Juicer foam

I've googled this and I all get is "live with it" - but maybe somebody here has tips.

When one uses a juicer at home, is the thickish foam formation inevitable or can anything to added to the juicer or glass to reduce it? Its a first world problem, clearly , but maybe somebody cracked it?

It happens with my juicer when I load up the machine too slowly, or when I use too many leafy stuff. Try to alternate between soft and hard veggies/fruits..one piece of apple, then kale, then carrot, then kale etc...

Never yet found a way

I tend to let it settle for a bit before pouring and my extraction jug has a plate so it pours from midway down the liquid, works well enough if you're slow.

A friend decants into a special jug that takes liquid from the bottom, but as far as stopping the actual foam formation...... Pass

What machine did you end up getting?

Best,

David

Maybe its time to change the juicer

Speak to vegan chef on what to do with it, he'll come up with a 5 course meal that will add 20 years to your life.

A Solis Juice Fountain Pro centrifugal one. I couldn't find any of the others that were recommended and I was too impatient to wait

Very happy with it and the jug does separate the foam as yours, but I hoped there was a better way

Alas i dont think there is..

Ive been meaning to ask my friend where they got their jug, it makes it better, I'll let you know when I find out...

Mate, What you need is a vacuum bell jar.

Do all your juicing at ~0.001 Torr for instant froth free goodness.

Apologies, its late.

A vacuum chamber would give you more froth.. you need a pressure chamber which might cost an extra few quid... but still worth it for the perfect glass of juice.

That juicer look fabulous! Can you get them in Switzerland?

Easy fix: just buy a sieve and pour it once through into a glass when you've finished juicing.

I have the Philips HR1861 and no problems with that so far.

Yeah - I guess I was looking for a food science geek to tell me that if you sprinkle the fruit with a tiny amount of cornflour or rub the inside of the jug with lemon juice that it created a reaction which etc etc etc, but I guess not

Try this:

They've been doing it for years in China .

Sprinkle some salt on top, then stir it in after a bit. Will probably enhance the favour too and give you an isoton-"isch" drink to boot.

(Or potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride if your cutting down on salt)

Yes, you can find them anywhere - Fust, MediaMarkt

It is about 300 Chf.

BTW this is just a wild speculation, but assuming the NaCl will cause enought surface tension reduction to pop the little foam bubbles.

maybe one of these places can rent theirs to you for an hour.

If you dive, it could go on your accident insurance

read all the user reviews first, quite a large proportion of dissatisfied people too! http://www.amazon.com/Hurom-HU-100-S...owViewpoints=1

Thank you. I have an attachment on my food processor. But it's so horrible I just never bother.

Will ask Santa to bring me one!

What? NO! I was so happy not to have to research a new juicer.... Sigh.

I will ask Santa for one also and hopefully they will make it a little cheaper for Xmas
