morning citrus

Our former Vermont cabin kitchen, putting our juicer to proper use on a snowy morning.

If there is one tried and true winter addition to our routine, it’s this Citrus Press Juicer we use almost daily. I consider it a luxury item in our home and love indulging in fresh grapefruit juice with my morning coffee. It’s my little moment of sanity in the throes of packing lunches, scanning emails and preparing for the day ahead. I am a big fan of practical and experiential gifts, and this baby has become a go-to of mine. It also serves as a great morning activity with littles as my son loves setting the table for breakfast and then making fresh squeezed juice.

Last Christmas I gifted my parents with this juicer and they love it too (though I think it gets more of a workout at cocktail hour). The price point isn’t offensive and it is easy to clean and use.

Better yet, gift with a basket of vibrant Cara Cara Oranges to accompany! Pro Tip: store your citrus in the fridge so the juice is cold.
