You can also buy a juicer. Takes a negligible effort to clean, and with all those grocery delivery services, the slogging vegetables around part is taken care of.

> Takes a negligible effort to clean

Which one? Not trolling, but I've bought (and returned) 3 different juices in the 300 - 500$ range that were a pain to clean, dry and put away. Even the ones made in Korea that are "only 5 parts" are annoying. I've had soft shreds getting stuck in the ejection tube, and the only way to clean it is (that I've found out) by using an ear bud to push it out.

I have a Braun MP32, bought by my parents when I was born. The thing works fine. Parts are still available, as are the machines (2nd hand but who cares?).

Yeah I use a wooden chopstick to unclog my Kuvings.

If you like the have both the pulp and juice, a high quality blender like the Vitamix is better. In this case, you just fill the jar with water and run it for 30s to clean it.

That doesn't work in an office environment. The "K" coffee makers are a dream in breakrooms everywhere.

Yeah, that's a valid point. In a breakroom there is a commons and unless there's someone who maintains the commons it will get dirty and the refirgerator will get filled with rotting crap. Keurig side steps that by not needing cleaning or messy supplies. Just add paper cups and you don't even need a dishwasher.

Office break rooms solve this by having bottles of Odwalla and the like in the drinks fridge along with all the other drinks. Juicero is ostensibly fresher but, as the demonstration shows, it's really not and the quality is the same as any other cold pressed juice.
