Can you squeeze fresh lemon or lime into the Stainless container, or is it not a good Idea, will the acid from the fruit leak into container???

Citric acid is a good organic stainless steel cleaner, so I don't think it will hurt it. But I'm not a metallurgist, so take this advice with a grain of salt!

This container is not made for Carbinated or pulpy beverages. You can drink water or tea in the stainless container.

I doubt the acid would be a problem, but I do not know for sure. It will stay extremely cold regardless.

Actually I did some lemons last week and they worked just fine. The bottom container only contained the juice and the seeds did not get through. Good luck!

I would think it would be okay. I use mine while canning tomatoes. I used it to peel the tomatoes over to catch the juice for canning after I was finished with marinara, salsa and so on. I would think acidic tomato juice sitting in there for hours would rust it if anything would. Hope this helps!

Yes, I have used it for limes and it works perfect. The unit is really not that big.

Your question got me thinking, so I did a quick test. I filled one up with a bit of water, put the lid in place and tried 1) holding it upside down and 2) jostling and shaking it. The results: I did not see or experience any leakage. Hope this info helps you out!

Well... The juice won't be in contact with the container for long... If that helps... Haven't had to shop for a juicer but maybe there are some with stainless or some other material...

I have juiced both limes and lemons in this juicer and it does a decent job. They do need to be cut in quarters to fit into the feed chute. One of the juicing sites recommends peeling citrus with a potato peeler or something similar to remove the outer layer of skin if you don't like the super-tart taste of the citrus oil. I have done this and it works quite well. The white inner layer of the skin is supposed to contain extra nutrients so it is left on and run through the juicer.

I worry this product isn't the best for you. I have no problem with smaller lemons, but bigger lemons are really hard to juice using this item. Also, it's pretty heavy as far as juice presses go. I might recommend something more like this for you: Chef'n Juicester Citrus Juicer and Reamer (Small)

Yes, I filled it up many times with the same fruit. As long is it is kept refrigerated, you can use the same fruit for several days. It does take time for the flavor to get into the water tho, so at least an overnight. I have had great luck with lemons or pineapple.

So far I'm very pleased with mine. I haven't had it for a long period of time (few months) but it is easy to clean and works well. I have used it for limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit.

There are two ways to use this type of juicer. You'll photos or videos showing putting the half face down and others with the half face up. Both ways work if you let the juice go into a bowl that's larger than the juicer. It takes some experimenting depending on the size of the sphere or ball shape of the fruit. Small lemons and regular limes work fine, using that technique of trying it both ways. Really small lemons are similar to key limes. It seems to work best to do one squeeze right side up and one squeeze upside down.Good luck!

No. Use lime juice and store it with a good seal. The brown color is just that, color. It will not affect the taste. Just stir it up and enjoy!

I haven't tried limes. I have juiced lemons with the peel sliced into sections. It worked great!

No i think it would be too small. I use it for lemons and limes and it seems to work perfect. I think it would be on the small side for grapefruit.

it's never clogged for me as i have just used ice, mix and alcohol. Using lime and lemons mostly.. pre squeezed... don't think i would try to pour any "muddled" type things through this... BUT it may not be a problem even then...

Yeah it's totally fine. I generally use lemons, which is the most acidic and its plastic-free-tasting. I bought the glass bottle strictly because I didn't want any plastic taste that you normally get. It's a durable infuser, difficult to break - which makes cleaning easy.

I have never used this for fruit juices or sodas, however, there is not reason for the stainless steel to give any problems. I have other stainless cups and use it for a variety of beverages.
