Can you do wheat grass with this juicer?

No, you can't do wheat grass. You need a screw type juicer. My Big Boss only lasted a couple of months of once a day use. It produces more pulp than juice, which is good if you have a compost pile, but wastes a lot of food and nutrients. Plus, it doesn't seal correctly so you have to wrap a towel around it or the walls get covered in pulp. I'm no mechanical dummy either. I've built cars and motorcycles and built sets in Hollywood for 14 years. My Big Boss was tossed in the garbage two months after buying it. Horribly designed machine. Make the investment and buy a screw type juicer. You can even do seeds with them and there's barely no waste, which will pay for the difference quickly. No, you can't do wheat grass.

I wouldn't reccomend it....this juicer is good with juicy fruits and vegetablles, not so much with leaves and grasses...

O don't think so bit I would not buy this juicer as its junk. if you have a Costco near I would recommend getting one from there.

I have tried juicing wheatgrass with this juicer, however I feel it seems to be a bit wasteful compared to a juicer specifically for wheatgrass.

Yes, you can juice wheatgrass alone. If you have trouble with clogs you can use the reverse mode and or remove the clog easily in less than a minute. The juicer comes apart quite easily and the auger and all parts are very easily accessible.Thanks,Mike - CoolShinyStuff

No. The mesh screen is too delicate for that sort of thing. It would probably rip it, rendering the juicer useless.

Even though it looks like a grinder, it is not. It is a juicer, meant to be used for wheat-grass juicing or other green veggies. I don't think this product even works with coconut or meat.

Yes. you can. That is the sole purpose of a juicer. Cleaning this juicer is quite easy too.

No, because I don't like it enough to use it more. It's not good for greens like the reviews say. If you have more money to spend, spend it on a better juicer.

I haven't tried wheat grass but it works well for kale and spinach. Sorry I can't help...

Hi S. Sudduth, an acme will NOT juice wheat grass. The manual juicers are the BEST for extracting the driest wheat grass leavings, HOWEVER if you want a juicer that will juice veg. fruit and wheat grass, I would suggest getting a Samson Juicer, because 1. it is a 6 and 1 juicer/oil expeller/pasta maker/veggie slicer/juicer/herb juicer including wheat grass and pine needles/meat grinder (only so-so on that, it mostly tore the meat not grind). It is easy to clean, can make banana ice cream without special blades, and honestly, I have found it good for everything BUT old fruit: it tends to foam up quite a bit. If you decide to do old apples, I would suggest asking Samson for a sleeve (like a norwalk sleeve, but closed on one side) so you can squeeze the juice from the pulp that is so thick, you'll need to do this. The price? Under 289.00 the last time I saw them. Next would be a champion juicer, the last would be a norwalk because of their costs being so prohibited. I would NOT recommend a centristical juicer (this is what a LaLanne and Acme are) because they spin the juice out away from the barrel filter for anything but fruit and veggie juicing and would recommend that you DON"T use this for seeded fruits like grapes, because it is hard on the machine and the blades tend to spit the seeds everywhere. Manual juicers for Wheatgrass are fine, but very time consuming and hard on the arms, if you are doing any volume.

Don't overload it. The machine makes a kind of death stretch while juicing wheatgrass so keep it light and the juice will flow

I do not recommend using this juice press for grinding. It is designed for pressing juice from vegetation. Actually it is good specifically for wheat grass.

I have successfully juiced spinach in this machine. It is not meant for wheat grass and you need a masticating juicer for that.

Hi Beck, It does work with the juicer. I do not use it often because it takes a lot of time to grind one pound of wheat berries. The flour is fine enough for my uses. Hope this answers your question. Thanks

Yes you can! I have juiced thick kale, celery and many coarse veggies. Not wheat grass yet. In the book it says it works fine. I am not sure about the attachment. Make sure the inner core is well oiled. I use coconut oil so the rotating device with tiny teeth like blades rotate smoothly.

Yes, but you won't need to use it much if you chop the produce in small pieces. Watch the videos on YouTube from " discount juicers " and they will give you lots of info on how to juice with the best results.

I have not tried wheatgrass in it. From everything I've read about juicers, the masticating kind are best for grasses and greens.

I haven't used kale in it yet, but I'm sure it could. It's probably not the best juicer for this purpose, but if you like the fact that you don't need electricity to operate it, it's certainly acceptable.
