Pressing juice with the Thermomix: Instructions, tips and the best accessories
Share
Fresh juice straight from the Thermomix – is it really possible?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: With the right accessories, the Thermomix becomes a full-fledged juicer. If you want freshly squeezed orange juice on the breakfast table in the morning, you don't need to buy a separate device. The TM6 and TM5 can be quickly and easily expanded with a juicer attachment.
In this article, we show you step by step how to juice, which fruits are suitable, and why the mixcover juicer for the Thermomix is the best choice.
Which fruits can you juice with the Thermomix?
Basically, all citrus fruits are excellent for the juicer on the Thermomix:
- Oranges – classic, yields approx. 150–200 ml per fruit
- Lemons – ideal for dressings, lemonades and cakes
- Limes – perfect for cocktails and Asian dishes
- Grapefruits – larger, so takes longer to juice
- Mandarins and clementines – sweet and easy to juice
Tip: Store fruit at room temperature before pressing and roll lightly – this releases more juice.
Step by step: Juicing with the Thermomix
What you need
- Thermomix TM6 or TM5
- mixcover juicer attachment
- Fresh citrus fruits
- A container to catch the juice
Step 1: Attach the juicer
The mixcover juicer is placed directly on the Thermomix lid. The attachment sits stable and secure – no wobbling, no slipping. The sieve reliably catches seeds and coarse pulp pieces.
Step 2: Halve the fruits
Cut your oranges, lemons, or grapefruits in half. A sharp knife ensures clean cuts and more juice when pressing.
Step 3: Press
Place the fruit half on the cone of the juicer and press it down with light pressure and a twisting motion. The juice flows directly into the Thermomix container below. After about 10–15 seconds, an orange is completely juiced.
Step 4: Remove the juice
Remove the juicer attachment and pour the juice from the Thermomix container into your glass. Done. No transferring, no extra vessel needed.
Step 5: Cleaning
The mixcover juicer is dishwasher safe. Alternatively, a quick rinse under running water is sufficient – the smooth plastic doesn't retain flavors.
5 tips for the best juice
- Bring fruit to room temperature – cold fruit yields less juice than warm fruit
- Roll before pressing – rolling fruit on the table loosens the cell structure
- Don't press too hard – too much pressure extracts bitter compounds from the peel
- Prefer organic fruits – especially if peel particles get into the juice
- Drink immediately – freshly pressed juice loses vitamins and flavor after just 15 minutes
Why a separate juicer is often unnecessary
Many households have a juicer sitting in the cupboard that hardly gets used. The problem: the device is large, difficult to clean, and designed for a single application. The Thermomix with juicer attachment replaces it inexpensively and saves space – you don't need another device.
The difference from expensive juicer models: The Thermomix juicer attachment is primarily suitable for citrus fruits. If you want to juice hard vegetables like carrots or beets, you really do need a slow juicer device. For daily fresh orange or lemon juice, however, the juicer attachment on the Thermomix is the more practical solution.
The best accessory: mixcover juicer for the Thermomix
The mixcover juicer is specially developed for the Thermomix TM5 and TM6. It fits perfectly on the lid, is BPA-free, and dishwasher safe. Seeds and coarse pulp are filtered out by the integrated sieve – the juice flows directly and cleanly into the container.
Compared to other juicer attachments on the market, the mixcover version stands out for:
- Precise fit for TM5 and TM6
- Sturdy material without BPA
- Easy cleaning (dishwasher safe)
- Efficient sieve – no pulp in the juice
Conclusion: Juicing with the Thermomix is child's play
With the right attachment, the Thermomix becomes a juicer in seconds. No additional device, no mess in the kitchen, no tedious cleaning. Simply attach the accessory, press the fruit, and enjoy the juice.
