The Green Star Elite is a highly capable twin-gear slow juicer that has a tremendous reputation based on its performance and reliability. As a result, it has broad popularity and thanks to its 3 stage juicing mechanism, it keeps to the guidance of the Gerson therapy to maximise nutrient extraction.
To achieve its great juicing reputation, the Green Star Elite makes use of a twin-gear mechanism to great effect. This style of mechanism is widely regarded as the best when it comes to overall yields, and it is able to put ingredients under incredible pressure to enable maximum nutrient extraction.
This process is further optimised thanks to the jumbo gears found in the GSE. These gears are far longer than the gears seen in older Green Star models, which allows them to perform a 3 stage process for optimal results. These stages are as follows:
In combination, these stages allow the Green Star to extract some of the highest juice yields possible and it specialises at working with fibrous ingredients, such as leafy greens, celery and ginger.
Alongside the standard twin gear juicing mechanism, the Green Star Elite also makes use of a pulp control knob. This spring-loaded knob can be manually adjusted to different levels and allows for more or less pressure to be applied to ingredients as they are juiced.
Higher pressure works best when juicing low-yield ingredients such as leafy greens or celery, as it ensures deep juice extraction. Then, when working with juice-rich ingredients such as apples or oranges, a lower pressure level helps to avoid a pulp backlog while still facilitating high extraction levels.
On top of its juice-oriented advantages, the GSE also offers a very large selection of accessories in the box. These range from more typical options such as a cleaning brush or a drip tray to some nicer items such as a glass juice collection jug and a wooden pusher.
However, beyond the basic parts, it also comes with 3 different types of screen, which allow it to perform roles beyond just juicing. The coarse screen allows it to output smoothies, the breadstick screen allows it to mix and process doughs, and the homogenising screen allows it to make nut butter or breadcrumbs.
To ensure its lasting durability, Tribest has made the Green Star Elite from a range of high-quality materials. Starting with the gears, these are primarily made of stainless steel, ensuring they can handle the high pressures required to effectively extract high yields.
Then, the remaining juicing components are made of a range of durable and sturdy BPA-free plastics. This gives them a bit of flexibility to prevent cracking, while also importantly ensuring that no chemicals can leach from them into the juice.
In keeping with its use of high-quality materials, the Green Star Elite has a very practical design with a heavy focus on being sturdy and damage resistant. It also features some useful elements such as a carrying handle and a safety switch to prevent accidental activation.
This juicer is incredibly machine 90% to 100% nutrition weald im 100% satfied with this product
I was soo indecisive about which juicer to go for so I called Juicers.co.uk and they were ever so helpful. They took the time to explain to me about the different juicers and then recommended the most suitable one for me depending on my needs and what I intend on juicing on a regular basis. I finally decided to go for this juicer and spend the extra for the chrome finish. I have to say, the chrome finish does make the juicer look very slick and its performance is simply superb. I love the juicer and use it everyday without fail. The quality of juice is just amazing. I could never imagine drinking a bag of kale juice but this juicer has got me on the leafy greens. It is expensive but definitely worth it.
