I just got this juicer, and the juice is mostly foam. I started with some kale, wheat grass, then some fruits. 2/3 foam.. Any ideas?

all juicers will have some type of foam, but in my experience it depends of the veg you use. I use a strainer if to much, but I use it mostly for pulp. I would just remove it. There are some special plastic cups that has a lid on it to keep the foam in the jug while you pour the juice into a glass. good luck

Milk Nut bags or Paint strainer bags from Home Depot are a must. Just YouTube how to use them. They are both the same bags just called different names but they absolutly will strain all the pulp and you will have straight wonderful juice! And on a side note, none of these masticating juicers, juice well without hard vegatables, none of them! I own this one and the Hurom Slow juicer and without carrots, beets, and or cucumbers you will find it hard to juice the leafy green for any long period of time. 5 mins into it your juicer will clog and just do foam, but if you have carrots or beets it will help push them through!

Leafy greens are juiced, but the quantity of juice is small. I like to bunch the kale so that the bunch meets the shredding blade. Otherwise, the kale parts break away without getting juiced.

Place a sieve over the juice collector, although the foam is not bad at all, neither taste wise, nor health.If you use the sieve that comes with the juicer, you will get almost zero foam; in fact, I think it is too little foam when I use the factory sieve.

To be honest, and I LOVE my Breville, if you are looking to extract all the juice in greens, you would be better with a "green juicer", which presses the greens to extract the juice. The centrifugal force juicers really don't work well with wheat grass and greens. OR you can juice your fruits and veggies, and place the greens in a Vitamix and then add them with the pulp!!

The Omega J8006 produces some foam. When I started using it I used a strainer to take off the foam but no longer do that. It juices the entire fruit/veggie. Lemon, apples ( I core my apples but my son does not)... Keep in mind you will need to cut the produce down to fit into the chute. I love my juicer!

I'd give it a C. The pulp still has a lot of juice in it and when I'm juicing beets, sometimes a small mist comes out even though it is locked tight. My previous one was a slow juicer and the pulp was really dry. I wouldn't recommend it.

Because greens typically do not have a lot of juice, the juicer tends to clog. If you follow it with something juicy, like a fruit, it will help with the greens extraction.

Juices everything. I make a juice that includes papaya, apples, pears, spinach, celery, parsley, kale, and cucumber. The opening is like 3 in so I have to cut some things down to fit but I but the whole thing -- skin, seeds, stems, etc. it has no problem. Fair warning -- keep an eye on the pulp shoot. Things like greens and skins will accumulate and can cause the juicer to clog up. However, I was making two pitchers of juice at the time. But I love it

I've had the juicer in use everyday since mid-May. It's hard to get the smooze that's built up off the plastic parts.

let the juicer run a little longer -- depending upon what you are juicing, if you have soft and hard product, end with the hardest product. This should push out the greatest amount --- If you are doing softer fruits/vegetables, you will have a little left over-- best to 'play around with what you are pushing through. DON"T GIVE UP! :)

The pulp is fairly dry. I tried putting the pulp back in the juicer and i really didnt get much of anything the second time through.

Hi, Kaitlyn, the pulp, skin, etc . . . was actually pretty mushy, once all the juice ran into the glass. In fact, a lot of the contents was stuck to the inside of the machine, instead of going into the container. I had the lid on properly, but it didn't seem to transfer all the contents into the bin. Some of the fruit was even stuck on the outside of that tool, used to push it down into the chamber. It was fairly quiet, considering how big this thing is. As for being compact and transportable, I would have to say "No." This thing is huge, and you have to make sure that several parts are securely in place, otherwise, you will get a big mess, when you turn it on.

The pulp comes out wet on first pass, moist on second, dry on third pass. Even though the wheat grass comes out wet still after first pass, a lot of juice has been extracted. I am extremely happy with this product. The juicer gets loose and needs to be tightened when too much pulp is put in the juicer at one time. I juice frequently.

From all the reviews I've read on various juicers, you'll need a "macerating" extractor as opposed to the Breville "centrifugal" extractor for your wheatgrass. I can't tell you which one because I don't do anything but fruit juices, but check Amazon as well as Epinions.

Yes, there is pulp. If you wish to have less pulp, there is a strainer included with the machine that you can use after juicing. Since the machine does not "chop" the things you juice, the waste pulp can be rather dry and stringy (especially leafy greens), so if you want to add it back in, you may need to mince it up a bit.

Yes I've juiced kale many times. I've learned to wash it (the night before) and let it dry before using as sometimes if the leaves are wet it doesn't juice as well.

Always juice your firmest fruit or vegetable last. This will clean out the auger and push out any softer items left in. Also, use the freshest items available. Those make the most juice with the driest pulp. That is really all I can think of. Wish I could be of more help.
