If you’re not passionate about fruit and veggies enough to devote significant counter space to your morning juice routine, the brightly colored Chef’n Juice­ster, $15, is a good buy. The manual citrus-only juicer is easy to use and its compact, dishwasher-safe design allows for carefree cleanup and storage. I effortlessly twisted the halves of two small blood oranges around the reamers to get a sweet, zingy 4-oz. treat. The cup has measuring information, which makes it great for using fresh lemon or lime juice in cooking, too. I’m not a big fan of heavy pulp so my favorite feature is the dual straining system, which holds back pulp and seeds as you juice and then again as you pour.
