it.

Screw models

It is not that difficult to stop a screw juicer (for example, by pushing too much raw material into it). In these cases, by analogy with a meat grinder, reverse can be very useful.

It is not customary to require a wide neck from screw devices (although you should know: such things do exist!), but it makes sense to make sure that the neck and pusher are made conveniently. This is especially true for horizontal models.

General parameters for centrifugal and auger models: convenient and spacious containers for juice and pulp and the presence of a foam separator on the lid of the juice jug. The last thing is optional, but pleasant.

Caring for the device

In any case, if you choose a centrifugal or screw model, you cannot avoid scrubbing the separator mesh with a special brush. This should be done immediately after using the device. This is not the most pleasant activity, but not horror, horror, horror, but just ten minutes of intensive manual labor. The procedure becomes more complicated if you do not have access to running water.

The easiest to clean devices we tested were electric citrus presses. These devices also require cleaning immediately after use, but this will only take about three minutes.

Website performance ratio

In our reviews of juicers you will find this option. What does it mean?

When we test a juicer, we do 4 mandatory tests: Green Granny Smith apples, pink grapefruits, carrots and cabbage. In each case, we measure exactly 1 kilogram of raw materials and record the processing time of the product. Then we measure the juice yield in grams and calculate the arithmetic average of the production time of the four types of product and the juice yield.

These numbers allow you to evaluate the operating speed of the device and the spin efficiency. On average, naturally, centrifugal models will have a high speed, and auger models will have a high juice yield. And vice versa: a juice yield of more than 500 g (from 1 kg of raw material) is a high indicator for a centrifugal model, and an operating time of less than 3 minutes (for processing 1 kg of raw material) is a good speed for a screw device.

conclusions

We tried to give the most objective assessment of what is happening in the world of household juice extraction. By and large, the choice of the majority of people seriously interested in the topic is limited to two types of models: centrifugal or auger. Advanced users - those who often make a lot of juice from different raw materials - now most often choose their favorite from auger models, because the variety of starting products has in fact turned out to be more important than processing speed. A cheap centrifugal juicer usually has one advantage - price. Expensive ones acquire the second thing - processing speed.

We left out what is mainly discussed on forums - the quality and experience of using a certain model of a specific brand. The purpose of this material is to summarize information and find simple and understandable selection options. But we have provided links to all our reviews of tested juicers - there you can find specific models with their features, advantages and disadvantages.

It is no secret that freshly squeezed juice is a source of vitamins and many useful, vital micro- and macroelements. In addition, it is an integral component of most diets and the main foundation of modern juice therapy.

The optimal device for making juice is a horizontal auger juicer. This is an incredibly multifunctional household appliance, one of the main advantages of which is the ability to juice vegetables, fruits and herbs.

The squeezing action in standard centrifugal juicers is inefficient. After all, units of this type first grind vegetables and fruits on an existing grater, and then, using a centrifuge mechanism, separate the juice from the pulp. The process takes place at high speeds, which leads to an increase in the temperature of the product. As a result, the most valuable vitamins and minerals are lost.

How to achieve a high-quality and healthy drink? The centrifugal unit is replaced by an innovative screw juicer. This machine differs from a centrifuge machine by introducing high-quality cold-pressed fresh juice technology into its creation.

What is an auger juicer?

What does the definition of auger juicer mean and on what principle does it work? The internal design of such a unique cold-pressing unit is a screw rod that squeezes out the juice from the products that have been ground into a fine state through a fine-grained sieve. The entire operation is performed at low speed. As a result, the juice does not heat up and does not oxidize, producing a natural and healthy drink. The product exceeds the juice obtained from a centric-type electric juicer in terms of vitamins and nutrients – by as much as 5 times.

Screw juicer samples have the following advantages:

• Low speed revolutions of the device prevent oxidation of products, preserving all high-quality and useful elements;
• The resulting juice from screw units retains all its properties for 52 hours;
• Key mechanisms and elements of devices are not subject to centrifugal force, making it possible to increase operating time without exposing it to the risk of failure;
• Reduced noise level;
• Extraction of wort and juice even from high-density products such as grains, legumes and nuts.

The difference between a screw juicer and a centrifugal juicer

Despite their fairly high-speed operation and ease of operation, electric centrifugal units have a number of disadvantages in comparison with unique juicers with a screw rod. Because:

1. The yield of juice from products placed in a centrifugal apparatus is 40-50% less than when placed in a screw apparatus.
2. During the process of serving the finished juice, it heats up. This action leads to the loss of all essential vitamins, macro- and microelements.
3. Storing prepared juice in a centrifugal device is unacceptable after 25 minutes.
4. During spinning, the product comes into close contact with oxygen. Because of this, the juice oxidizes in the centrifuge device and comes out with foam.
5. Increased product consumption.

Types of auger juicers

All auger models of juicers are divided into several types.

Manual

Mechanical units that are ordinary and universal juicers. Compact and quite comfortable devices that squeeze out fresh juices and wort from any vegetables, grains and legumes. This auger is indispensable for juice lovers who love to travel or summer residents. Does not depend on the power grid.

Save

Horizontal single screw

These devices are similar to standard meat grinders. Universal meat grinders that perform the functions of: crusher, press, manufacturer of homemade noodles and sausages. A unit with a horizontal single auger works best for squeezing herbs. Multifunctional devices, characterized by a low price, operate from the network.

Save

Horizontal twin screw

The “big sister” of the single-screw horizontal juicer, which has two parallel screw rods. A powerful unit that squeezes must and juices from all vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and pine needles. Special tips that come with these devices make it possible to make: amazing purees, nut and pine butter, and sherbet. Twin-screw units grind coffee and spices, prepare noodles and sausages. They are quite effective devices that produce a large yield of juice, wort and oil from products.

Save

Vertical

Vertical screw devices are compact devices with the ability to squeeze out the largest proportion of wort and juice from all types of vegetable, grain and legume products. The only exception is grass. Under the pressure of gravity, the ingredients themselves fall under the auger, which greatly speeds up the spin action. And thanks to the silicone brush located inside the vertical auger juicer, the pulp from the mesh is constantly cleaned. As a result, the ratio of juice to pulp increases significantly. The method of pressing these aggregates ensures the preservation of the cellular structure of the loaded products.

Specifications

The key technical parameters of auger-type juicers include:

• Capacity, for different models, from 0.4 to 1.2 liters;
• RPM speed indicators: from 65 to 1000 in 1 minute;
• Spin function: horizontal or vertical;
• Number of screw rods: single screw or twin screw;
• Intensity having indicators: from 150 W to 1 kW;
• Neck calibration;
• The presence of reverse motion, which increases productivity;
• Calibration of grid cells. The smallest diameter of the mesh opening makes the juice output better.

These characteristics are the main ones when choosing the best auger juicer for your home. A review of the screw juicers that are most popular among consumers will help you decide on the right choice of unit.

How to choose the best?

If you are planning to buy an auger juicer, then it is better to know in advance what to pay attention to first when choosing. Below is a short list of technical characteristics that the selected device should have:

1. Device type. Vertical and horizontal. The first type is distinguished by its small size, speed and careful processing of raw materials. The second type, on the contrary, is ready to extract juice from everything that gets into it, be it hard vegetables and fruits, fresh and frozen greens, berries with or without seeds. They also differ in cost.
2. Housing material. Plastic or steel? The first ones are lightweight, affordable, made of durable heat-resistant plastic that will not melt during operation, but is quite easily soiled and becomes unsightly over time due to contact with the coloring juices of beets, carrots, etc. Models made of steel are heavier, last longer, and look stylish. Not susceptible to dyes.
3. Screw material. The screw inside should be made of steel or cast iron, this will protect the juice from oxidation during squeezing. For those who are afraid of this and when using metal augers, there are models with plastic ones. They are in no way inferior to their “colleagues”.
4. Operating mode options. You need a universal assistant in the kitchen - choose a larger number of modes, and in auger juicers there are up to 9 of them.
5. Power. This indicator affects the speed of juice production. Often, all juicers have low power and operate at minimum speed, but this is quite enough to squeeze out a couple of glasses in a matter of minutes.
