Breville 800JEXL Question

[Erin Timmins]

Hi, I'm considering a Commercial Grade Juicer and would like one that will also make nut butters. Does anyone know if the Breville Juice Fountains will do this ?

Thanks !

I had a Breville Juice Fountain and HIGHLY recommend avoiding them. Breville normally makes great products, but their juicers are all centrifugal types, which means they operate at extremely high speeds and whip in tons of air into the juice, oxidizing most of it instantly causing it to lose it's nutritional value.

Not only that, they can't juice anything leafy, are very inefficient so the pulp still has juice in it, and they cannot make anything like nut butters.

I highly recommend the Hurom slow juicer or the Omega VRT (exact same machine, different brand name printed on it). They can juice anything and operate at a slow speed so they do not oxidize the juice. The price is similar to the Breville commercial model, but the product is FAR superior.

However I don't think they can make nut butter, I did have a Green Star juicer that could, but found a food processor is a far better tool for making nut butter. I sold the Green Star because it's slow, overly complicated to clean and ridiculously huge wasting lots of counter space, but ti's still probably the best juicer for juice quality and efficiency, but the slow speed and complex cleaning caused me to barely use it 4 times a year, I much prefer my new Hurom juicer.

I did a quick search and the Hurom slow juicer/Omega VRT can make nut butter but aren't designed to so it could possibly over-stress and break the juicer which wouldn't be covered by warranty since it's not approved for this type of use, but this video shows it can be done:

But again I prefer a food processor for nut butter.

No they do not. The champion does I am not sure what others. There is a big thread under juicing that has a ton of info on juicers.
